JD Gyms Burnley

Positive experience: Excellent Gym and lots of equipment, and Darcie has been very helpful. Only a few issues I can say, not enough weights considering its a busy gym and the majority of the equipment is plate loaded, but overall had an excellent experience Better GYM etiquette is needed people not putting weights away, or asking before taking weights of equipment that is being used

Fantastic experience: My favourite

Fantastic experience: I had 5 weeks of personal training here with Angel and she was absolutely fab! I lost 9lb in that time. I was an absolute novice at weigh lifting and she taught me how to safely use the weights and showed me which exercises to do which targeted the areas I wanted to lose weight. She also provided me with a continuous training programme as well as nutritional support and advice. Thanks Angel!

Fantastic experience: New and Nice gym for beginners and professionals

Fantastic experience: JD Gyms one of the best GYMs to go in Burnley I go there regularly now to train absolutely love the facilities and it also helps with my self esteem and mental health as well as I get a positive reaction out of it would definitely recommend to more people that I know so they can also sign up

Positive experience: Good facilities at Burnley but downstairs is quite compact and the shower are far to hot. Could also do with more benches in the changing rooms.

Fantastic experience: Props to Ashley and Gareth from the office for being such helpful and accommodating gentlemen, you guys are awesome!

Fantastic experience: Best local gym, seperate gym for ladies and with ladies only sauna. The best thing is we can go anytime, not like other gyms where ladies only has a set time. The membership is reasonable not expensive at all for what the gym offers.

Positive experience: JD Burnley gym is good, but can you mopping this area sometimes, and better clean up in sauna please? Thank you

Negative experience: Other members don’t put weights back where they should which the staff doesn’t enforce as much as they should, the changing rooms absolutely reek and should be cleaned more often, the equipment is mediocre at best, the music is 1000 decibels too loud and consists of rave music that slowly chips away at your sanity, kids vaping on the gym floor, pretty much all negative reviews are responded to with denial or ‘sorry!’ But no changes have been made since the gym opened, #justiceforxercise4less that place was my paradise this gym is catabolic every second you spend here you lose 1lb of muscle tissue BEWARE!

Negative experience: I ask for a cancellation and there take money out My account not happy with JD GYM

Positive experience: Recently joined, enjoying overall, I think it depends what you want to get out of a gym as to wether it’s for you. £21.99 is very competitive. The kit is mainly good, lots of racks, benches, cables, dumbbells - that’s all really good. Upstairs cardio area looks brilliant and there is a female only are too I believe. Not the variety of plate loaded machines as some other gyms in town. If your a power lifter there’s loads of space for it. Facilities - nice, new gym so to be expected but changing rooms, showers are all a good standard & sauna is an added bonus. The downside, unfortunately are the other members (lol). No one moves any weights off machines, no one puts anything away, dumbbell section is a free for all. At peak, it’s horrendous. Staff don’t seem to tell/encourage members to keep things organised, no signage etc. Blokes leave 80-100kg of weights on a machine and then a teenager or young girl has to try and take it all off, that’s poor & doesn’t happen in other gyms I go to so it can be managed. Some of the people who go are inconsiderate/rude and just there to socialise, will happily stand in your way or right over you as you lift, as above, at peak time it’s chaos. Luckily I can go anytime of day and now go in a morning and it’s a great experience overall I really like it, however if your only available gym time is 4-7pm and your serious about your fitness journey, you’re not going to achieve what you want here. Overall it’s great value and an enjoyable place to be.

Fantastic experience: Great well kitted out 24 hour gym over two floors. There is a women's only gym upstairs and regular classes in its studio. The changing rooms have a sauna open from 6am to 10pm. The only downside is that it can get really busy at times making it hard to find machines or benches to work out on.

Negative experience: no one to clean or at least something to clean the napkins. And that's why I canceled the subscription in the middle of the month and the people from JD stopped the account immediately, but I had paid for a full month!

Negative experience: My original review was 5 stars but I believe the gym is on a downward slope. The equipment and facilities are fantastic and cannot be faulted however it is massively overcrowded especially around the busy hours. I know this is to be expected at a gym but there is no room to exercise and workouts are ruined by waiting for equipment constantly. My second issue is the constant lack of weights on designated racks! I spend 1/2 of the time searching the gym for plates or scanning the dumbbell rack for something that is in the complete wrong end. I understand this isn’t entirely the gym’s fault and partially due to people’s laziness but I have been to plenty of other gyms that have perfect maintenance of their weights and they are always in the correct places. I wouldn’t recommend signing up to this gym if you aim to go after work (4-6) and certainly not if you’re expecting to stick to a decent workout plan because you have to chop and change exercises due to how busy it is.

Negative experience: Says no contact but charges £40 if you want to cancel your subscription

Positive experience: Nice gym..lots equipment..but very busy always waiting around for equipment to be free...

Fantastic experience: Very good gym , clean and well run

Positive experience: Decent equipment but not clean enough. Pubes, bum fluff and all sorts of stuff on the shower floors, along with a very strange smell in the changing rooms, showers and sauna. Kind of mix between sweat and human excrement. But yesterday in the one and only changing cubicle there was the top half of a banana, half a packet of hoola hoops and a strange watery sticky liquid on the floor. Not a nice place to clean yourself after a workout. 3 out of five stars is a generous review

Fantastic experience: Love this gym.. only goin for 2weeks jus 2 try get bit fitter n tone up

Fantastic experience: Joining soon

Positive experience: Very good

Positive experience: Not bad.

Positive experience: Great equipment clean gym but very busy between 5 and 7

Fantastic experience: Good gym, good atmosphere, usually very clean and staff are good. Kit is pretty up to date and rare that any piece is out of action.

Negative experience: This gym has moved into a much smaller building, classes have been reduced, building feels claustrophobic as ceilings are lowered, upstairs is all artificial lighting. Womens gym is a joke. Feels like a mouse hole. No natural lighting or air. You have to wait for equipment as they've literally put 1 equipment in some sections and called it a womems only gym area. Also have requested can morning classes start 9.30am as school run and traffic is bad in Burnley. Classes still starting at 9.15am. No one really listens. Not impressed. Been a long time customer really disappointed and not recommending to others.

Fantastic experience: Good budget gym with plenty of equipment and a sauna.

Positive experience: Very modern gym with good quality equipment, perfectly adequate showers and changing room with good secure lockers. HOWEVER….. whenever I try to get into the premises using their “JD app” it’s like Russian roulette! Every now and again it lets me generate a code to open the gate to get in, more often than not it will not generate one….IT’S INFURIATING! I have brought it to the attention of the management who have shown great sympathy to my constant complaining about this situation, however nothing ever gets done to rectify this situation. I must point out that there are other uses experiencing the same problem as me, so it’s not my mobile device at fault here, it’s obviously a glitch in the software that struggles with certain devices (Apple) although not all, as I see other uses breezing in unhindered. Today was the final straw, as I was left waiting outside a long time feeling like an idiot as other patrons waltzed in, nobody would answer the buzzer to let me in manually. So I shall with reluctance be stopping my direct debit after 4 years of loyal membership, also my wife will be leaving too, as we like to attend the gym together. Which is quite sad, as all that was required was some positive action from staff and management to rectify the situation for me.

Negative experience: Shower, sauna and toilet facilities are very dirty all the time. Please do something about it. Just go and check the floor inside the showers.

Fantastic experience: Really good range of equipment, wish there were less treadmills and more weights in the women's section

Negative experience: There has been several issues since joining the gym, after maybe 6 months of it being open, the showers are unsanitary and it looks as thought the sauna is rarley cleaned. Excrements on machines from dirty shoes, fingernails on the floor for weeks. Generally dirty and messy an unhealthy place to become healthy, but thats not my main issue. I raised a complaint about a male member of staff walking into the female changing rooms whilst my friend was in there and she wasnt givin time to cover up and was very undignifing. I asked the member of staff who lied to me about going in, i asked the manager to do an investigation and nothing was done. There are numerous reasons i am leaving. I have about 7/8 people i train with in that gym who will also be leaving, the staff are ill trained and rarely venture onto the floor, spending most of there time in the office. Its unsanitary and there isnt even blue roll and spray to clean machines down after yourself, or others. Now that i have cancelled membership i stil have to pay for next month, i am not able to use the app so im missing out on two months worth of membership. Ive paid for services im not able to receive?.

Positive experience: Wish there was a indication on the app how full it was. Always so busy.. its annoying being stopped every few minutes being asked how many sets you have left. Sometimes there's group of teens, not doing anything but dossing.. wish they'd be told to clear out if they aren't working out. I love the classes. Especially Shirley Garnett - Love clubbersise ❤️❤️

Positive experience: Plenty of exercise equipment. Showers are good

Fantastic experience: Pretty new member here, ask one of the staff to give you a tour and they are more than happy to help. Women's only section if you feel a bit nervous as I was in the beginning although you realise pretty fast that most people are completely normal and don't care if you're a novice or an expert. Female changing rooms are clean and spacious, decent showers although could do with hooks for clothes or towels. Nice sauna , men and women's are seperate. Regular classes that I don't think you have to book and are included in the membership. The gym equipment seems to me excellent, little signs on them to explain how to use each item. Best of all it's 24 hours so you can go anytime.

Fantastic experience: Love it here, prices cheap you can cancel anytime

Positive experience: Great gym. Only downfall is the classes have a clear window. I am sure alot more people would join if the glass was blurred out. As it gives no privacy.

Fantastic experience: every thing available to keep fit

Positive experience: Good facilities, just a bit dirty and weights never put back

Fantastic experience: Great gym and Sophie classes are great

Fantastic experience: Open 24 hours but lockerooms close at midnight. Loads of machines but the bench area is a little cramped

Negative experience: Oh boy - this gym? Where do I start! It’s small. People Hogging machines.. 15 year old kids drinking energy drinks, and having a laugh. It’s a joke. It’s a den. I’m going to pure gym. Cancelling and will be putting this across all socials that Burnley jd gym is worst on planet. The staff busy eating chips in their rooms. AVOID AND CANCEL

Negative experience: Funny how the staff from JD are asking people to leave fake reviews. This GYM is a joke. The old one was much better, and spacious - I’m cancelling today. Some of the issues at this gym. - People hogging the machines upstairs and sitting there to either take a break or simply browse TikTok videos. - people hogging the bench in the far corner, selfishly. - people at the back staring and not working out. - one Asian man literally takes a 10 minute nap on the leg press machine. He smiles at you, then picks his nose spreading his germs. What’s to like about this gym? There is no space and everyone is working so closely to each other. It’s impossible to workout in peace. The staff are liars and are oblivious to this - SORT IT OUT OR YOU WILL LOSE CUSTOMERS.

Fantastic experience: Been going for the last 2 months and nice gym. very busy at the most convenient times we have ended up going after 10.30 in the evening and the gym has less traffic

Fantastic experience: Considering it was my first time training in a JD gym, I found the facility quite spacious with a wide variety of Matix equipment to train with. The gym itself is clean and the changing room was nicely kept with a sauna inside of it to end your session with. Would highly recommend giving it a go if you’re in the area. 10/10 - Friendly staff - Great facility - Clean gym

Negative experience: Very weird atmosphere like theres about to be an en mass Asian brawl at any given moment. People do not re rack weights on the whole, topless weirdos, slamming plates; generally not a great place to be. The equipment isn't bad, its actually very good but the permitted behaviour is worth a wide berth.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, the s that work there really good.

Fantastic experience: Love it ❤️

Positive experience: Great modern spacious

Positive experience: Good gym, busy as all JD's are.

Fantastic experience: Feels like second home with great ambience. All tools and machines available with amazing and experienced trainers.

Positive experience: Can get very crowded good equipment.

Fantastic experience: this gym is awesome! it's clean well organized and has everything needed to achieve fitness goals. the staff is ok and helpful(8/10). highly recommend it!

Positive experience: It's a good gym, great friendly staff as well, but there's 1 big issue holding it down, that there's just 1 leg raise machine, it is a big thing for me and it always seems very popular with others even in the old building, i know i could possibly do other similar exercises but that doesn't help me at all as there are multiple reasons why i use this machine for this particular exercise

Positive experience: Only one leg raise machine, pathetic, although the equipment is really good

Fantastic experience: Fantastic new gym in Burnley, love it lots of equipment lots of weights and cardio. Even a ladies only bit and saunas too changing rooms are spacious and modern. All round great gym.

Positive experience: Good gym, staff friendly, decent equipment Only thing is that they don't have a good A/C system and it's way too small compared to X4L. Music is way too loud Don't know what they were thinking moving to a smaller premises.

Fantastic experience: Lovely wonderful amazing

Negative experience: Worst gym, cramped. Full of sweaty man and lighting is bad. Staff are useless, twiddling their thumbs like lost puppies. I preferred the old gym - will be cancelling. Why have a small building? This is a poor attempt at trying to mislead public. Save yourself - find a different gym.

Negative experience: This gym is shocking it’s tiny and all the equipment is next to each other! There is not one area to warm up or Stretch out and it’s always packed to the brim I’ve been a few times since it opened and every single time it was packed, they definitely should of stayed in the old building and renovated it, the only good thing about this gym is that the staff are nice people but everything else is just not a good experience! There is no natural light and it just feels so dark and gloomy it’s very claustrophobic and you can’t just have a chilled workout, there should be a way to find out how many people are in the gym at any given time, they should remove some stuff out the gym and make it a bit more spaced out they should also limit the amount of people who can be in the gym at once or at least have limits for certain times. As for the lighting and stuff there is not really much that can be because of the type of building it is.

Negative experience: Awful gym. Too small, cramped and busy. Bring back X4L.

Fantastic experience: Great new gym, absolutely love it clearly and fresh everytime

Negative experience: Good gym and facilities, friendly staff apart from one person, a PT, the black girl (apologies if that’s not PC) but overheard a few comments that made her sound quite arrogant and a bit up herself, she walks around as if she’s a beautiful person, there is confidence and arrogance and she is the latter. Her parents and boyfriend/girlfriend might think she’s pretty but not everyone is ‘ogling’ her, that’s her word. Be humble. Just had to write this as I’m getting ready for the gym.

Fantastic experience: Fully Equipped gym with 24 hour access but big difference is Staff ( Gym Trainers ) are very helpful and friendly - special thanks to Aiden , every time i approached him he always answered my questions about workout routines and diet. FAO MANAGER - I always see Aiden putting weights back on wracks which are left behind on bars or on floor . " Gym Etiquette for members that you put weights back to its place but many don't follow that rule or understand hazard it could cause " - Imran.

Fantastic experience: Great new hi-tech equipment Some great new Legs Chest and especially Back equipment is brilliant so many variations. Plenty of benches and Cardio equipment too Loving the new gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym great staff

Negative experience: Review updated on 1st July 2023 I have now decided to cancel my membership for the following reasons. This gym keeps putting up £9.99 joining promotions without a contract so you always have people joining for a month and then leaving. Most time off peak or on peak, it is difficult to find a machine to work on since most people occupy the machine for more than 20 mins as they will do 1 set and then spend 8 mins checking social media on their phones and then repeating the same for 20 mins and more. This gym is small and cramped and feels claustrophobic when there is more than 20 people in the gym. No one is available to answer my call when I ever I have called

Negative experience: Nice looking gym, Went inside and it stunk. Sweaty machines, Not cleaned ( Hazard ) Covid-19 Ongoing and these inconsiderate people can’t clean up after themselves. Pricks. Old men in Changing rooms with Nobs out

Fantastic experience: GREAT GYM! So JD Gyms have opened in Burnley on Prestige Retail Park near Sainsbury’s to replace the former Xerciseforless on Kingsway. The elephant in the room here is that the floor space is a smaller that what members are used to at Kingsway house. But I think the benefits this new gym offers far outweighs the drawbacks of the new location. Firstly, it’s now open 24 hours a day, which is amazing particularly for night workers like me or Asians going through Ramadan. The equipment is so much better than before, they’ve got modern machines and everything works. Nothing is broken for weeks at a time like the other place. They’ve got a great selection of classes, nice changing rooms and they even have saunas, which is very welcome especially in winter. And because it’s on Sainsbury’s land, there’s hundreds of parking spaces, not the 37 spaces of the old location. You only get three hours free parking, so don’t get fined for staying longer! If you’re a member of the old gym, it’ll take some getting used to, for sure. But it’s still a fantastic gym for the price.

Fantastic experience: Certi gym

Fantastic experience: Nice location, parking and equipment. Sauna was perfect.

Fantastic experience: 1st time I'm since exercise4less closed. floor space seems small but more equipment. the new cable set up is brilliant. Loads more benches in the free weight area. All in all I was impressed how they fitted it all in.

Fantastic experience: Plenty of equipment really good gym

Positive experience: Great place to work out, classes are amazing, Just needs a spin room now

Positive experience: Great gym with a variety of equipment. It's smaller than X4L building; therefore, it appears cramped, but the equipment makes up for this. It's a shame the sauna opens at 6am, would've liked to use it for early morning sessions. I hope everyone looks after the gym and puts the weights back once done. Makes a big difference.

Positive experience: Update: Dropped from 5 star to 4, went during night to find the Studio shuts at 10pm. Music also seems very very loud. Visited for first time today and it's nice. Obviously everything brand new, quite spacious with lots of equipment. I usually go to PureGym in Colne, and this being double the distance unsure if it's worth staying with. I like the fact there's plenty of squats compared to PureGym, Colne, Rest of it is similar. I was expecting and hoping there would be a at least two leg presses in the weights area as it's one for hogging, but only one which is a shame. Otherwise if you live close by, well worth it. If you live closer to Puregym, Colne, then prob stick to PureGym. Oh another thing, you can't check how busy it is via the app which is key if you planning to travel some distance. Still five stars from me.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town

Fantastic experience: I'm a GA at JD Gyms Blackburn. I can't wait for this to be open. Will definitely be training over there to . I believe there will be a pendulum squat machine

Fantastic experience: can't wait.
