JD Gyms - Blackburn Reviews 

As someone completely new to the gym, this has been an amazing experience. The staff are so friendly and the facilities are nice and well-kept. The vibe and aesthetic is well constructed and I have enjoyed my experience so far. I am actually excited to exercise which is crazy ?!!

Great Gym nice stuff beautiful place comfortable like my home😊

Can people and staff not put there equipment away. This is without doubt the most poorly managed gym I've ever been to.

Gents toilets are not the cleanest.
Weights left lying around, by members and PTs which is a health and safety issue. Air-conditioning is none existent, its like training in a sauna.

Is a very good gym very nice people and nice to toke yo if u need any advice or anything

The gym is great, the house keeping is poor. People fail to put their weights away, and the staff turn a blind eye to it. I've seen females struggle to take 400kg plus off the leg press, its wrong and management need to enforce gym etiquette.

Like minded people good staff helped me a lot on my 1st ever gym session looking forward to do it again

Easy to join, plenty equipment. Nicely set out. Comfortable place to do a work out with no judgement from anyone. Good atmosphere.

I’ve just joined this gym and couldn’t be happier! It’s got a great vibe—clean, well-equipped, and welcoming—but the real game-changer has been my personal trainer, Jake Taylor. He’s motivating without being pushy, seriously knowledgeable, and somehow makes every session both challenging and fun (yes, it’s possible!).

I’ve already started seeing and feeling the difference in just a few weeks. If you’re looking for real results with a trainer who actually listens, supports, and pushes you in all the right ways—Jake’s your guy.

Highly recommend both the gym and Jake for anyone ready to take their fitness seriously!

Nice gym love it

If I leave the gym to retrieve something from the car I get locked out and I cannot re enter

What a brilliant gym so easy to scan your bar code at the doors, love how it had a ladys bit and a bigger gym downstairs that has everything you need

I have mentioned this before to JD staff, you have womens only gym but no womens only classes! Please start this.
Also kettlebells only till 20kg in womens gym. Need higher weight. Hip extension machine.

Testimonial – 9 Months with PT Adrian @ Blackburn Gym

Back in August 2024, I began 1:1 personal training with Adrian to improve my fitness and help manage my borderline high blood pressure. Fast forward 9 months, and I’m genuinely loving the journey!

Not only have I seen major improvements in my fitness, but my blood pressure has also dropped significantly—something I’m incredibly proud of. Each session is the perfect mix of fun and challenging, and I actually look forward to training 2–3 times a week.

Adrian keeps me motivated, and we’ve already set exciting new personal goals to hit before the 12-month mark. The entire team at Blackburn gym is supportive and brings great energy—making every visit a positive experience.

I'm thrilled with the results, but even more so with the health benefits. Thank you, Adrian!

I attend jd gyms in blackburn
I mostly okay with everything at the gym I work out in the womens section apart from the fact that it's small (which can't be helped and i dont mind) I didn't have any issues till today (21st April 2025 8pm)
I understand that male workers sometimes need to come in for maintenance and cleaning which I'm okay with they do shout that a male worker is coming in before entering and up until today they've been respecting boundaries

However today a male staff member entered with 2 girls who were not staff members and from the way they behaved they looked like they knew the male staff member beforehand
He was not there for cleaning or maintaining rather he came to help the girls with assisted pull ups and spend unreasonably long giggling and joking and basically hanging out in the females area
I just find this a bit ridiculous and unprofessional it's a female only area for a reason I felt very uncomfortable and I could tell on other women's faces they did too

Not happy about today at all and I might reconsider continuing here if jd gym considers this okay

Helpful and friendly
I found the staff courteous friendly, annd more than happy to give you a tour of the gym.

the music is too loud for me to hear through my ear phones
