Our comment from FitFit UK about Simply Gym Llansamlet:

Simply Gym Llansamlet, located in Swansea, offers a spacious and well-equipped facility that caters to a diverse clientele. Users particularly appreciate the large variety of machines and the friendly, knowledgeable staff ready to assist with workout routines and advice. The gym is praised for its cleanliness, especially in the women-only section which many members find appealing.

Despite some recent criticisms following its takeover by JD Gyms, where users noted an increase in monthly fees and a decline in certain facilities like the sauna, the gym remains highly valued for its atmosphere and overall quality. Many members highlight the excellent classes and personal training services available, which make workouts both enjoyable and effective.

Peak times can see the gym crowded, particularly from 16:00 to 19:00, but users find that there is generally enough equipment to work around busy periods. Some visitors noted issues with music volume and cleanliness on occasion, particularly regarding maintenance of certain machines and cleaning protocols. However, the overall sentiment is very positive, with many users expressing satisfaction and a desire to continue their membership.

Key Highlights:

  • Spacious and well-equipped gym

Simply Gym Llansamlet: Opinions

4.3/5 (134 Opinions)
Paul Williams 1 year ago

Negative experience: Now taken over by JD Gyms and already gone down hill, as well as a £10 increase in the monthly charge.

Belecan Regina 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First time went to the gym, the staff was very helpful, a member of staff walked me around with tips for my workouts, and how to build a routine. I was very scared first because I have never went to gym before, but I had a very positive experience today witch built my confident, and left the gym with a smile. I can't wait to go back. Also love the women only gym.

Katie 1 year ago

Positive experience: Good equipment, rammed between 16:00-19:00 but that’s the same for any gym I’ve been to. Biggest downside for me is how loud the music can get sometimes & the opening hours on weekends.

Andy Manx 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Plenty of equipment here, can get a little busy around peak times though (5pm to 7pm) as with any other gym when people hit it straight from their 9 till 5 jobs, plenty of staff on hand to help when needed too

Michelle 1 year ago

Positive experience: I enjoyed this gym, but i have now left due to music being so loud, I couldn't hear my own music or podcasts.

Positive experience: Plan to join reviews are good

Rachel Noble 1 year ago

Positive experience: Ladies gym and changing rooms are absolutely immaculate and smell good. However, since JD Gyms have taken over the sauna isn't warm anymore, which renders it a bit pointless.. One of the benches in the sauna is loose, and it's full of splinters. Repairs aren't being done, the bins have halfed in size, and there is a bit of a shortage of cleaning fluid and people actually cleaning the machines. I've had more than one sticky machine handle this week, and weights are being left everywhere.

ewa labuda 1 year ago

Positive experience: Good gym. I would definitely avoid busy times though especially if u want to use the women's only section. I love that they thought of that but they could make the space more bigger.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Quality equipment, sauna & great on price!

Ant Hobbs 2 years ago

Negative experience: Big and reasonably priced. Downsides - often really busy, very noisy and the equipment (especially cardio) is a bit hit and miss from a maintenance and operation point of view. Too often a frustrating place to visit

Sara Al.Mohammed 2 years ago

Positive experience: I had a fantastic first day at the gym! The atmosphere was great, and there was plenty of equipment available, so I didn't have to wait. The staff, especially Emma, were incredibly helpful. The ladies-only area was a definite plus. However, the only downside was that some of the equipment seemed dusty and unclean. Overall, it was a positive experience.

William Davies 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train apart from a gay guy called Lewis harassing me .

Oleksii Kuznietsov 2 years ago

Positive experience: Got a bit worse in details since becoming a part of JD - no paper towels anymore, dirt and dust just brushed to a wall/under a bench/under a machine instead of a proper vacuuming. That aside, still a great value gym.

Negative experience: Don't like visitors avoid.

Silviya Stefanova 2 years ago

Negative experience: I have been a member since January 2022. Broken pieces are still broken. Dirty….very dirty. Dust everywhere, than you can see it has been building up for months, probably since it was open. Otherwise i used to like the gym. Friendly staff, it has a lot of machines but they really need to clean properly at least once a week considering this is a place when people workout hygiene is very important. I gave my notice and will change the gym soon

Carl Pavey 2 years ago

stockdama 2 years ago

Negative experience: Tried to sign up for a membership on their webpage, their payment system had a hiccup where it charged me the sign up fee and for the first month, but didn't start my membership. Tried mailing them about the issue, got a bit annoyed and wanted to just cancel the whole thing after back and forth for about a month. Still haven't gotten my money back.

Megaloryan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of the gym intermittently for some years and it hasn't let me down, the facilities are good, the staff are friendly and helpful, they've got a good array of equipment. In addition, although I believe they operate through Harlands (I think most know of the trouble in cancellation), when time came for membership cancellation they did indeed terminate the outgoings...which is more than what might be said of some other gyms I've used. Well done.

Negative experience: Shocking - never answer the phone for some enquires. Says a lot about the staff

Mark Cabrera 3 years ago

Negative experience: Gym was great, spacious & a lot of facilities. The glaring issue is trying to cancel. As it’s being handled by another company, trying to cancel your membership is a big pain, to the point of not being worth it. I’m definitely not going back after my experience, but for those who plan to stay this place is good

Kathryn Murray 4 years ago

Positive experience: Visiting for a while and decided to try out the gym. Standard busy times 4 PM to 8:30 PM, however the classes are still pretty accessible. The gym has plenty to offer with a full CV, weights range, resistance machines and cross training area. In addition, there is a female only gym and Cross training area too. The team are very friendly, if you need any help they will find the time (wherever possible) or book you in to learn how to get the most out of the Cycle studio for example. I like going to this gym as there aren't too many selfie Kings & Queens and I have met a few like minded people that have a similar workout schedule. Following their social media platforms, I have found out there's a sauna in the individual changing rooms and various types of fitness assessments included in your fee.

mark boundford 4 years ago

Negative experience: Was ok facility's but always found it over crowded, I had coved-19 and wanted to cancel my membership, I found this really hard as you can cancel it with the gym. You need to contact another company I spent an hour waiting for someone to pick up, when they finally did I got cut off. Called back and after another hour waiting someone finally answered and cancelled my membership. Their are a lot of gyms in the area and next time I will be giving this one a miss.

sarah stewart 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very spacious, loads of equipment so you're never waiting. Has a really good female section with a sauna. The classes are a killer but totally worth it and you can go at your own pace, there really is no judgement there. Music is pumping as soon as you enter so really gets your energy going. Has lockers available, bring your own locks if you want to secure your items. Has scales to weigh yourself and vending machines for helathy snacks and drinks. Although the carpark looks busy, l have never had an issue finding a space. Max 4 hours at this carpark.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for a few years now and it's really stepped up. Majority of the time there's enough equipment for everyone. Obviously there are going to be times when you are just going to have to switch it up and either do a slightly different exercise or just do it a different way. I used to get super frustrated with this when I first started at the gym in 2015/2016 (see example below) but when they moved the the bigger site this became much less of an issue. I don't know many places that have more than 12 power racks. Honestly the best gym I've been to in my area - lots of different people at different experience levels. I also really enjoy the off grid room for warm downs and cardio. The only issue I ever had really was when I was going to re-sign up last year, there were no staff members available at the front desk to speak to (I qualified for no sign up fees but would need to show ID to get these), no matter how long I waited after pressing the call button several times. They need to make sure there is always someone at the desk or on hand to go back to it if the call button is pressed. (See above) For example, I just finished incline bench and all the flat benches were taken up so I could either use one of the power racks and set up for a floor press, use dumbells and do a dumbell press or use one of the machines.

Kazi2812 4 years ago

Positive experience: Great gym. Would be a 5 if you tighten up and actually enforce your mask rules though! The gym inside is massive, machines of all types and lots of them. Plenty of running, steps, rowing, and cycling machines. If you like free weights, there's a silly amount of weights and benches of all types to choose from. A big step up from my previous gym and the booking system keeps the numbers down. All in all, well worth a sign up!

The members are friendly and also helpful to newcomers as well. Looking forward to my next visit. Morlais 10/10 My visit today was a pleasurable one at 86years of age. Advised by the staff to continue the exercises I enjoy, doing 20 minutes on three machines, the cycle machine, the rowing machine and the treadmill. Looking forward to my next visit .

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for a year now. The classes are particularly good compared to other gyms, with friendly informative instructors. Also the equipment is second to none, it's new, excellent quality and constantly being replaced. It's handy being able to go to Llansamlet or gorseinon too, as I use both, which allows for more flexibility in my training, so I end up going more. Love this gym.
