JD Gyms - Salford Avis 

The bathroom smelled of urine and was unkept, I am hoping my second visit will be better.

Pros:
- size of the gym
- friendly staff
- range of equipment/machines
- classes included

Cons:
- dirty and messy, frequently see weights not put back, empty water bottles and food packets around, sometimes used gum and nicotine pouches are left on equipment - this is due to a domino effect from others thinking that the staff can clean up after them
- the pipes in the changing rooms/bathrooms have an odour

Overall, it has lots of potential but I think they need more support from the company to maintain the cleanliness. Members who are caught contributing to leaving mess/not putting equipment back should get a warning or a ban because it is being treated like a dumping ground.

It is also due a refurbishment to match the standard of the JD gym in town.

The women’s changing room and the gym areas are very dirty. I can’t find anything I’m looking for because everything is so messy — the equipment needs to have designated places.

Quality gym loads of good equipment and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

hopefully it dies down after the usual january rush for health (but i'm not holding my breath as demand for gyms is skyrocketing) but it's too busy at the moment, even during the "quieter times."

other than that, it's pretty good, well equipped, good facilities.

would be useful to have a feature in the app that tracks and tells you how busy the gym currently is so you can wait to go at a better time when it's not so busy.

waiting around for free equipment isn't great, especially considering that's why i switched gyms in the first place

The gym is very well equipped. However, it's constantly busy. Even during the "quiet times" it's so busy I need to wait for the equipment to become free

Hi, I just move from manchester JD gym to saldford. The bad thing is that the lady shower room is too smelly ,can you make sure clean it probably.

I like everything, except for the WiFi that has no bandwidth at all. I need it to run my training app. That’s a shame.

The app is so bad to use!
And the gym in Manchester is so darty

The gym is a bit crowded and always busy, which makes it hard to find available equipment at times. While the facility itself is good, the constant rush can be inconvenient if you prefer a quieter workout environment. Overall, it’s suitable for those who don’t mind the crowds, but not ideal if you’re looking for more space and flexibility.

Friendly staff and useful equipment...very organised and professional user...I have great experience with everything in gym...moving forward 😀

The equipment is really worn out and many weight options on cable machines are broken and can’t be selected.

Some of the ropes and other clip on handles are in awful condition.
The dumbbell rack is a mess.
The cardio area is good if all you want to do is cardio.
The gym is packed most of the time.

I cancelled my PureGym to join JD cause it is closer to my place , but regretting the decision. Since I joined as a member , my QR code has not been granting me access to the gym ! No proper customer service to attend to you ! I sent a mail to complain , I was told to wait for 10days

It’s really sad that yoga has been cut down to one class a week because of the ongoing bullying that’s been happening for a year now to the yoga instructor

Old and poorly maintained equipment. Always busy and not enough equipment to support the number of people that attend

Not enough weights, also fir a big gym space you should have 2 of each machines and weighted benches

Jd Gyms is hands down one of the worst gyms I’ve ever used. The customer service is terrible you cannot get through on the phone lines no matter how long you wait. I’ve tried multiple times, sitting on hold for over an hour, and still never got through to anyone.
The gyms themselves are absolutely filthy. Sanitation clearly isn’t a priority there are no spray bottles, no disinfectant, and not even tissue rolls to clean down equipment. The staff are unhelpful and don’t seem to care about the state of the place.
Weights are left scattered everywhere because nobody puts them back, and staff don’t bother to sort it out. The Smith machine bench constantly gets moved across the gym, which is both unsafe and annoying.
Overall, the place feels chaotic, dirty, and completely mismanaged. If you’re considering joining, I’d recommend looking elsewhere, terrible customer service, filthy environment, and zero organisation.

Very old and worn machines. Thread bare ropes that could do with an update considering the amount of people using them. Can never find staff members.
