JD Gyms Castleford

Positive experience: Decent price, let down by customers not putting disc weights away,

Fantastic experience: Having been a member of a near by (more expensive) gym for many years, i was nervous about trying a bigger chain gym, however, i have loved everything about JD! It's so clean (much more than my previous gym) there is a great range of equipment including TRX and boxing bags which i love❤️ The sauna and ladies changing rooms are always clean and tidy and the sauna is a DREAM The classes are amazing too, not over crowded and all the staff I have interacted with have been so friendly, approachable and knowledgeable - it's clear they are passionate about fitness and helping other people I would recommend this gym to anyone and for the price, you can't get better in the local area It would be a lovely added bonus to have some cleaning stations / hand sanitiser at the entrance / exit (but that's me being picky!)

Positive experience: Great value for money.

Positive experience: Not a bad place. If you go Wednesday 10:00 a.m. it's usually not too busy. It gets busy after 4:00 p.m. usually Monday to Wednesday any day after that is usually quite quiet. Quite a clean place. Stuff are always cleaning up. Always a machine free unless they're broken. Overall a good place, decent price and always parking

Negative experience: I'll be honest. It's 10/10 except one vital thing. The staff allow people to shout and make stupid noises when they hit the punch bags. The bunch bags are centre of the gym so all you can hear is "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch. Also as a combat sports person.... It's embarrassing to hear that in a family gym which is aimed at a demographic that just want a casual gym session. There seems to be no respect for other gym users and the staff never challenge it. I have on several occasions made remarks loudly around the shouting man hitting the bag saying its V rude but he just doesn't seem to realise how daft he looks and sounds. Maybe I'm wrong......... and JD Castleford is actually a pro Muay Thai fighting academy. Peace out pals

Positive experience: Great gym & really enjoy going as it’s got all the equipment I need. Only downside is the QR code entry doesn’t work sometimes and have to call for a member staff which can be annoying.

Positive experience: Hi, I think this is a great gym, and would recommend joining to anyone, however the only thing is, there is no blue roll or spray to wipe down the machine after I have used it, would there be any scope for a “Cleaning Station”

Fantastic experience: After many years of not doing a spin class I joined JD Gyms in Castleford and jumped onto the first class available with Emma on Saturday. If you can't get fit doing this session then you may as well give up. It's inline with what I've done before with a few extra moves. Add in some great music and motivation it's the ultimate calorific endurance buster! I'll be back!!!

Fantastic experience: Staff always happy and helpful during visits - gym also very clean and tidy.

Positive experience: Nice gym, great price and lots of equipment. Only problem is that a lot of the kit feels old and has seen better days.

Fantastic experience: JD Gym excels in offering a top-notch fitness experience, thanks to its excellent facilities, unwavering commitment to cleanliness and tidiness, and, most importantly, its genuinely nice staff who are always ready to help and support. For anyone looking to join a gym that feels like a community, JD Gym is a superb choice.

Fantastic experience: I just love how much room and you can get on the stuff you want and the sauna too xx

Positive experience: always busy really no matter what

Fantastic experience: Siłownia powinna mieć osobne pomieszczenie do ćwiczeń dla facetów i kobiet . Powinno więcej być maszyn do ćwiczeń

Negative experience: As someone who is anxious at the gym, this is not a good place. Its super busy most of the time meaning you have to wait around or people are waiting on you. A lot of the machines/equipment are tired or out of order and take a long time to be repaired (weeks-months). There isn’t enough of popular machines causing queuing a lot of the time. The opening times are really restrictive making it difficult for me to fit the gym into around the rest of my life. The wifi/signal is also really bad so I’ve found it impossible to use the QR code to get in and I also struggle to use my workout apps whilst in the gym.

Positive experience: Great gym, great staff, good equipment Probably not the gym itself fault (likely Xscape) but cannot give 5 stars when the closing times on a weekend are so restrictive compared to other JD Gyms

Positive experience: Fantastic gym just annoying when busy waiting for equipment but all in all great gym

Positive experience: Nice friendly gym, lots of cardio equipment, you sometimes have to wait for the weights but I guess this is normal in most gyms throughout the day, membership is good with us of other jd gyms included

Fantastic experience: Great range of equipment & the use of the sauna is a bonus!

Positive experience: Great Gym and great equipment,would definitely recommend. Bad Wi-Fi and no network coverage around gym area as downsides.

Positive experience: All the benches seats are fixed in an upright position so if you want to do flat dumbbell press for example you have to shuffle down so your not actually sat on the seat. Only gym I’ve ever been to with this! Needs sorting

Negative experience: If I could give it a zero I would. Spent most of my time taking weights off the machines, the place is a mess. Free weights just left on the floor, plates left on the floor. Does anyone actually work there?! I signed up yesterday for the £10 off and I want that money back, it’s not worth the £10 offer let alone the £21.99 normal rate. That video on the website is nothing like what the actual place is like, don’t be fooled by it.

Fantastic experience: Well run gym all the team are happy to help with any queries and is always kept very clean .

Negative experience: Very rude Female manager. Will not be going back to this JDs gym again, feel like I was being discriminated against. People using the boxing bag & also using it to kick which is a rule across all JDs gym is not allowed. Peoples tops left lying around which is a trip Hazard also gym equipment left lying near back machines. Very small JDs gym compared to other JDs gyms with half of the equipment there to use which is really disappointing for a JDs gym. No TV screen near cardio Machine. Some of the male personal trainers need to get into shape before giving other people session on how to get into shape.

Positive experience: Decent gym at an affordable monthly price. Let down by it being somewhat small compared to other JD Gyms I’ve been to and it being a bit dark and dingy in certain areas. Often very busy and hard to get on machines but worth the money.

Fantastic experience: Clean helpful

Fantastic experience: Love the gym always clean and tidy on the gym floor and in the changing rooms.

Fantastic experience: SUPERB

Fantastic experience: All good

Fantastic experience: Excellent, well presented gym with superb facilities, in a good location at a fantastic price.

Positive experience: Amazing vibe! Music could be better!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a variety of machines to use. Staff are lovely and friendly. Lots of different classes to attend too

Positive experience: Ok

Fantastic experience: Very good gym, good standards

Fantastic experience: Amazing well equipped gym with everything you need including a sauna

Fantastic experience: Value For Money. Friendly And Knowledgeable Staff. Clean And Well Maintained.. Great Atmosphere..

Fantastic experience: A big thank you to a crew member named Alex. Yesterday, after many weeks, I finally managed to settle my password change case. I would highly recommend.

Positive experience: Great gym, but disappointed in their lack of commitment towards yoga classes!

Fantastic experience: Lots of different equipment. Very good gym

Fantastic experience: I must say best gym from 5towns.

Positive experience: Basic gym, hot and sweaty

Fantastic experience: I've never really been a gym goer before, and since joining this one I'd say it's become my new religion. The staff are cool, the layout is really simple so it's easy to find what you're after. Don't be put off thinking it's only for already really fit people, there's people of all shapes and sizes which I personally found extremely comforting. Does get pretty busy, especially Mondays and Tuesdays (guess everyone's working off the weekend).

Negative experience: Reasonable price however it is often very busy and there is not enough of each type of machine to get on. You will have to wait 5/10mins some times to get on. Other times I just give up. Plus there is a terrible sewage smell in the free weights room

Positive experience: Would be more if it was 24hr.

Negative experience: Average gym, but when you compare to Doncaster and Leeds equipment looks very tired. Opening hours are also poor. Forget it if you want to come before or after work Monday to Wednesday, you’ll spend more time waiting for a machine than you will exercising. Should be open 24 hours like others. UPDATE 11/01 No improvements to equipment, treadmills constantly breaking down so had to aboandon training session as only a handful of treadmills working. Mens showers all have black mould on ceiling tiles. Most benches have rips in them. Time to find a new gym, however partner just left and JD made it impossible to cancel within a reasonable time frame so now worried will have to go through same process. Positive note PT’s are extremely friendly but it seems head office are stopping them from being able to do any improvements! Looks like JD all about making £££ but when it comes back into investing in reliable equipment to make it worthwhile for the paying members they’re not bothered

Positive experience: I've been coming to this place for years. It's changed a lot over that time. Now the gym is the best I've seen it.

Negative experience: Full of posers and roid heads! groups of lads hogging machines also has sewage smell in free weight room

Positive experience: Very good gym, better than what was there before. Exercise for less was very outdated.

Positive experience: It's a busy gym, too busy sometimes. All the equipment is brand new and shiny, everything works fine once you get a chance to use it

Positive experience: Good gym better now its been refurbished into JD. Only downside is the cardio section upstairs can get warm when busy and it's not that air conditioned well.

Fantastic experience: Lovely Gym, staff very friendly, excellent value for money, having a sauna puts the icing on top of the cake for me, it relaxes your muscles so much after intense training. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym

Positive experience: Great gym, love that classes are included in the price. I would have given 5 stars but I get the feel that your left to get on with it (no inductions, no visible staff).

Fantastic experience: Really good now it's been changed into a JD gym. Lots of new machines and new classes. Staff really good and also can arrange personal training sessions. Hanner and Shelly are working hard to sort gym issued out and are aways happy to listen to members. Trainers are really good

Positive experience: The gym is layed out much better than before but I find their is issue with some of the equipment still. Example cable machines don't run right on low weight one of them the bars the plates run on are out of line so you can't do low weight like if you want to do big drop sets

Fantastic experience: Love the boxercise class (3 times a week!) & using the gym floor & equipment is great. Working out with Son & Daughter is great for a catch up too. Staff are very friendly & love the chill out in the sauna after my workout.

Positive experience: Nice clean gym. Can get a bit busy at times though

Positive experience: So far so good, good clean equipment, friendly staff, but be warned extremely busy after 16:30 I haven't tried any class yet as that's why I've only gave it 4 stars, well worth the money.

Negative experience: PT Patryk Baranski - Very bad trainer, his training and diet is copy -> paste. Everyone gets the same plan. He has no respect for a customer.

Positive experience: It's a decent gym with a good range of equipment, but the way it was advertised it was showing womens only section which doesn't actually seem to be there, there's like hardly ever any staff there and it's usually packed but there's plenty of equipment so you're never waiting too long to use it

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, load of equipment, good changing rooms, showers never really too busy.

Positive experience: Much improvement on the old xercise4less

Negative experience: Nice clean gym, lots of space, but PT Patryk Baranski ,that guy should be erased from internet and training people for good. His behaviour is unacceptable. He seems to be very calm and polite in his videos but as soon as he goes incognito ( using fake social media accounts) or into a private messages, he becomes a monster insulting, swearing and calling names the person he talks to ( which was shown and proven to public by screenshots). Avoid and dont be fooled!!!

Negative experience: Good gym but PT Patryk Baranski also known as Patryk2703 was very arrogant and boorish. Not recommended

Fantastic experience: Everything you'll need in a gym to get fit loose weight or gain muscle.

Fantastic experience: Excellent equipment and the gym is very clean

Positive experience: Tooooo hot on the lockers and the machines are not getting some age. But it's OK to workout

Fantastic experience: The space used to be occupied by exercise4less. The gym was tired with a lot of broken equipment. What a transformation. The facilities are great all areas fully refurbished. Well worth the monthly fee

Positive experience: Pretty much the same layout since taking over from exercise 4less. Some new kit added. Good free weight section and plenty of bikes and rowing machines. Good amount of lockers and toilets and showers are well kept. My only gripe is that from 4-30 onwards it is very very busy. Still good value at £20 month.

Negative experience: Been to zumba class today . Instructor Wow what a rude person spoke to me like a child . Will not be going to her class again . Ve

Fantastic experience: Friendly team, clean with plenty of kit to use. Can get busy at peak times but they all do.

Positive experience: The new gym looks amazing but it's constantly packed since reopening so unless you're there to do free weights it's hard to get on any machines.
