JD Gyms - Sheffield South Reviews 

Been trying to quit for a couple of days had no reply, wanting to leave due to the amount of under 16s that attend the location im at aswell as the fact that it’s treated more like a hang out spot rather then a gym with large groups of people fully dressed not working out laughing and messing around all the equipment

As someone who goes before work, it's great to have a 24-hr option. Although the door says to use a code before 6am and I don't have one (the scanner appears to work, though)

I'm liking the variety of equipment although there's often a lack of attachments for the machines, which is surprising as I understand a lot of new ones have been installed recently.

Assistance button for staff goes usually unanswered, literally a queue of people stuck waiting to get in everytime I'm leaving it seems.
The weights are always left lying around, seems there's no rules to enforce people respecting the gym and others.
It also feels like it's taken on too many members because it feels at capacity so often.

While I like the lower ceiling and light a/c in the weights section, it's like trying to lift weights in a dim night club.

The Rotherham gym is like a sauna in summer but at least there's members of staff keeping on top of order somewhat.

Also half the lockers have been kicked in, and the urinal layout is dead weird where it's bang next to the sinks.

I've just transferred clubs to here but I'm strongly considered going over to foundry just up the road instead.

I love the space!
Lots of variety, plenty of cardio options, and lots of kit.

Changing rooms are equally spacious and very clean.

Downsides are water fountain is kinda warm, the weight plates and dumbbells are always disorganised and messy.

Big enough . staff very professional and friendly.

Very impeccable reception, well equipped and very fun place to be for both my body and social life. My first time being in a proper gym and I’m enjoying it.

Equipment - only 1 ski erg in all of the gym

3 bikes screens not working and 2 x rowers digitals screens not working.

2 treadmills not operational.

JD app temperamental to load the QR to access the site.

My daughter joined the gym in December and wasn’t able to gain access from the get go we tried calling multiple times emailed and used the contact form to try to cancel and thought it should have been but 6 months later it’s still ongoing, nobody replies to the contact form nobody answers the phone when we’ve been down there and pressed the button to find a staff member repeatedly it took 30 mins of waiting before somebody appears and he said to email again absolutely useless! Having worked in gyms this is so unsafe if someone falls, has a heart attack or gets attacked it’s so dangerous and negligent how the hell this place is still open and they obviously don’t change anything after reading multiple bad reviews I don’t know how to get my money back or even cancel this stupid thing. They need to use the massive amount of money they take off punters to employ staff at the very least

It's not all that.... equipments are old, left over from when it was exercise4less gym. Could do with a full modernisation across all gym machines, plates, dumbbells, the lot.

There are plenty of equipment and weights , don't like the boxing bags in corner ,they should be upstairs .
Its too dark in the weights section and difficult for people who wear glasse .
Rest is good .

Absolutely amazing met loads of amazing people and mad work out experience! Well worth the money an only a tenna for first month to get first impression and decide whether it's for you or not but I definitely recommend as I can guarantee you won't regret it what ya waiting fa join the family! 👊🏼💚

We visited for a day ticket. The initial welcome was ok but it went downhill from there.
Free weights - unable to find any middle kg - random cluttered weights and nothing between 4 and 12 kg. Plate weights were just as bad with them scattered all over the place. There was litter around, plastic bottles left around and a general sense of uncleanliness. Any gym support was nonexistent and I wonder what ratio of time should be spent on the floor versus in the office. Toilet and sanitary box overflowing. Generally unkempt although if cleaned well the changing facilities were quite modern.

The gym facilities and equipment great lots to use and not over busy
Only gripe so far booked paid for a pt hes now cancelled twice on me

no:-1 There is no security, any buddy steal the bag from the changing room, management dit not take any actions,
Instead of taking action they blame the victim.
For example if someone sells a drugs in side the gym that means management they support the criminals because they can not take responsibility so that means any buddy can do anything in side the changing room right?

No:-2 not good experience with gym trainers he not gives proper answer infect he ignored new gym members that's not how to treat people.

the place is very unhygienic. you can see toothpicks, cottonbuds, chewing gum etc on the floor
the gym seems not to have been clean for a long time

The Sheffield South branch of JD gyms is spacious, with good lighting, great speakers and music, air conditioned and has duplicates of weight machines and benches, helping to ensure everyone can go at their own pace when exercising without disrupting others. However, weights on the dumbbell racks seemed to be frequently unorganised, many of which seem to be missing. In some cases I have had to spend a few minutes looking for the right set. For example, when looking for the 16 KG and the 18 KG, one pair was near the smaller weights, another near the heavier weights. This has happened on a few occasions. This could easily be resolved by having more PT’s/Staff available on the floor, ensuring equipment is maintained properly. Another example could be that several ropes/handles could be added to the cable areas of the gym, some of which have seen better days, and some handles may have been stolen. On a lighter note, the gym offers good facilities for a variety of training requirements, ranging from callisthenics to more aerobic and endurance based training. The changing rooms are generally very clean and spacious also.

It’s got a good atmosphere .plenty of equipment

Okay gym. The machines are old and need an update. Please JD get your wallet out and upgrade the equipment.
