JD Gyms Nottingham

Positive experience: Hello, why is there no spin class?

Positive experience: The gym is spacious, and it has a ladies-only area, but the ladies gym mainly consists of cardio equipment. Adding cables and a barbell for hip thrusts would make it more functional and worth the money. Additionally, there’s a lack of cleaning supplies for members to wipe down equipment, which is disappointing. JD Gyms should also enforce a policy for men to keep their shirts on to ensure a more comfortable and hygienic environment. Also the music is too loud in the ladies gym.

Positive experience: I really enjoy working out at JD. The equipment is great, and the staff are always friendly. However, I think it would be a great improvement if sanitizers, like sprays and tissues or wipes, were provided so members can clean the equipment before and after use. It would help maintain hygiene and make the experience even better. Thanks for considering!

Negative experience: Rubbish gym. Most of the machines are for legs, lack of equipment for Chest and back. Full of students.

Positive experience: Well, to be honest, equipment wise, it's good, but I didn't like that if you want to cancel your membership, you can't just do it from the app. You have to tell them in advance via email, and then the membership will be stopped or cancelled from the other side.

Positive experience: It's a well used gym with a good range of different equipment. Most equipment in the gym is in need of maintenance, needs replacing or in need of repair. The EPOS system to enter vehicle registration for car park hardly ever working. Large mats on top floor all cracked and unsightly. Equipment with cushions missing or not secure. This gym really needs a maintenance manager.

Positive experience: Great gym, too crowded at peak hours though.

Negative experience: This has gotta be the worse managed gym I've been to in 40 yrs. 4 weeks ago I complained about cold showers. 4 weeks on the water is still cold. Pathetic! Two bikes down stars have faults due to inadequate maintenance. I reported those 5 weeks ago, they're are still the same.

Positive experience: It has been a good experience. The only issue is we need more equipment in the ladies area . That will surely boast the experience to a 5 star.

Negative experience: Terrible terrible terrible It’s just disgusting I tried to cancel my membership in August They finally cancelled it in September after I had already been charged a delay fee as well I payed it because I had no time to call and complain Today I saw that my bank account have been charged again I send an e-mail and I called to speak with someone to sort this out but I’m in the line for an hour now and no one is answering That is unacceptable I never had similar problem with my previous gym It’s been to months trying to solve the same problem.

Negative experience: Staff are very des respectful and rude

Positive experience: Massive gym with an amazing range of equipment. Only thing is the gym is always busy and can be extremely difficult to get on equipment at peak times.

Negative experience: Terrible, don't go here

Fantastic experience: “I had a really nice experience at JD Gyms Nottingham! They have plenty equipment combined with a great floor space giving you endless possibilities for a great workout! The all staff is also really friendly and I would like to praise in special the fully qualified and expert Personal Trainer Madiyah Mahmood. I’m currently finishing my level 3 and 4 in nutrition, and I can really say that I got inspired by her, due her professionalism and dedication with her clients. She is always very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! Every time that she was around with a client our exercising by herself you clear see so much dedication, strength and motivation! You can see in her eyes she really loves her job and clear takes pride and joy and help others… it is very inspiring!!! Thanks for the motivation and keep up the great work, all the best Madiyah Mahmood!!! Kinds and best regards Leo

Positive experience: A great gym and range of equipment!! Really worth the money, does get busy at peak times and wish there was more classes especially yoga/pilates etc at weekends and evenings as a lot of them are during the day so can’t make them!

Negative experience: Pros: Large open space and plenty of various equipment, making it easier to exercise even during peak times, friendly staff. Cons: - No sanitation stations so you see sweat on the machines every day + haven't seen the staff cleaning the machines once the sanitation station was removed... - missing grips on most handles (exposing the rugged metal which digs into your hands when lifting heavy) - missing circlips on equipment, resulting in clanking of weights and loose padding (and some padding is so worn out you can feel the metal bar on your shins - looking at you, leg extension machine). - lack of lockers once the changing rooms are locked - only 2 seated machine fly/rear delt machines leading to constant queues - 1 entry per day, so if you go in for a second workout you need to ring a bell and someone comes out to let you in. Unfortunately, I doubt they'll fix the issues at hand so will probably move gyms once the month is over. Shame really, doesn't take much to maintain the gym.

Negative experience: Weights everywhere and equipment never works especially the ergs. I feel for the staff there, it's hard to care when people constantly make a mess. There is a PT who consistently parks his Aldi in a disabled spot which I don't understand why. The only real positive is it's 24 hours so good for early starts at the weekend. It needs greater rules on people not tidying and a more robust mechanism for looking after it's equipment.

Positive experience: So I’ve been using this gym for a while and overall the experience is okay (hence the 3 star review) Pros: range of machines and equipment, separate women’s section, the range of different classes, price point Cons: the women’s section could do with more machines (weight machines not cardio) + weight selection. Don’t get me wrong, it is better than it was a few years ago but it would be great to have a cable machine or smith machine - particularly for hip thrusts / lunges! It would also be great if we could access the women’s section through the stairs at the back - this used to be the case but since it was made 24 hours, the door is locked. Not sure why this was changed.

Negative experience: Staff are absolute terrible don’t help when asked a question and are clueless about any time u wanna speak to them

Positive experience: It's an alright gym, equipment is half decent, no flat benches for some reason? People don't put their weights back. All the pin cables are broken. Usable average gym.

Positive experience: 24/7 this branch, good experience

Negative experience: I have visited The Nottingham branch for 1 month whilst here for work, All I can say is to Avoid !!!!, you will be looking for equipment more than you can train, There bars to connect to work out machines have no grip aswell and this has been going on for the past month whilst I’ve been here, Also you will have members from this Gym filming themselves with tripods out, Clearly a breach of privacy, I will be emailing the head office of the JD gym group and informing them of what changes could be done to avoid boycotting this branch

Negative experience: Very very average and quite a few broken pieces

Negative experience: If you want to walk past someone filming themselves then this is the place for you! Lots of waiting about for kids who don't know what they're doing to finish their exercise. Groups of people talking and not training. I spent more time looking for free equipment than actually training. Avoid at all cost and I actually like the JD gym in Wigan. It has loads of better equipment. This is basic at best!

Fantastic experience: People will film you and make fun of you for likes and attention. Do not recommend!! Edit: JD Gym has addressed the matter and has redeemed our faith in #GymPositivity

Fantastic experience: You need to enter reg in machine for extra 2 hours. Nice gym, plenty of equipment

Negative experience: One of the workers I think his name is oli but I’m not sure. He was very rude to me for no reason and I only asked him where could I find the equipment for the back exercise downstairs and started arguing with me and raising his voice . Shouldn’t be doing this especially as an employee at Jd gym . Other than that the gym is alright very busy though

Negative experience: It’s a good gym because it’s got kit that others haven’t only problem is it’s always over capacity and needs to be more parking, the car park is always full. Also full of people trying to be influencers and the constant Tripods littered everywhere. Also please stop blokes from taking their tops off in the middle of the gym.

Positive experience: Low end gym because of the way it is managed, not the gym itself... Equipment is ok, lots of space and different machine choices even if it is not the most modern. However, what an absolutely mess of a gym; plates and dumbbells all over the place, spillages. No gym etiquette from anyone and the staff doesn't tidy up anything!

Negative experience: Workers are clowns. Suspended my account and making false rumours bunch of clowns lol

Positive experience: Wide open space, a lot of equipment. Equipment is a bit old tho compared to PureGym etc. Wish the drinking water was cold but otherwise very clean and has everything you need

Fantastic experience: First day with my mate and all I can say is I loved it. Switching to 24hrs open allowed us to go in @ 5am whilst it was quite and eased my new starter nerves. Brilliant vibe, all the equipment I could ever need and friendly fellow gym goers and staff

Fantastic experience: Great cleaning

Negative experience: Update 12/12/2023: The existing membership freeze and cancellation process are very unfair and not flexible for valued customers. Unfortunately, you applied the freeze after few hours you took the payment from my account (12/12/2023), resulting in the loss of £21 with no refund offered, as per your terms and conditions. Regrettably, this experience has led me to decide not to return to your gym. It's disheartening to see similar sentiments echoed in other reviews, and I believe you may be losing more customers due to this issue. A very good gym in Nottingham. Spacious and plenty of equipment. The staff are nice and hard working. I do feel sorry for them when they tidy the mess left by some especially when heavy. The only down side is that it is extremely busy after 5 PM during term-time but hopefully the introduction of 24 hours option will address this. Also, the shower facilities need attention as they are a bit tired.

Fantastic experience: Decent size gym with plenty of equipments. But busy most of the time. Would still recommend.

Positive experience: It is good for the price. The biggest think that upsets me is seeing personal trainers using blue badge exclusive car parking space even when the car park is empty. Really disrespectful.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Nottingham, hands down.

Positive experience: Love the gym but the air-conditioning is pretty nonexistent or even any air flow at all. Had to leave the gym last week due to feeling so hot and this has put me and my friend off from keeping our membership.

Negative experience: There literally no air conditioning , which spoils the experience . Some items need regular maintenance carried out I.e screws on cardio machines lose , bit of chewing gum in the bottle holder etc . Other than that it is spacious plenty of room and equipment available .

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. A bit hot though.

Fantastic experience: jim

Positive experience: Well stocked but can be quite busy

Fantastic experience: One of the best GYM I have ever been to but it is most of the time but you will be able to get equipment with little to no wait. It get even busier between 5pm to 8pm Monday - Friday to the point it become really hard to get machine and equipment. During that time you will be waiting alot and it can be demotivating.

Negative experience: For such a huge gym there’s extremely little variety of equipment. Very few amount of machines in acres of space. Dumbbells are just left on the floor by inconsiderate members leading to very little choice on rack. Bloke on entrance is rude and unhelpful. Also extremely busy in term time. Wouldn’t recommend.

Negative experience: You'll get a parking fine if you want to go to the gym for more than 2 hours

Negative experience: pec fly machine been broken for months... they do not care

Fantastic experience: It's a great gym. Worth the hype.

Negative experience: Machines take months to be repaired. Not enough cables for the size of the gym, and always taken. I haven't done cable flies in months. All resistance machines are kinda mid. Can't find space to breath in peak times.

Positive experience: Very busy

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Very clean & tidy, staff are lovely, especially the manager Jimmy. I cannot recommend this gym enough. The only down side is that it is not open 24 hours :( Edit: The gym is now 24hours! So there is officially no downside

Negative experience: A new ghettooo style gym ... no decent clothing or respect toward all the other people that come for workout!!! Loud/loud people with "ownership" kick. Again....NO RESPECT /NO DECENT GEAR FOR GYM ! This 24/24 turned this gym in a shiet place....in witch people r scared to come at early hours! They force gates...to take there "homeeess" for free ,when "we" the idiots pay for it(u should CANCEL ALL of those that abuse and dont respect others or service)! Some of the equipm. is out of service for more then 1week. The wifi is poor qual. dose not work...all the time. Dust all over...and the ventilation is poor. U raise the price but there is no + in service qual. provided.

Fantastic experience: Clean and spacious gym with various equipments around the place. The gym is very male-dominated and can be quite intimidating for the ladies, but there is a womens only gym (although it’s quite small)

Positive experience: Good gym

Negative experience: Worst gym ever if it wont for the distance i would never go there half the time theres no equipment there or its broken , always a rush and never enough machines to use, for the price and name it an absolute shambles

Fantastic experience: The best gym but too expensive

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! It's well maintained and provides an access to a wide range of equipments. The trainers are really friendly and motivating. I've trained with Teresa, Zena, Ronald, Lorraine and Donna. They were super kind, motivating and have great energy. Thank you guys! Couldn't recommend them more!

Fantastic experience: Well equipped to gym including CrossFit and weightlifting platforms

Fantastic experience: Their own car park, specious gym , I've been going to this gym for few years.

Negative experience: Cancellation took 30 days and charged me another month during this period. It doesn’t make any sense.

Negative experience: I am a member in this gym for a long time 5 years. The female toilets were dirty every times , the shower water is very cold you have wait for 4-5 minutes to get warm water. The ladies gym very dirty . The exercise machines are no clean, I’m not happy with the DJ gym management from manager to small staff,

Fantastic experience: The gym is really big and has a lot of options ranging from cardio to strength training and even yoga.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Decent kit

Positive experience: Good gym, large and spacious... However due to having the cable machines upstairs ... Can't superset with free weights. Also dislike the benches as the seat area is permanently inclined. Otherwise clean tidy and lots of equipment

Fantastic experience: Great gym ! Fantastic equipment. Great value for money.

Fantastic experience: Great gym ✅

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym!

Fantastic experience: Good

Negative experience: Hi This is bad experience with jd gym as they said there is no contract and you can cancel anytime. However, when I asked to freeze my account they noticed I need 10 days in advance which they did not said in first day. Also there is just one toilet was working in men said and the area not clean . It was bad experience and no happy at all

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean

Positive experience: I’ve been a member here for ages and recently the gym etiquette here is getting awful. A particular PT approaching women in the gym to give unsolicited lifting advice when they are lifting perfectly well (or at least better than most). It has to stop because it’s not a nice environment to train in and it’s creepy. If you want to give advice on lifting there is a way to do it, not standing literally face to face to a member and trying to get as close to them as humanly possible. Seriously, this has to stop. Apart from the gym is pretty decent!

Fantastic experience: Ronald and Lorraine spinning classes are amazing best spinning classes I have ever been too!! Always amazing atmosphere and music and a large variety of tracks and routines!

Positive experience: good

Fantastic experience: i absolutely love this gym !

Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere and quality gym

Fantastic experience:

Negative experience: huge gym but definitely no punching bag space to kick it. And I thought that I would be able to practice kick techniques, unfortunately I was wrong. It used to be better organized for 4x gym. floor is not well thought out, laminate is very slippery, slips quickly.

Positive experience: Good gym, modern and stylish interior but it does get very very packeddd to the point that every machine is taken up. It kind of interrupts what you had planned for your workout… making you stay longer for what you initially planned.

Fantastic experience: Good gym

Fantastic experience: I love it. All the staff and PTs are so friendly. The facilities are amazinf too. No complaints

Fantastic experience: Great gym loads of machines.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Nottingham. They've got everything you need. It's been renovated recently so it's still fresh.

Positive experience: Decent gym with a ladies only area. Worth a try

Positive experience: Nice gym, some of the cable attachments require replacing as the rubber is missing and it takes some time for JD to sort and it’s been like this for 2 months, other than loads of equipment

Positive experience: I like it that it has a ladies section beside the open facility for all.

Fantastic experience: Ladies only section and conveniently located.

Positive experience: Good gym but can get very busy at peak times which often results in no parking & inability to use some machines. They would benefit from the system pure gym use where you can check the capacity of the gym on the app before you go. The class times are a bit all over the place at the minute as-well. Got there to do a class the other day & it was cancelled last minute. Other than that.. its a decent gym

Positive experience: Clean and friendly

Negative experience: Need to consider opening 24 hours like other JD gyms.

Negative experience: Been waiting Since 8 in the Morning. Date: 19/09/2021 Time now: 8:38 That's not the good start for the day. I have life and I have plans. I walk for 45 minutes one way to reach the gym. And today I am hurt. That's not fair.

Fantastic experience: First time to like a gym as it is always clean and not smelly at all ! For only 20 quids monthly All classes are included in your membership,no hidden fees !

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym ❤️ it’s like a home to me, amazing staff, very specious, best in notts

Fantastic experience: It's great, loads of equipment, 6 squat platforms and 4 dedicated deadlift platforms, plus machines, plenty of bench racks, and in the rare event those are taken (hasn't happened yet) loads of alternative machines and 3 rows of benches by the dumbbells, plus plenty of cardio equipment, all spaced out, really impressed so far

Fantastic experience: Very good Gym, value for money , plenty of weights and areas

Positive experience: Decent gym but the matrix machines suck. The matrix machines should be hooked up to power. Instead it's not hooked to power but instead powered by yourself. Bit annoying if u rest for a min the machine will restart.

Positive experience: Good gym

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym the staff are so friendly good selection of equipment spotless clean very warm and welcoming environment super value for money x

Negative experience: Big gym, lots of squat racks and circa 75% of the equipment is in pretty good condition. Certain covid rules only seem to apply to whoever the staff decide. Generally one set of rules for members and another for staff.

Negative experience: Just been told to leave my small backpack in a locker. I carry just equipment in it. How can I carry it without a bag? Just 2 leg press machines, always a queue for them, but lots of things people don't use. There were at least 3 before gym renovation. No steppers at all now. Very dusty under equipment and on sides.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Quite busy since opening and more expensive than before.

Positive experience: Brak sauny,gdzie w JD Gyms jest standardem.Niestety nie jest to siłownia całodobowa .
