JD Gyms - Sheffield South Reviews 231

no:-1 There is no security, any buddy steal the bag from the changing room, management dit not take any actions,
Instead of taking action they blame the victim.
For example if someone sells a drugs in side the gym that means management they support the criminals because they can not take responsibility so that means any buddy can do anything in side the changing room right?

No:-2 not good experience with gym trainers he not gives proper answer infect he ignored new gym members that's not how to treat people.

the place is very unhygienic. you can see toothpicks, cottonbuds, chewing gum etc on the floor
the gym seems not to have been clean for a long time

The Sheffield South branch of JD gyms is spacious, with good lighting, great speakers and music, air conditioned and has duplicates of weight machines and benches, helping to ensure everyone can go at their own pace when exercising without disrupting others. However, weights on the dumbbell racks seemed to be frequently unorganised, many of which seem to be missing. In some cases I have had to spend a few minutes looking for the right set. For example, when looking for the 16 KG and the 18 KG, one pair was near the smaller weights, another near the heavier weights. This has happened on a few occasions. This could easily be resolved by having more PT’s/Staff available on the floor, ensuring equipment is maintained properly. Another example could be that several ropes/handles could be added to the cable areas of the gym, some of which have seen better days, and some handles may have been stolen. On a lighter note, the gym offers good facilities for a variety of training requirements, ranging from callisthenics to more aerobic and endurance based training. The changing rooms are generally very clean and spacious also.

It’s got a good atmosphere .plenty of equipment

Okay gym. The machines are old and need an update. Please JD get your wallet out and upgrade the equipment.

It's big and spacious, easy to get into but it was very hard to find weight as the facility itself was very messy.

The women's only space was very small and had weight strewn across it but the mix of equipment was good. However, one of the machines was broken but had nothing on it to indicate it was broken.

As a newbie it was hard to navigate the space in general, would be nice to have a map on the website stating the equipment there or at least the division of spaces to make it more welcoming.

Shocking to be honest, a lot of the equipment is outdated specifically the cardio orientated ones. Not enough back machine’s and chest flight is alway’s occupied so you could do with more of them. Lastly, my jacket got robbed from the changing room, this was my first time using the changing room. Sure i did not use a lock however, i’ve never experienced that in all my time going gym and just and it happens first time using yours. The staff told me it happens every day and you guys have not put down any procedures to prevent it. You can make the gym look aesthetic but it’s just a mask lol.

I have been trying to phone the gym's number at different times of the day for two weeks, e-mailed them twice, & never got an answer!

1- The Ladies-only gym has only two treadmills, one of them is not working! I've been there several times so far & couldn't get on the working treadmill because it was occupied.
2- As I was training in the Ladies-only gym, a male cleaner entered the gym unannounced, & when I asked him why he comes in without announcing himself to a "Ladies Only" area he told me "It's not a ladies gym based on religious beliefs" although I haven't brought up religion in my question, but he assumed this because I had a hijab on. I don't think any segregated area should have people from the other sex entering without permission except for emergencies.
3- I have asked other women who are regular gym goers & they told me that's not normal, & that male cleaners usually announce themselves before entering the area.

It's just horrendous that you can never get a hold of anyone to talk to in the gym, no one answers the phone, no one answers e-mails, no one opens the door when I knock on the door where the staff sits. It's one of the worst gym experiences I've ever had.

I have been once and I have asked to cancel my membership already. The equipment is really old and used compared to gyms around it at the same price point, the car park doesn't feel safe at night, such a shame as I have used JD gyms at other sites before and they have been great! Update your equipment, it seems to be a consistent review!!

Wicked gym the manager Adam is very helpful ☆☆☆☆☆

Love that they more stuff I can use from my last gym

Far too many people in that’s why I only got too car park and cancelled my membership

Third gym this year due to rubbish previous gyms locally. So happy with JD. Clean, massive,everything you need and lovely staff :)

Joined gym & told email would be received with information about membership, 4 days later,still nothing,had my money for 4 days & can't use gym

Sheffield south, a poor site!

Changing rooms littered and dirty, more broken than working lockers,
Equipment worn out/ damaged but all in service.... the cardio bike I used, the peddles kept slipping!
Grips on most machines are missing or torn, loose weights all over the place.... nothing where it should live

Good range of equipment, accessible day and night. Early mornings the gym is untidy with equipment (weights) being left all over by customers. Some of the equipment is showing its age (e.g.handgrips)

Gym is but but so lees equipment basically only 1 machine for a designated excersise compare to otyer gyms which have 2 to 3 like pounds forge all they should do is add more machines so when its busy people can still use a certein machine other than that its good

Been a member for some time now and it was great a few years back - equipment in good condition, staff tidying/cleaning - not too messy and an upgrade over the xercise4less. They made it 24/7 some time back which was another bonus.

HOWEVER... it is not what it used to be. So many lockers smashed in/not working, sinks often have no soap, no one ever tidying up kit is all over the place- theve recently got some new kit but not bothered to fix some of the current kit that is in serious need of maintenance - rust/lose pins. Getting a workout done in the freeweigjts area is close to impossible like a maze walking around all the scattered dumbbells everywhere. Basic things also neglected, no cleaning stations, members aloweed to tamper with lighting/sound systems and Rollerblade around the gym,, such as shame because the gym used to be brilliant but gone downhill pretty fast..
