Good gym but ventilation and cleanliness need improving
The gym itself is decent and has good equipment, but the ventilation and cleanliness really need improving. When I walk into the gym, there’s often a noticeable unpleasant smell straight away, and at times the whole place can feel quite stuffy, especially during busy hours. It feels like there isn’t enough airflow or fresh air circulating around the gym. Better ventilation and more regular cleaning would make a big difference to the overall environment and experience. Other than that, the gym is generally fine and has everything you need for a workout.

Gym equipment not working
Gym equipment not working, no security in the building, men are vaping inside of the building, there is bad odour in the building not very nice to inhale. Hygiene is poor.

Equipment Not Managed & Sauna Needs Cleaning
the clips/weights are often not in their proper place, which makes it difficult to find equipment and disrupts workouts. Additionally, there is a bad smell in the sauna/bath area, and it clearly needs better cleaning and maintenance

It does not say anywhere on website that sauna was not 24 hours. Did not like gym layout, it really felt archaic and dim. Definitely not going back

Visited JD Gym in Birmingham and won’t be going back. The layout makes no sense – equipment feels crammed in and it’s hard to move around when it’s busy and the overall atmosphere just felt chaotic.
For a big-name gym you’d expect better organisation and upkeep. Really disappointing experience

I went to JD gyms before the refurb and I really enjoyed the amount of weights in the women’s section. Upon my return, most of the weights/machines have been taken out of the ladies section and replaced with treadmills. I am very disappointed because I enjoy lifting and don’t want to have to go in the main gym to do it. That’s what sold JD gyms to me in the first place.

Hello – Thank you for leaving a review. We’d be keen to find out what equipment you'd like to see in the ladies section. If you’d like to let us know your feedback/suggestions, please send an email to the manager on birmingham@jdgyms.co.uk
