JD Gyms Middleton

Positive experience: Everything is good friendly gym ,, but sometimes have problems for car park

Fantastic experience: A very well equipped, clean and maintained gym with a wide range of equipment for every type of activity. Great value for the money if you just want a gym to use and know what you're doing!... Don't know about the trainers etc as haven't had any interactions with them but the staff all seem friendly enough. It's a thumbs up from me for being one of the better gyms that I've used over the years!

Negative experience: Good amount of gym equipment. However, the spin classes are poor / pretty boring now the instructors dont do it to the beat. It's pretty boring sprinting to a slower track or climbing to a faster pace song. Numbers have dropped, and spin is only 30 minutes, which results in no vibe.

Fantastic experience: Okay

Fantastic experience: Easy to find and choose with plenty of equipment and helpful staff

Positive experience: Good gym brilliant staff just need money spending in there

Positive experience: Great gym fab equipment. Great fitness instructors.

Negative experience: Why you shouldn't join in JD gym? When you signed up for JD Gym, these points were not highlighted. After doing long conversation with JD Gym I come up with this. The 14-day cancellation policy implies that once you visit the gym or exceed the 14-day period, you forfeit the right to cancel. JD gym says this is cooling period. Additionally, you must provide 30 days' notice to cancel your membership. If you fail to do so, the next billing amount will be deducted, even if you've already raised a cancellation request, and this amount will not be refundable. Do not use JD gym for short terms. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Ideal gym for me, with 24hr access. I pay £24.99 to access all gyms but is cheaper to stay at a fixed gym

Positive experience: Great location, huge gym, kept clean by the cleaners. Needs new equipment, all machines are the same ones from exercise4less before it was JD. The ceiling leak in studio and some parts on main floor.

Fantastic experience: Great

Negative experience: Never been in a gym in my life, Google lies

Positive experience: lower the damn music gosh

Fantastic experience: Nice haircut and friendly

Positive experience: Great gym. Absolutely huge. Always a place to work out. Friendly staff lots of great machines to use. Ladies only section. Various classes and good opening hours. Shower facilities in changing rooms but Iv never used them.

Negative experience: no internet collection at all .

Negative experience: Didn't like this gym at all defo for younger people all the trainers are young kids

Positive experience: Just your regular gym experience I believe.

Fantastic experience: Good clean gym with everything you need for a great workout. Whether body building, cardio building or just trying to lose weight. Really clean and nice staff.

Fantastic experience: This gym is great !! Amazing members of staff always ready to help and guide you. Changing room is constantly being cleaned by the cleaner. Feeling safe and happy in this gym .

Fantastic experience: Good gym

Negative experience: This gym is not the best, personally wouldn't use it again.

Negative experience: Really dirty

Negative experience: Good equipment and nice building but it looks like it’s been run right down by lack of management. Completely unusable WiFi and also in a signal black spot. Have to get staff to let you into gym because if this and not able to use your phone to play music. Blown out speakers pumping crackly music and changing rooms that constantly smell. Basic hygiene measures removed. No hand sanitiser or blue roll on the site. Machines are always sticky with no way of cleaning them…. Gross Staff have said this was done to save cost.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym is quieter than bury / Rochdale lots of regular people there shows that they like it too.Great atmosphere & Staff. Just had new glute machines put in fantastic.

Fantastic experience: There is a new manager who has taken over. This young lady is upgrading a lot of the equipment. A great leader leading a great team. It's a really good vibe and a great experience.

Positive experience: I’d say everything is okay, but the toilets in the lockers are most of the time dirty and smelly. And it would be so good, if the flush buttons in the toilets, could be replaced on contactless (like sensor move)

Fantastic experience: Good local branch

Negative experience: In the room at the back, the ceiling is falling, I mean it. I was doing my workout and pieces of cement and paint fell from the ceiling. Check the video how the ceiling looks. The toilets are horrible, the flush button many times didn't work and those lockers are a joke. £23 for this? It's a shame!

Positive experience: Not bad at all. I tend to go in the early mornings or around noon so I haven’t experienced it being super packed as other commenters have said. Really good variety of machinery and lots of weight stands, racks, and benches available. Some of the equipment is a bit old but hey, I’m not expecting the latest & greatest, especially not at this price point.

Positive experience: This gym is great, love the fact it has heavy bags and a woman’s only section. Just wish it had saunas like the other jd gyms. Don’t want to drive out my way to just get a sauna.

Fantastic experience: Needs to cater for other than bodybuilders. More classes for the women members...Pool aerobics Pallates Zumba etc etc..Come on JD Gyms.All other gyms in this group have the above classes...

Positive experience: Lower class of all JD Gyms, no sauna, not enough equipment, especially for legs and very dark atmosphere. After finishing a set, i feel like passing out, no natural night and bright lights in your face. Lastly, not even 24 hours like the rest of JD gyms… Update: looks like they’ve brought in new leg equipment, great to see!

Positive experience: A wonderful spacious hall. But in the evening it's incredibly busy, sometimes you can't do all the training you plan, you do 70%, the other 30 are so-so. The worst thing is that when you come, it's almost impossible to scan the QR code, or you wait for someone from the staff, or you wait forever to be contacted the gym is clean✅️

Fantastic experience: Great gym in Middleton.Great range of equipment and big spaces to stretch out in.Above all is the staff, it's the staff at the gym that make the gym what it is

Positive experience: Well!not been here but from the picture looks it seems quite an interesting place.

Positive experience: Overall clean and tidy gym, but to get in you need QR code and there is no network at all plus JD WiFi is just a joke, this problem it's old story.

Fantastic experience: So far I'm enjoying this gym, good choice of equipment and clean however could use with more sets of dumbbells in the free weight section. Also are there any plans with this gym becoming a 24/7 gym or opening a bit earlier? Would love that!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant

Fantastic experience: Clean gym overall and has a good vibe and music. Went only for a day as a friend invited me. Loved the free weights area.

Positive experience: No sauna :(

Positive experience: Music gets extremely loud about 2 hours before close. Can’t even hear what my friend is saying to me when we’re near the squat racks.

Negative experience: If you want to do muscle training between 5 to 7pm on weekdays don't bother. It is a good gym, with a decent price, with good space and an extensive range of machines, but it is absolutely impossible to do what you want on peak time during a weekday, as there is a staggering number of people. Clientele also lacks basic gym etiquette, also this can't be blamed on the gym obviously. I've given it a full week and I'm already done with it, way too frustrating to try to get a work out in, although I reckon if you only want to do cardio you should be fine as there is normally always something available, but even this is not granted in my experience. Overall a big shame as I was very excited for this gym as it is very spacious and offers a good range of machines and equipment, but I simply can't recommend this at all for anyone who is limited to peak hours like me. I only paid a tenner for the whole month and it still was too much, I'll probably not return even once more the rest of my subscription and just enroll in a different gym.

Negative experience: Not for me

Positive experience: If you walk in to the gym a lot of peoples phone networks become very weak and using the wifi there is rubbish so it’s difficult to get the QR code on your phone to scan in. If you observe the front of the gym you’ll see groups of people looking at their mobile phones praying the phone connects. The JD WIFI? Awful you connect and nothing happens. So to walk into the gym it takes 10 minute’s minimum. OVERALL when you get in Gym is perfect and great place to train.

Negative experience: Music is always far too loud. Currently lying in bed with tinnitus

Positive experience: I like the place however very often you can't see their staff who can help you with equipment. Not everyone knows how to change things and the tour is only the first time but so quickly. I see many people stuck using only one machine because they are afraid of the unknown.

Fantastic experience: Staff are very polite, the cleaner Steve is the greatest guy you will ever meet. Conversation was amazing you will never meet a better guy.

Negative experience: Had a 5 star review. It's one star again. Fix your machine grips. Fix your machines that wobble. Fix your loose hinges. Thank goodness your toilets are better looking and not waste smeared any further. Shoulder press machine, broken / loose since April, lat pull down no grips suitable since February, dip machine grips rotate like an Olympic bar. Stop ignoring issues, check daily. It's not good enough for a member to have a disrupted workout. It's a breach of contract. It's not good enough to allow cleaning to slide so members use a toilet full of human waste. Take some pride.

Fantastic experience: gj

Positive experience: The gym is an excellent gym with tip top equipment, I train in there due to various health issues caused in the military. Today I was informed politely, may I add, that I wasn't able in future to carry my small rucksack with me on the gym floor. I explained to the staff member that I was classed as disabled and must have my bag near by. I also explained that it was impossible for me to carry my contents of my bag and would cause more mess. His response was, if I did it everyone else would want to do it. Surely there must be some comprise if disabled. I don't expect pitty just a bit of common sense. I am on the fence now whether or not to change gyms.

Fantastic experience: Staff help, big gym, clean all the time

Fantastic experience: very nice gym, lots of equipment, clean. I wish it was open 24/7 and had a sauna

Positive experience: Unfortunately I recently cancelled my membership. The gym is OK, good equipement but unfortunately it feels way over subscribed. I was having to go later and later just so I could get a bench and get on machines to complete my workout. Unfortunately there are a lot of young lads in groups hogging machines, or stood around on their phones. When you ask if they are using the machine, they pop out a set, then stand around talking again. I get that every person be them young or old, has the right to train, but unfortunately its like a nightclub until around 8.30pm. This is probably as the gym run continuous low or zero joining fee promotions. Unfortunately staff don't do too much to police this or show younger members gym etiquette. Don't get me wrong, the staff are nice enough and willing to help if you ask, being a large corporate chain, JD will probally press the staff to push membership higher and higher.

Positive experience: Has a younger vibe than other jd’s (some one did say a fashionista’s hang out ) refreshed since x4less - busy - great atmosphere friendly - usual jD classes but heating issues sometimes too hot in summer far too cold in winter . No longer attend

Fantastic experience: You have every equipment at your disposal. Gym to your heart’s content. It’s a great place to be for fitness…….fitness just got serious

Positive experience: Meed to keep on top of some of the equipment (like the rowing machines) but overall good

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly and approachable staff. Classes are good and energetic and there is a wide range of equipment

Negative experience: Not sure if this is a gym or a nightclub anymore. Place gets so full its insane shouldnt be taking on new members when cant accommodate for the ones it already has. I have cancelled my membership

Fantastic experience: Friendly workers and spacious Got all necessary equipment and all functioning well thanks

Fantastic experience: It's very good when you can get a cours for training.?

Positive experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Decent enough Gym nothing fancy but it has what you need and it's clean

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym

Fantastic experience: Sweat it out

Positive experience: Great place , all staff were kind and helpful, fully equipped

Positive experience: It's a decent gym. But not quite up to the same standard of the other jd gyms I use. No sauna and old lockers that were no doubt inherited from exercise 4less

Positive experience: I've been at this gym since July now and have genuinely found my home here. Great staff and atmosphere. The only reason it's 3 stars not 5 is cuz the temperature in the gym is always kept super low. I struggle with my circulation and having a gym permanently set to 10C is a bad idea cuz you risk injury if you can't warm up properly.

Positive experience: Love it, great place to rock up and train hard

Positive experience: Decent gym

Fantastic experience: Nice situation and full equipment

Negative experience: Average gym, I was a member of Exercise4less before it changed to ‘JD. Equipment has been moved around and it’s been painted. I don’t see how this is worth double the price of Exercise4Less which was £9.99… JD is £19.99…Before it opened they said it would be ‘state of the art’ with Saunas etc… nothing like the budget Exercise4Less… it’s no different apart from a pain job… 2 stars for fake advertising and saying it’s going to be nothing like it and if that’s what I’m used to then I should stay with the ‘budget’ lol It’s the same! Definitely NOT worth double the price… Also, before they took it over, the cleaners were cleaning machines constantly, I’ve yet to see a cleaner when I’ve been, and you’d think they’d be there more with this covid situation.

Positive experience: Great range of kit and weights. Class instrustors friendly and they are good classes better than the gym i went before. But sometimes i feel some of the staff are unprofessional -sitting on top of the reception as you come into the gym. Its not really what you want to see as you come into the gym not a very good 1st impression.

Negative experience: Every times is cold , last week opened with 1 hour late, bad wifi , every time disconnecting

Fantastic experience: Not a member but had a look around looks like they have all the suff you need to keep healthy and build muscle

Fantastic experience: Good gym

Positive experience: Its a gym, not amazing in any regard.

Negative experience: Full of gym bunnies, give me a break!

Positive experience: Gym and staff is great, I’ve been a member since first open as Xercise4Less. The best thing about new gym is yoga classes included in membership. Unfortunately compared to other JD gyms, Middleton one does not have Sauna, and it’s not 24h, but we still pay the same amount for a membership. Quite disappointing. Sauna has beed promised when they’ve reopened, but still no signs of it. On top of that… way too loud music….

Positive experience: Good equipment, friendly staff

Positive experience: It's ok

Positive experience: This is a decent enough gym for a good price. They have a good range of equipment, from bikes, running, rowing and step machines, to free weights and bars. It's usually very busy 5-7pm weekdays. I find the best time is weekends around 1pm. I only wish there was more natural light inside, and they had more than two flat bench presses.

Positive experience: This is in my place of work

Fantastic experience: Good frequent class's enormous variation of equipment and a nice atmosphere

Fantastic experience: A quality gym. There we can find all kinds of training aid equipment. A fantastic place with a great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff all the equipment that you need and can just get on with your own routine or get help from the personal trainers

Positive experience: Facilities are great but very over subscribed.

Fantastic experience: Good gym. Would be better if they closed at 11pm

Positive experience: A lot better Since it got taken over by JD gyms equipment kept In better working order Which was a big problem in the past

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and a good place Can be busy at times.

Fantastic experience: Great place

Positive experience: Lots of space to get on and work plenty of equipment. showers basic lockers basic staff really helpful.

Fantastic experience: Just started here and its a really good gym

Fantastic experience: Decent amount of kit and loads of space

Fantastic experience: Got all the machines and gear you need with nice styling. Only downsides are it can get quite busy in the afternoon and most of the weights aren't where theyre meant to be but thats no fault of the gym.

Negative experience: Do not give this gym your bank details, they will fraudulently set up direct debts. FACT. Do not do it. They dont follow the contractual terms. Really shocked that a company this size would, but they did!

Fantastic experience: I'm genuinely not a gym person and was EXTREMELY apprehensive about joining but staff have been polite and helpful and after only a week of attending I feel comfortable being there. THANKS GUYS!!!

Positive experience: Good gym.

Fantastic experience: Top gym

Fantastic experience: Not too packed equipment clean plenty of sanitizing stations just a shame some people can't be bothered using them
