No AC in 30°C heat? You trying to kill your members? If the AC broken at least put up a notice somewhere. I finished my session and stepped outside into 28°C and it literally felt cold compared to inside the building

Cannot train to max as there is very little or no aircon.

No Ac in the gym in this weather
No Ac in the gym in this weather! Why would you not have the Air Conditioning on with temperatures as high as we are experiencing?
I started a training program around 6 weeks ago and want it to continue but cannot stay in the gym due to air conditioning being non existent!
Also, after a refurb and increasing gym membership, why do we still have broken rusty equipment that is constantly out of use and takes ages to be repaired ?

Hello – Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We’re sorry to hear about your experience.
Regarding the air conditioning, we completely appreciate how important this is—particularly during warmer weather. While we do have systems in place to regulate the temperature and will ensure your feedback is passed on so this can be reviewed.
We’re also disappointed to hear about the condition of some equipment. Our teams do carry out regular maintenance checks and work closely with our equipment providers to resolve issues as quickly as possible, however we understand how frustrating it is when equipment is out of use.
We really appreciate you raising this with us, as member feedback like this is important in helping us improve the experience we provide.

Good but could easily be better
The overall set up of the gym is great but there are a couple of things that could make it better.
Not all the equipment is working properly & if it’s not working, there’s no sign on it to say a member of staff has acknowledged it & are trying to get it repaired.
There’s not enough clips on the ropes for the sleds in the Hyrox studio.
The air runners don’t have new batteries in the screens for them to work properly.
The wall balls are old, falling apart & aren’t even the right shape anymore.
There’s only 2 boxes for functional training for the entire gym.
The sleds in the Hyrox studio are the ones with the huge pole sticking out the middle so you can’t actually use them as you would in a Hyrox race.
The staff member I spoke to didn’t even leave his seat to help me when I asked him some questions about equipment.
If there’s a way to report issues with the equipment to get it fixed, can someone let us know? It’s a good gym otherwise, I just want to make it a bit better for everyone.

5 of the 8 cable machines are now not fully working, the abductor machine still faulty calf machine now out of order numerous other things still faulty and the bucket of urine still going strong in the gents . JD are asking who I am ? Why are they asking for my details , it's not as if what I am saying is false. Is it because they don't like being criticised and want to stop me.

Hi – Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we really appreciate your feedback.
We’re really sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you’ve raised, as this isn’t the standard we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating it is when multiple pieces of equipment are out of order and not resolved quickly, especially when it’s affecting a large part of your workout.
We’re also particularly concerned to hear about the cleanliness issue in the gents – this is not acceptable and will be escalated to the gym team.
In terms of being asked for your details, this is only so the team can investigate specific concerns more thoroughly and ensure the right actions are taken in the right club. It’s never about disregarding feedback, and we do take all comments seriously.
Thank you again for your honest feedback – it really helps us identify where improvements are needed.

The gym is very accessible and has good facilities, especially since the new glute zone has been added. I do have an issue however with the cleanliness of the gym. There was recently a needle on the floor outside the men’s changing rooms which my partner handed into staff as this was incredibly unsafe. The women’s changing rooms are often an issue as there is almost never any toilet roll or the sanitary bins are overflowing with sanitary products places on the floor by other gym users which is extremely unhygienic! There also always seems to be a group of younger people vaping around the gym which I’ve noticed now on various occasions. I think to improve the gym staff need to be stricter with stopping this and improve the overall cleanliness.

I’ve been endurance athlete training…
I’ve been endurance athlete training coming up to 8 years, I have used all kinds of gyms from independents to every brand name gym in the UK. JD keeps me coming back, I find it had a good all round on equipment, especially since the refurbishment, there are a great range of PT’s, classes, but most importantly for me clientele. I love how on any given day at any given time you can visit and there are always a mixed range of size, shapes, abilities and training styles. I find the staff to be friendly & helpful. As a single, tiny 5ft 1 8st female I do not find this gym intimidating or uncomfortable like I’ve experienced at other gyms and I regularly do reccomend to friends.

Gym is fine
Gym is fine. Male toilets however hasn’t had hand soap since I joined, the toilet cleaning checklist sheet has been signed every hour, every day although that’s not being filled?
In a gym of all places that should be paramount.

Women’s toilets issue
I’ve had no issue with the gym itself but the women’s toilets are mad. Majority of the time there’s no soap (esp when hitting peak hours later in the day) which is filthy in a gym, like 2 of the doors don’t work (can’t shut) and when one does shut there’s a massive gap so anyone could see you. Think maybe there’s a lack of cleaners too because they’re always running out of toilet roll.
