JD Gyms Belfast

Fantastic experience: Super

Fantastic experience: Getting busy lol

Fantastic experience: So impressed very clean and there is everything and more

Positive experience: Really could do with a face life. The place is a mess. I prefer Home Bargains.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. More equipment than most will understand or use and it's open 24hrs

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable gym, staff are amazing, abundance of gym equipment, manager is an utter legend, would give the gym more than 5star .

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean gym with lots of free weights and equipments. Utilized this facility when I was visiting Belfast.

Positive experience: I would say great gym but staff definitely need to be more active about some people who seat on a machine for about 20 minutes to just use a phone and dont let other people use it either

Fantastic experience: Overall a very good gym, great range of equipment, good atmosphere, never had to wait for a piece of cardio equipment, you might have to wait for a specific machine or rack to free up at peak times... but it's a £25pm gym, there are going to be compromises. As for the sweat on the machines? Yeah sometimes, at peak times when someone leaves a piece of equipment and someone else jumps on a minute later... the staff aren't ninjas, there's only so much they can do. It doesn't bother me. Again, it's a £25pm gym, there are compromises to be made, they can only afford so many staff. The management responded elsewhere that we should find a staff member to come take care of the issue, this is a bigger hassle than just having spray, blue roll, and a bin available. The music can be a little loud during peak times, I get that the owners are trying to create an atmosphere (which they do successfully), but a couple of db lower would be nice. This is a minor gripe, I'm just going to buy noise cancelling headphones to solve the problem. Overall it's a great gym, if I want a better gym I can pay more money and go somewhere else. The complaints in these reviews don't seem to realise that at £25pm there are going to be compromises. This is the best gym in Belfast at this price point.

Negative experience: I left a comment about the gym not having cleaning spray bottles and wipes like most other gyms so each person can clean the handles of the machines as they go, I've seen many complaints about that yet you give a generic response everytime, who could be bothered to keep going to a staff member to ask can you wipe the handles for me every time you want to use a different machine, do you not take on board customer feedback? clearly you don't care so your losing members for that reason, maybe actually put spray bottle stations around the gym with dry wipes to spray and use that would be the solution, just wipe the sweat off with a towel yeah right thats gross god knows who's been touching it.

Negative experience: Just joined but not for me. Gross no wipes or spray to clean the machines as you go, that's a basic, lockers rooms to small, does look good though, also no mats or places to lay down and do exercises.

Positive experience: Very spacious & not too busy at 2pm compared to early mornings. I just wish the PT'S would maybe go around & interact with more users. I would definitely recommend this gym 100%

Fantastic experience: Good gym with good equipment

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym near to the house. I love using the facilities here. It is so much worth it to have this gym membership.

Negative experience: As a regular gym-goer, I had high hopes for JD Gyms in Belfast. While it certainly looks the part with its fancy lights and an impressive array of cardio equipment, there are some disappointing issues that really stand out. First and foremost, the lack of spray and paper towels to wipe down equipment is a major let down. Basic hygiene is essential in any gym, and not having the means to clean equipment is really off-putting. This alone would make me reconsider keeping my membership. Secondly, the air conditioning is practically non-existent. On a day when it was 13°C outside, it felt like they had the heat on inside, making the atmosphere uncomfortable and stuffy. Working out in such conditions is far from ideal. The equipment, while decent in some areas, is lacking in others. There's only one fly machine, which is disappointing. They do have a good amount of cable machines and other equipment, but overall, there’s nothing that really sets this gym apart from others in the area. In short, don’t be drawn in by the aesthetics or the abundance of cardio machines. The basics, like hygiene and comfort, just aren’t up to par. Sadly, I’d rate it 2 out of 5.

Positive experience: Positive and active

Fantastic experience: Great gym with lots of machines and classes, like others try to avoid the Rush hours and you will be fine!!

Positive experience: This gym could easily be the best in Belfast, but there are a few issues. The music is so loud that even with headphones, it's impossible to hear your own music. The WiFi never works, and the mobile signal inside is weak. My friend was also locked out because he forgot to buy data, and the app wouldn't generate a QR code due to the WiFi being down. If these issues are addressed, I'll happily update this review to 5 stars. Update: Gyms music has been reduced and WiFi as now working properly. Happy to provide 5 stars! Second and final update: music still too loud.

Fantastic experience: Modern

Positive experience: Good gym equipment wise but they need to sort the air conditioning out as it's genuinely the worst gym I've been to and I've felt like I'm going to pass out several times from the sheer heat inside.

Negative experience: Too crowded and warm, no tissues in gym

Positive experience: It’s an unreal gym with plenty of equipment so you can always get on what you want to complete your workout. The only criticism is the air con is terrible, even on the milder days the gym feels like they have the heating on. Not the best when you’re already sweating but with the added heat of the gym you feel like you’re training in the tropics. Something needs to be done about it asap!

Negative experience: Came to a few classes for the instructor not to show up. Very disappointing and unprofessional

Positive experience: Nice gym

Positive experience: Way to warm for any major cardio but a nice big gym otherwise

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful staff

Fantastic experience: I've never been inside the doors of JDs but it was a life saver for me and my partner. On a recent visit to Belfast from the Rep of Ireland in our EV car we stopped nearby JDs to charge our car. I did not realise that both our phone plans did not include roaming data in the North so we could not open the app to allow the car to charge. JDs guest WiFi saved us We connected, charged and were on our way in no time. Thank you JDs

Fantastic experience: Amazing

Fantastic experience: Outstanding facility & 24hrs, kept immaculately clean. Clean changing rooms & shower facilities.

Negative experience: I seriously don't recommend this gym 1 time entrance so if u need to grab ur towel from ur car for example if u forget sorry u can't get back in pretty stupid for a business claiming to be 24 hours when it's not really 24 hours open technically and when u try get help "oh thank you how can we help with this" like that's all that's said and don't try ring them its like listening to television static for a big gym you would think they could afford a decent phone for customers to ring apparently not?

Negative experience: No signs asking clients to unrack and return plates or dumbbells. The first part of my workout is tidying someone's mess. No cleaning spray or paper towels to wipe down equipment, which is common in most gyms. Many benches covered in previous users sweat. Changing rooms are tiny, ridiculously small. If there is a class in the studio then no area to stretch after a workout. Worst of all is the management replies on Google reviews to negative comments. Nothing is ever addressed, just a sarcastic thank you.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with loads of equipment

Negative experience: Gym with a huge variety of equipment. Although, extremely crowded! Really tough to plan a workout in advance as you have to see what's available at the time. Very , very disappointed with the membership cancellation system. I've been trying to cancel my membership as I'm not happy, and all I got was an email saying to wait up to 21 days. How can a gym basically try to force you to stay if you're not satisfied?! I would to receive a response from JD ASAP , to resolve this matter.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Would 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Great Gym and Cheap for the facilities they have. Changing rooms are a bit small for when it's busy but if you can avoid the busy times it's perfect.

Positive experience: The gym is great. Loads of equipment ,but was disappointed by one of the classes I attended. The trainer did not even make an effort to demonstrate the exercises. Imagine it's first time going for the class. She just stood there and gave instructions. Seem not to be interested in what she was doing. No motivation towards the participants.

Positive experience: Great gym and loads of equipment, however I think the machines haven't been cleaned from its opened. I've seen staff empty bins but never seen anything wiped. Also at 5-7 it can be a bit crowed but other than that great gym and I'll still be using it.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy Zumba class with Shalia

Negative experience: Equipment is never cleaned before or after use by gym members or staff. Me and my friends have all got ringworm as a result of using this place. Absolutely disgusting.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with the perfect layout and great equipment.

Fantastic experience: Good but overcrowded

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym I just need to attend it more often

Fantastic experience: the best gym in north Belfast by far !!!!!

Positive experience: Great gym busy everytime ive been, hopeful it settles down a little once the 5 pound offer stops

Fantastic experience: Great gym with fantastic equipment little bit to busy but still highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Fantastic. Great staff and very friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly atmosphere and a great range of equipment!

Negative experience: Far too busy all the time. Spend most of the time waiting for people to finish with machines

Positive experience: Amazing gym. Would be 5 stars if you made people put their weights back. Dumbells and plates all over the place.

Positive experience: Big and contemporary gym. Although it can't handle the amount of people that are attending. The gym between 4pm and 10pm is at max capacity. I came in at 4am, it was quiet. At 6am people are starting to pile in (like any other gym). There is no enforcement for people putting back the weights after they're done with them, it creates a huuuge mess. You can't find the plates/ weightings you're looking for and you don't know if the machine is still in use or not. Due to the amount of children (16/17 years old) the gym is in mayhem. Kids sitting on machines (not resting between sets or anything) giggling, sitting on each others lap. It's frustrating for people that already struggle to find machines to use. For the price you pay, its a nice enough gym. Although its quite inconvenient if you don't live close by to just check in the capacity at the giving time.

Fantastic experience: Very modern and spacious gym. Lots of machines to use, a lot of squat racks, and functional area with all necessary equipment. Big Cardio section with plenty of treadmills Sauna. A lot of free parking space. Staff is friendly and helpful. Very big studio. Good selection of music in goo volume. ...

Positive experience: This is a good gym but having been testing different times between 3pm and 6pm my son and I have struggled to get weights equipment/stations and have been standing about. It has been very busy between these hours and we have ended up leaving. Can anyone recommend less busy timeslots from their experience so far?

Positive experience: Good amount of equipment

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM IN BELFAST BY A MILE! This super-mega gym is easily the most equipped facility in the area. Firstly, it's massive and the pictures aren't lying - there's enough equipment here for everyone - even at peak times. The first thing you'll notice is the ultra modern décor, very much 'death star', but it kinda works. The cardio area is massive and they even have an area specifically for training legs and glutes with the funky square lights (very popular with ladies). The Eleiko functional and weightlifting areas have amazing kit and the weights area, whilst it looks tiny, actually spans half of the lower floor - but you'd never know because it's 'hidden' away from the more visible areas of the gym. I think they do this to keep the 'bodybuilder types' from intimidating other gym goers? Upstairs, you'll find the class studio which hold many of it's classes (but no spin bikes or spin classes), and the changing rooms are cool too - both have saunas in them for post workout recovery. It's open 24 hours a day 7 days a week and you get unlimited free parking too. Have a look around if you're not sure about joining, but I guarantee you won't find a better deal than this place.

Positive experience: No music at night time ! Very awkward atmosphere to be totally honest! Gym looks great but a little music wouldn’t hurt anyone

Fantastic experience: One of the best gym I ever went to the equipments I use in the gym is always there for me to but everyone at JD gyms done a fantastic job getting it all set up

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, went for first day today. Wide variety of equipment. Lovely staff and facilities Hope to see the standards stay consistent!
