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.

Hi – Thanks for leaving us some feedback. Our gym teams do undertake regular maintenance checks and work hard with our equipment providers to ensure that our equipment is fixed as soon as possible, if any should become broken. We are equally as disappointed when this happens. If you do have any concerns , please notify staff on site as soon as you can.
Thank you, The JD Gyms Team 💚

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.

JD Gym Barnsley Review

I love the machines within the gym and the amount of machines makes it easier for me to jump from one machine to another. Also, the saunas are a great addition allowing me to relax after workouts. However, the dumbbells are never placed back in the correct order so it makes it a little difficult to find 2 of the same Dumbbell. This goes for the weights aswell, they are similarly not often placed back. Finally, some of the machines dont have pins, i know this isnt your fault but you could try implement an anti-steal for your machines (some machines do have this but not all)

Great gym and staff

The gyms facilities are great, there’s a variety of machines and training types. It’s also always very clean and the changing rooms are always spotless. My personal trainer (Ellie Ingham) is amazing - she’s super friendly and always adapts but pushes you to suit your needs!
