Good gym, room for improvement.
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.
