JD Gyms East Kilbride

Negative experience: - Equipment range is okay. In all fairness the venue is spacious - Car park constantly floods - You cant use your code to access the venue twice in the same day for some ridiculous reason (I contacted them regarding this and they apparently cannot offer a modern solution unlike PureGym and instead you must try to ask a staff member for access, if there is one) - Staff lacking and rarely in sight. Any issues outside of office hours and there is no staff to contact nor an online service, despite the gym being physically open 24/7

Fantastic experience: Visiting from the States and needed a gym. The staff and gym are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere Great vast amount of kit I have no idea why quite a few bad reviews I'd highly recommend this gym

Fantastic experience: I used to be a personal trainer for JD gyms East Kilbride the staff were so nice and had good laugh management was reallly understanding

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Open 24 hrs. Clean and great staff

Negative experience: Repeatedly cancelling appointments. An utter shambles.

Fantastic experience: JD EK is a great gym in my opinion. The equipment is good, especially for my purposes as a powerlifter as there are lots of platforms / half racks, good bars and plates. The staff are very friendly and helpful and there are lots of knowledgeable and great PTs there. The management team are very approachable, caring and keen to help people any way they can. I have personally witnessed and heard of them going out of their way to help people countless times.

Positive experience: The Gym is the best in East Kilbride when compared to other Gyms in the area. The space provides with an Energetic Vibe for the workout session. Me as a Coach have been to so many gyms over the years in my career, JD Gym stand out But today, I faced a issue because of the one entry problem As I went in the Gym I ran to an emergency and need to go back home and came back after 2 hours and wasn’t able to go in And it was 4 in the morning and made me so pissed The Management needs to take an action!

Fantastic experience: The gym is very professional staff are welcoming and friendly would recommend this gym to everyone

Fantastic experience: Staff friendly and approachable, gym was clean and well maintained. Good vibes.

Negative experience: Was considering buying a membership however after visiting I found the toilets were disgusting and thick dust on the weights. I spoke to the manager to see if this was a one off however she was very unpleasant and rude. Won’t be back!

Negative experience: Will not be back place is especially dirty and when brought it to a member of staff I was told if I don't like it leave.....no way to run a business

Fantastic experience: iPT was at JD EK to teach the Gym Based Boxing CPD - Studio space was excellent along with the use of punching bags which made the experience even better for the students. Overall the gym is spacious with an open plan and plenty of equipment. Great day!

Positive experience: Good gym and equipment, only issue is I go between 11pm and 1am and it’s very hot, there was condensation on the dumbbells last night and the windows also at the front door.

Negative experience: Still awaiting a confirmation of cancellation I submitted my application 20th March, never heard of such a slow process for cancelling a membership! Equipment not well maintained and classes not on at enough varying times will NEVER go back but if you could hurry up on processing my cancellation before I again pay for a gym I’m not using that would be great

Negative experience: I have spent the past two years watching this gym become a shadow of its former self. Equipment broken (and never/rarely fixed), no management visible, too busy at peak times (after they shut the hamilton one), old equipment from the exercise4less days. Worryingly, they are suggesting 24/7 is coming soon, a gym that isn't maintained properly in standard working hours shouldn't be open all the time!

Negative experience: The gym is in bad disrepair, I counted 8 treadmills that were out of order some of which have sharp rusty screws sticking out of them. No staff on site could be seen, and it is difficult to get on equipment during busy times due to the amount of people hogging machines while on their phones. Will be looking at other gyms in the area as a result.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant Gym lots of machines the facilitie is large with big changing rooms and lots of lockers just bring a lock( you can also buy 1 from the vending machines)

Negative experience: Used to be a great gym, there is a good selection of equipment, but they have not maintained it. You can never find clips, the car park floods all the time, it's over subscribed so getting on treadmills etc can be a challenge at peak times especially as so many don't work or are not safe (you can feel the tread collapsing on some) Some machines need some tlc as they are 'sticky' see photos for examples. No visible management so no ability to provide feedback on site nor on the JD website that I could see

Fantastic experience: Good equipment and atmosphere, lots of space

Fantastic experience: Great set up.

Fantastic experience: Lots of equipment especially multiple squat racks/deadlift platforms. Can get busy at peak times but not too bad.

Negative experience: The app is absolutely shocking! Terrible app, you can charge £25 a month for a membership but can’t pull your finger out and pay for a decent app??? Puregym has a better app than you it’s honestly so laughable. Doesn’t send you a password reset after requesting multiple times, the whole QR system is a shambles, they obviously can’t keep customers if they reduce prices down to £5 lol! Poor.

Positive experience: Great gym really, Positives for me: - no fuss for joining, very easy, fast & straightforward - spacious, you never feel like the place is crowed - enough equipments, I haven't been there once yet when an equipment I needed was not available - friendly and helpful staff (even if sometimes they can be difficult to locate since they run on rather low staff like other "cheap" Gyms nowadays apparently). They are always prompt to come & help if you are blocked at the gate. Negative: - Only one so far for me is the fact that quite a few running mills are loud which is quite anoying honestly (and I'm not the only one , I regularly see fellow runners moving the a quieter one after few minutes on the loud ones)

Fantastic experience: Great gym with plenty of weights and machines. Vending machines sell padlocks, towels, pre workout and different flavour proteins.

Negative experience: What a joke, gyms meant to open at 6am and it’s 6.30am still shut off to puregym glad a didn’t cancel my membership there

Fantastic experience: My local gym. Good size and decent equipment. Avoid evenings, it's too busy.

Negative experience: So mid icl

Fantastic experience: Great Gym with great classes and brilliant PTs!!!

Fantastic experience: Droga dojazdowa dobra, jeśli masz samochód terenowy. Dużo sprzętu do ćwiczeń, ale starego. Brak sauny i jeszcze jedno , zróbcie to otwarte 24/7 To już przeszłość!!!!! Zrobiliście 24/7 . Droga naprawiona . Zostają tylko sauny , ale tu są pewnie ograniczenia techniczne. Zmieniam ocenę na 5* , za to , że po roku dokonaliście zmian i napraw.

Negative experience: Gyms Terrible compared to other JD Gyms , no sauna , benches don’t go flat , old equipment from the previous gym , inside has been refurbished but still old machines from previous gym I thought the gym would of been fully kitted out with new equipment like the Coatbridge branch . Would be better if it was open 24/7 like other branch’s . Currently driving from EK to use the Coatbridge gym now .

Positive experience: Good session at 6am. Did seem weirdly busy for the time. All the racks were being utilised so had to kill time before starting leg day. Clean and the staff are good though

Fantastic experience: Nice big Gym. Range of equipments.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for the price

Negative experience: Cant even take ur gym bag with your belt straps wraps etc onto gym floor ,management totally unreasonable

Negative experience: Decent equipment but it's currently way over-subscribed (more than any other gym I've seen before), to the point that it's so busy you won't be able to use much at all unless you're able to go during the quietest times. Shame as it's a good set-up otherwise, but most times it is completely unusable in its current over-subscribed state.

Positive experience: Great range of machines and freindly staff on hand to offer guidance and support

Negative experience: Too many people and no even space to work afternoon...

Negative experience: I purchased tracksuit for my son on December 17th as a Christmas gift unfortunately it didn’t fit him we went on holiday 26th December returned on Monday 23rd so the receipt was 2 days over for the return we spoke to the manger Chris who was very un helpful and wouldn’t accommodate an exchange he also challenged me about my holiday basically calling me a liar!! I phoned two other jd sports one in hamilton who will do the refund and also Buchanan street .they were very helpful unlike Chris .won’t ne back in the store again .most akward human being i have ever encountered.

Negative experience: I am a member of the JD Gym in East Kilbride. In October 2022 I noticed that there were several large pot holes on the access road to the gym car park. These pot holes had been there for a while but had become deeper and wider due to the cold and wet weather conditions due to the time of year. The pot holes were so wide and deep that they could potentially cause damage to members cars when driving into the car park. I spoke to a member of staff at JD Gym who made me that other members had complained about the condition of the road and some people had damage to their cars due to the pot holes. The gym car park also has several pot holes and floods when there is any rainfall causing large deep puddles in the car park. I emailed the manager of the gym to share my concerns about the condition of the road and car park in October 2022. I received a response from the manager who stated that the road and car park was “high on his list of priories”. He also stated that JDGyms head office would be dealing with the matter. With no further responses and the condition of the road and car park deteriorating due to winter weather I emailed the manager again in January 2023. He responded that the area manager had been passed my emails and I would be passed feedback. I have has no further response from JD Gyms and members cars are still at risk of damage approximately 3 months after I raised my concerns. I really enjoy using this gym but it I am really disappointed at the lack of action or any kind of response from JD Gyms in relation potential damage to members cars due to the road and car park for the gym.

Positive experience: Easy to use

Positive experience: Could really do with this place going 24 hrs .

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym with excellent equipment and professional staff.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train

Fantastic experience: EQUIPMENT REVIEW Great gym overall and good atmosphere. - heaps of eleiko XF bars and great racks/deadlift platforms. Proper eleiko bumper plates as well - massive range of machines including specialty hip thrusts and others etc - only allowed liquid chalk, and not allowed to have gym bag on floor - 2x decline bench, 2x flat bench, 2x incline bench. As usual the flat benches are pretty low and the surface extremely slippery. Kinda impossible to bench press properly with leg drive unfortunately. - all other benches in front of the DB racks are stupid in that the seat won’t lie flat so even flat DB press is very difficult All in all a solid gym but just always super frustrating that they don’t have option to bench press properly. Just need 1 combo rack or even some moveable flat benches and would be 10/10. This is the same across basically every commercial gym in the world for sim unknown reason!! Tags: powerlifting, strongman, strength training

Positive experience: Comfortable gym and great ladies only section for those a bit less comfortable working out in main section. Induction/show around could have been alot better considering never been in a gym before!

Positive experience: Very open feel, one level, nice changing rooms more flat bench presses would be ideal but apart from that very nice gym

Negative experience: Poor show if you get talking to anyone 'they film you and then accuss you of working as a personal trainer Better gyms in East kilbide with friendlier staff . Sta

Negative experience: Disgusting staff unfriendly and haven’t got a clue as how to speak to people Plenty of good gyms in East Kilbride but not this one

Fantastic experience: Good stylish looking gym. Sunday is always a nice time to go as it's quiet.

Fantastic experience: Good gym, good atmosphere, plenty of equipment

Positive experience: Great gym but total disrespect by other members using disabled spaces without badges

Fantastic experience: Great Gym but please turn down the music. I have my headset at full tilt and it's still drowned out by the gym music.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym

Negative experience: I remember when this place used to be a 10 pin bowling alley i miss it and wish there still was a 10 pin bowling alley in east kilbride

Positive experience: Music far to loud, interferes with my own earbud music, please turn the volume down, then I would give it a 5 star rating.

Positive experience: W gym but whoever is on aux needs to turn down their awful music

Positive experience: Good gym,but too loud music,and a membership price almost double then before was...

Negative experience: Xercise4less was a better gym. Half the price and half the amount or people. Maybe that's why it changed hands! Some fancy neon lights and weights equipment rammed even at quiet times. Music so loud you can hear it over your own earphones.

Positive experience: Lots of changes...much confusion

Fantastic experience: Lots of space and new equipment, the studio is just huge, everyone is very friendly and helpful, I had nice chat and reassurance today with Iwona, she really helped me get a grip of how stuff works there! Can't wait to come for my next training :)

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: An excellent gym, clean, good atmosphere great range of equipment. Very helpful staff. Only small irritant for me is I shouldn't be able to hear the gym music above my own earbuds at full volume but I can. Turn it down a bit.

Positive experience: (past member review) Had been a member when it was Xercise4less, since being taken over (another once prior to becoming a JD sports gym) my membership price doubled. The gym has had updated decor/ equipment, but there seems less equipment just more spread out (maybe just due to covid guidelines?). Great equipment for all training schedules!. Not being local to the area when I signed up (almost 4 years ago), the price is now only a few pounds short of a more local gym (as opposed to more than half!). Good price if can use it more than once a week/ local.

Positive experience: Great place now it has been upgraded. Warm clean and well equipped.

Fantastic experience: What an outstanding gym experience for east kilbride. Cant quite believe this is our gym now. Sensational spin studio, excellent classes. The staff are excellent and really should take a bow

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in east kilbride! A lot more spacious than the local gyms, fantastic equipment no waiting about to use any equipment, massive improvement from when it was xercise4less.

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing gym! The change from the old X4L is crazy. Not only do they have so much more equipment, the atmosphere has drastically changed, its brighter, the music is louder and the lighting is perfect for a wee selfie. Staff are friendly and always there to help on the gym floor!

Negative experience: DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM! It is Xercise4less under a different name! Same embarrassing managers running it! Same poor communication! Same price hikes! Same people harassing folk in the town! Do not go to this gym!!!
