JD Gyms Rochdale

Positive experience: Not impressed when people "hog" some of the machines and then take their time sitting on the machines while watching YouTube!

Negative experience: its a good gym with good staff and good equipment but i joined because its 24hr..because i only have time at night..but i cannot use showers and sauna because it gets shut at 8.00 and you cannot even change clothes..and i pay same amount of money as people who can come before 8..which is not fair for this reason i am out

Negative experience: Used to be good now weights all over the place machines always broke take to long to get fixed plastic pads on a lot of the machines worn out and got cracks in them making it uncomfortable to use and membership is going up again time to look elsewhere I think

Negative experience: Jd gym Rochdale just gets worse some Machines have been broken for over 5 weeks that i know of today there’s was a guy throwing weights down not just dropping them and when i just mentioned it to a staff member at the gym there replied I don’t give a shit go join pure gym if you don’t like it

Negative experience: I only come for the Les Mills classes and live central between the 3 JD gyms. It takes me an hour to get to each on public transport. The classes have been cancelled so many times and the app hasn't been updated so I have travelled for no reason and missed an opportunity to go elsewhere. I appreciate people can't help having to cancel and the gym so try and put something else on instead but it's not what I pay the membership for.

Positive experience:

Fantastic experience: Less ventilation

Fantastic experience: Great place, great equipment.

Negative experience: Went to gym last night for a quick session, by the time I finished my session it was around 10:15pm. Changing room was locked. There wasn’t any staff available that time, had to leave my belongings behind. When I went to collect my belongings today they gave it back but they snapped my pad lock. Very disappointed. I’m gonna cancel my membership

Fantastic experience: Good for health good Environment

Negative experience: large, good gym layout, 24/7 too now, but why oh why is the music always so so insanely loud? even at 2am? even with anc headphones on? they've been told before but it's like company policy or something, obstinacy is maybe Hollister-esque tactics to keep older people away? which is fine, but cheap perfume is a lot less damaging to your long term health than hearing loss. next gen of gym rats will all need hearing aids at 30, well done, JD?

Fantastic experience: Very nice. All what you need to get in shape

Negative experience: Cancelled the membership 2 weeks prior to the payment date but still got charged

Negative experience: Been going for two years, will be looking for a new gym now. Pros: Modern equipment everywhere and covers everything. Staff are also very nice and helpful plus cheap membership. Cons: Very busy during peak time. Very hard to find any available machine (good luck getting the smith machine). Members aren't very respectful. Constantly leaving weights everywhere or putting them back in awkward places (putting 25kg weights in front of 5kg weights). Twice now I've had somebody take the weights I was using during a workout. I was nice about it but they weren't. Slamming the cable machine weights as well frequently means sometimes they are out of service. Halifax JD gym is better. They will suspend members that aren't respectful (such as not putting the weights back).

Positive experience: Decent gym, some of the kit needs some tlc but overall good standard

Fantastic experience: Great work out

Positive experience: Never been here.

Positive experience: Went today for the first time gym is really nice. Loads of room and good equipment. Showers smelt really bad and the male cleaner came in 3 times while I was showering and changing. I'd asked him to give me 10 mins but he still came back 3 times.

Fantastic experience: Joined this gym online a few days ago and sent them an email regarding organising an induction as I'm new to to the whole gym era. I was a member of another gym years ago and unfortunately had a bad time due to asking for help from trainers so I didn't injure my back/spine as iv got a spinal condition and i ended up being laughed at and mocked by the trainer. So it's took me a long time to join another gym. After emailing this gym and speaking to the manager Gareth he organised a gym induction for me with PT Aaliyah. She was amazing and incredibly nice. She answered all my questions, showed me around the whole gym, showed me how to use a few machines & equipment and let me have a go myself and helped me with my technique. I explained I was also autistic and very anxious and she put me at ease straight away. She was so nice and welcoming. I just wanted to give her a shout out and a thankyou. As I'm using an online PT she explained once my plans had been given to me if i needed any more help with machines or anything at all that all I had to do was ask and they would be happy enough to help me out. I now don't feel as anxious to attend a gym and look forward to my experience at JD Gyms. The gym it's self looked really good. Plenty of machines and equipment to use. All looked very clean and tidy. Found the atmosphere really good to and wasn't too overwhelming or busy if you go between mid morning - mid afternoon.

Positive experience: Good equipment and atmosphere. Aside from that I have never seen the machines wiped down or cleaned. They should put cleaning stations around the gym so we can spray machines clean for use.

Positive experience: Great

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean atmosphere

Positive experience: Okay

Negative experience: Laura the manager is very rude, thinks she owns the gym, she really needs to remember her place in this world outside of the gym. She has put me of going to this particular gym so i have changed my membership to JD gyms in bury. She really needs to work on the way she speaks to people and be more understanding.

Fantastic experience: Love it

Positive experience: I have just visited the gym and the ambiance was outstanding and the behaviour of the team was also admiring.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym but machinery and Dumbell are old

Fantastic experience: The gym is fabulous,staff always ready to help machines are working well.best gym in Rochdale community

Fantastic experience: Busier than my old gym but not overly busy to the point you feel overwhelmed. As someone who has gym anxiety I'm really happy to do my workouts here

Positive experience: Lot of machines, pump stations and steel weight

Fantastic experience: Zakupy super jakość i względna cena

Fantastic experience: Laura makes the gym a very desirable place to train.

Negative experience: You can’t leave these guys a bad review they get it deleted from google, they dont like owning up, Laura needs sacking, she’s a rude and cruel individual, she’s terminated a lot of members, including my contract! No wonder the gym is full off little kids and is a mess she’s the downfall of jd gyms, she was never liked at dw fitness in Oldham either, Iv been at this gym since 2016, Laura calls me starts getting rude and shouting saying why did you leave a comment about me on Facebook last year” you don’t know what I’m about and what I do” then Laura terminated my contract for no apparent reason, absolute joke! Who even runs these gyms? They need to take a closer look at what’s happening, I know a lot of people that won’t be joining until they get rid of Laura, it’s a shame really since she’s come its hit rock bottom.

Negative experience: Gym is ok but the shower water is always cold u can't take a shower.

Negative experience: Yet again another Jd with a broken sauna. No visibility on when it was broken or when it’ll be fixed. Great range of equipment and considering it was a Monday no waiting for anything but lack of sauna and no real showers lets it down (they use some weird spray mechanism, like you’re a dog after a muddy walk). Shame Amended after response from JD: it wasn’t working this morning and had a sign on the door ‍♂️

Fantastic experience: I stopped coming to this gym about 1 year ago because it got too cramped and the equipment was getting old. I joined again recently and was amazed to see the renovation. Brilliant gym and staff. I would like to request to increase the timings, perhaps even make it 24 hours, that would just be perfect.

Positive experience: The gym overall is good but showers are disappointing

Fantastic experience: It's cheap and has got a wide array of equipment

Fantastic experience: Good

Fantastic experience: One the original JD gyms to open. As such it was set up to succeed. Ladies only section- Small but equipped. Free-weight section so large it takes up its own story floor. Recent investment with a an elekio rig adds to its appeal and functionality. Many a great trainer here. Nick Broomhead and Tim. General Manager Laura firm and fair running a tight ship up holding gym etiquette.

Fantastic experience: This is my first time joining a gym, I mainly joined for the classes as there were so many to choose from even with varying hours at work I can always attend at least one to two a week. I booked an induction to learn how to use the equipment and the PT (Alex Thompson) was wonderful, he put me right at ease and asked me what I wanted to achieve. We worked out that I need to improve my overall stamina and fitness and then we can look at introducing more things. The equipment he showed me is perfect for helping me get started and build a strong base for further improvements. I'm now confident attending classes or going to use the equipment on my own and I'm really enjoying the gym. The atmosphere is relaxed & friendly, the staff are always happy to help. The sauna is a welcome way to relax after a strenuous workout. The lockers are really good sized so there's plenty of space to store things and the changing rooms, toilets & showers are kept clean. The only thing that I'd like to see (very minor improvement) would be for a bench/seat to be in the shower cubicle as I like to get changed straight after my shower instead of walking back to the changing area ...but putting shoes or socks on standing always knocks me off balance Mia the Zumba instructor is incredible! So full of excitement and her energy is contagious! The gym has recently gone to 24hr opening which has meant the evening rush has slowed so it's much more enjoyable after work now

Fantastic experience: Before the refurbishment was a brilliant gym. Now it's even better!! Not sure what it's like during peak times but off peak times has been a great experience in the gym!

Positive experience: Overall gym is very nice but having hot water ..they should arrange some cold shower for hair washing

Positive experience: Call me when cable machines are free

Negative experience: Cleanliness is a myth at this place. No blue roll or spray to wipe down machines after use. Covered in sweat and smells awful. Bring back the blue roll and spray so I can clean before and after I use the machines and equipment. No idea why they got rid of it in the first place.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to JD Gym in Rochdale for over a year now and their recent renovation is spectacular. From a fresh modern interior, to the brand new equipment - JD have a created the perfect environment for people to achieve their goals. The women’s section in this gym is also second to none, with an impressive range of strength training and cardio machines. The staff at the gym place professionalism at the heart of what they do. In particular, one of the PTs, Alex Thompson, is very approachable and always happy to offer a high level of knowledge to gym users about fitness. The gym itself and the staff have created a positive environment for people to make progress, mentally and physically. I would highly recommend JD Gym in Rochdale.

Fantastic experience: Good gym, very busy Would be better if they opened earlier e.g. 4am

Positive experience: Ok

Fantastic experience: Recently joined the gym after 5 years at a different Rochdale gym, but was struggling to operate some of the machines. Luckily after asking for advice, Charlotte offered to take me round and match the machines and exercises to my old routine. She spent around 40 minutes-free of charge- showing me how machines worked and which would suit me. Now I’ve got more confidence to work our regularly. Thanks again Charlotte!

Negative experience: The gym was atrocious with the treadmill being broken and the sauna was extremely tight with only 2-3 ppl being able to fit in, and was left with back pain as it was too tight. Horrible experience and never coming back.

Negative experience: Worst gym I have ever been to

Negative experience: Half treadmills don't work. Few machines broken but wanna charge you a late direct debit fee of £15 and then won't refund you for the month cause I don't want to go to that gym anymore. Don't bother with budget gyms. Pay more for a better service. Budget gyms look to make money other ways by charging you for attempting a second direct debit. Zero customer service, willing to loose a customer that pays £20 a month for membership over £15 one off late payment fee. Pure gym rochdale sandbrook park is 24 hours free car park with free parking dont need to constantly put in reg. Facilities are also better. Will be signing up there instead. Keep the £34.99, will be needing it to fix all the broken machines.

Fantastic experience: Yes,they do have enough, and the sales going on right now are nice quality stuff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for the money and the classes with Kim instructing are amazing. The music is brilliant and her energy and laughing is infectious

Fantastic experience: Simply a handy shop to go if you need anything for your gym training..

Negative experience: The locals have ruined this place (as per usual) broken shower cubicles just the start................

Positive experience: Needs some new kit. Generally clean and tidy though.

Positive experience: Overall a good gym with a decent range of equipment, classes, and free parking. Mens changing facilities really let it down. At 07:30 today (1hr 30m after opening), there was no hand wash in both dispensers; clearly not restocked from day before. This isn’t the first occasion. The shower cubicles are poorly maintained, there’s countless shower doors that don’t close or lock. Some have no shelfs to put your essentials. Not the best showering facilities.

Fantastic experience: Loads of equipment. Great place.

Fantastic experience: Great experience, clean and professional organized

Positive experience: Good place to start wide variety of machines but doesn't have everything. Can get very busy and become difficult to get equipment

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: Very nice and clean, all the equipment are there for fitness aswell as sauna and the classes, price is pretty cheap. Well recommend

Positive experience: The gym is packed all the time , would help if this was 24 hours access like pure gym just 10 mins up the road Can’t really do the work out you have planned because everything is always taken as it is too busy

Negative experience: It feels rundown this place. The whole place is in need of some improvements.

Fantastic experience: Great gym only wish it was 24/7 Sauna and cold shower included in the price. Love it.

Positive experience: Chilled atmosphere no pressure on you from any one.

Fantastic experience: Decent price, friendly staff, good variety of group classes and you don't need to pay extra for these!

Positive experience: They gym is good, loads of equipment, some could do with a bit of tlc. It's just unfortunate that people are very untidy, not putting things back is very big problem.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Gym & Equipment... Nothing To Stop You Gaining Your Personal Fitness Goals.....

Negative experience: Never been and never will

Positive experience: Good gym, really busy at peak times

Negative experience: It started to get too busy from the start of 2023

Fantastic experience: Very good gym to workout

Fantastic experience: moved up to benching then barbell today had to ask a member of staff for a spot he really helped me told me it’s one of the highest lift he’s seen so i’ve decided to enter 2023 mr Olympia thanks JD gyms rochdale

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Rochdale period!!!

Negative experience: Disliked i

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! They have loads of machines, dumbbells, and rooms for different lessons. The space is always clean and smells nice, even in busy times you can do your exercises without waiting for someone to finish. It's the best gym in this area

Negative experience: Poor dirty

Positive experience: Great gym area Ladies section available Ask for further details

Negative experience: Good amount of gym equipment. However, the spin classes are poor / pretty boring now the Beat Spin classes have been removed.

Negative experience: Still a member of this gym, but the facilities aren't great. There's been 8 out of the 11 treadmills not working/out of order for a week now and a lot of the weight machines don't function as they should due to broken wires etc and the weight section is always always absolutely packed on the machines.

Negative experience: Day time night club for kids. Nobody knows what their doing, too busy on phones and selfies

Positive experience: I enjoy going here, it fits in with my work schedule. I mainly attend the classes and one of my favourites at the moment is JDBurn with personal trainer Wendy.

Positive experience: Excellent gym but peak times are way too busy hopefully it will become 24/7 soon.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, fabulous kit, never have to wait to get onto equipment and classes are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym the staff are awesome. Lots of equipment 5*

Positive experience: It’s ok I agree with another poster the machines do look abit tired, especially the ones downstairs. There are never enough ropes for the machines, can never find any attachments for the cable machines the handles to do a chest exercise for example. I have used other jd gyms and the quality of equipment is better. Now it’s October 2022 The gym is still the same. Last time I went maybe only a month or so ago and they have removed the seated calve machine. No idea why and not bothered to ask. Also that old man PT seems to think he owns the downstairs. All he does is train his clients on the squat rack downstairs. It’s 2023 been using this branch abit more often again. Calf machine has been replaced and that’s about it. Everything else is still the same, same equipment. Still difficult to find ropes and also the clips.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place. Staff are polite, helpful and most of all knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Recommended PT… I picked up some PT sessions with Wendy Hartley @ JD GYM Rochdale after a lengthy period of no training due to a slipped C5/6. I hadn’t trained for 4 months and put 2stone on. I was unfit, unmotivated and unfocused. All I knew was I wanted to get back to my passion of Ultra-Running. With guidance around implementing habits that saw me strengthening, stretching and working on my mobility every training session, I soon started slow, short distance running a few times a week, as well as putting in the time on the rower at the gym. Coupled with SMART PT sessions with Wendy, 2 months in and I’d lost a stone and ran my first half marathon in 9 months. 4 months in and I’d lost that other stone and ran my first 100k in almost 18months. Last month (4months after coming back from injury) I ran an 81mile Ultra trail race ~ Hardwolds 80 2021 in just under 22hrs. Because I got sensible and linked in with an amazing PT, it felt relatively easy. Bring on the BIG ones for 2022! It wasn’t just the f2f & virtual PT sessions Wendy gave me that supported my return to the Ultra-Running scene. It was also the regular motivational support to make sure I at least tracked my calorie intake and was accountable each month, set training, running and weight management goals for the month and all the additional recovery and training links to support my recovery from injury and ultra-fitness journey back on to the ultra-race scene. She’s much much more than just the PT sessions in the gym! Highly recommend Wendy from @Sirtainable (check her out in IG) for all your fitness, training and recovery needs. She’s great at both f2f & virtual, but gives soo much more! Check her out on IG @sirtainable folks. Thanks for your amazing PT’s JD Gym.

Fantastic experience: Clear off puregym by miles

Fantastic experience: Very good staff helpfully friendly. Clean and nice everything.toilets showers sona clean all the time. Machines are good and lean. Everywhere clean. I'm very happy to join jd jym in Rochdale.

Positive experience: Decent gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym atmosphere, good quality weights,bars and platforms, pt and manager ready to help and assist with advice. Since I starred gained in confidence, strength and knowledge within a excellent gym environment.

Fantastic experience: I have used this gym since it opened great gym friendly staff and very helpful

Positive experience: Started off great when it opened but unfortunately has slowly been going downhill. Machines look worn and tired, and you see more that are now out of order. At peak times it's just way too busy now. The worst thing about the gym is the closing times. 8pm on a saturday! It should be open till 12am for a least 6 days of the week.

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy the jd burn and xfit morning sessions, great trainers and a great group to work out with

Positive experience: Been training at JD gym Rochdale for a few months.. great gym. Great machines and the gym is often clean. The only downside is that non of the staff are friendly they never do smile or say hello to you. None of the staff are approachable and often walk past you without looking or saying hello. Wendy and Gabriel are great, they always smile to everyone and say hello, where as non of the other staff interact. They dont even look at you, that's the downfall. Apart from that the gym is good, big gym with great facilities. I think if it wasn't for the non welcoming staff I would recommend to family and friends, im sure many others will agree. This gym needs staff who are happy to crack a smile, are happy to engage with customers and happy to make them feel welcomed. Say hello to them, these things make a change. Its only Wendy and Gabriel that say hello to people non of the others bother. Thank you to Wendy and gabs at jd gyms.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, lots of choice for equipment and classes. Started training with PT Kaleem, I have seen great results already.
