JD Gyms - Salford Reviews 

The overall cleanliness and maintenance of the gym are satisfactory, however, due to its limited size and number of machines, there are often queues to complete a workout. The membership fee is significantly higher compared to competitors, yet it does not offer any unique or differentiating features to justify the premium pricing.

The quality of the equipment is comparable to some competitors but falls short in comparison to others. At this price point, JD Gyms faces direct competition from NRG, which offers lower-priced memberships and arguably superior quality machines.

Layout of the gym is terrible. All weights full of men, should be a women’s only timezone so women can also have some time to go on the weight machines

this gym was the best i’ve been to it’s very clean and the gym equipment is good also there was a sanaa which was new and i got to try it out

Really hot showers burns skin needs to be calibrated

Too much quantity of people rather than quality of service for customers.
Overly busy worse than a nightclub. Equipment left everywhere and you can’t get on most things. No dumbbells match they’re left half way across the gym. It’s like speed

Decent gym. Only been twice so far but its impressive. The machines are a bit...well used but there are plenty of the popular ones so you don't have to wait for one to be free.

The studio is lovely 😍 and the 'burn' studio space is spot on! The dim lighting is a welcome change of mood.

Signed up as trial but it's lookin like a keeper 😊

Great all staff helpful and friendly nice an clean gym.

JD Gym is terrible I paid £25 fee for 1 month as its mentioned no contract I cancelled direct debit they stopped my gym access immediately what about my whole month membership? Terrible

The stuff was super nice and really helped me to get settled in my new gym!

Good equipment but you’ll never get to use any of it. There must have been at least 500 people in a space meant for 100.
No warning on the app about number of people there right now.
No warnings when signing up about capacity at the location chosen. Nothing.
I walked in and within 30 seconds it was abundantly clear the only exercise I’d get to do was walking back home. Very frustrated with the whole experience.

There’s mould above the cold & second shower.
Too many unintelligent members pour water on to the “electric” component in the sauna.
Many members for some strange reason eat oranges etc In the sauna a leave their mess / empty water bottles behind.
The last time I used the sauna it was flooded, I was in the changing rooms for a lengthy time and not one member of staff come in to do any checks.

The gym is too small for the amount of people visiting, leading to a very cramped feeling.

Not enough machines, especially those in popular demand such as the pec fly machine.

The app could show the number of users in the gym currently which would be SO MUCH helpful.

I recently joined the gym and I felt some of the machine are not that maintained parts are moving that should be fixed as soon as possible that can be injurious to someone, otherwise everything is good

Always absolutely packed, takes ages to get on a machine and dirty old equipment. Expensive for what it is.

I liked the structure of the place, it was clean and nice.
I didn’t like that there was no one to do a gym induction and show me around. Luckily I have experience in a gym which is why it was fine. But it would be good to have someone show you around or even a YouTube video just so you’re not exploring it on your own. Still never been to the studio and spin spaces.
There could also be more mirrors in the place. Specially near the mats next to the stairs.
But overall a good gym, equipment is also of good quality so far.

Been to three classes with three different instructors, and not a single one asked if there were any new comers or if anyone had injuries - I've never been to a class before where this hasn't been asked. Surely this is negligence?
Classes also get cancelled often

I'm so happy to become JD gyms member. Many classes of your choice and you have everything you need. I'm really happy 😊

I only joined last week and that was easy and the deputy manager, Mert, was very helpful.
There’s a lot of equipment and it’s largely in good order but just a bit of maintenance on some of the equipment could convert this from a good gym to a great gym eg. Leg press and calf raise need looking at as the resistance is as much down to friction as the weights loaded.
Also, no sanitiser or cleaning towels anywhere.
Final request would be to get some signs up asking for members to restack weights. Get some accountability from them in helping make this a great club

Very clean and great classes, a lot to offer

The toilets that are usually available between 12am to 5am are out of order because someone broke off the toilet's flush handle. So now no one can go to the toilet if they need to, which can negatively impact the workout, as I can only go to the gym between 1am to 3am.

I tried to get the attention of staff, but when I knocked onto the office door, there was no answer. However as I was leaving the gym, the magnetic lock was engaged, but as I approached the door, I saw the magnetic lock unlock, meaning that someone from inside the office saw me on my way out and unlocked it for me, so why didn't they come out when I wanted to ask them if I could use the upstairs toilets, as this situation negatively impacted my workout and ultimately had to cut it shorter than usual.

The other night when I arrived there was an eardrum piercing alarm blaring inside the gym's main area. It was so loud that it could still be heard when I had earphones in and my music was on full blast. It was incredibly distracting and the alarm was still blaring the whole time that I was in the gym. Again, staff should usually be onsite, however, I don't understand why the alarm was going off for longer than an hour and a half. The sad thing is, I'm paying for this membership and the standards are far below what I'd expect, even though I'm going out of the peak hours, it's the only time that I can go at the moment.

Rating the gym 3/5 is very generous, even considering the negatives that I've experienced here, as the equipment is good enough to train what you need to, although even then, the numbers on the cable machines are rubbed off, the knobs for adjusting certain pieces of equipment have been taken off (most likely by certain members of the gym) and haven't been replaced.

I used to go to this gym 3-4 years ago and only recently joined again, and the standards have slipped heavily. The staff has had a turn over, but this shouldn't really be the excuse for the standards of management or maintenance of the gym dropping this low.

Regarding the toilets again, before they became out of order, the mess in the toilets (that was a problem, multiple nights in a row) was not being maintained or cleaned.
