Shocking gym classes keep getting cut all the time time for under performing but most of them are full they just want the Pts to do them cause it saves money but they are not good at all. The time table is shocking not one class at the weekend! It is so dirty it I’m suprised it has not been shut down for health and safety. The machine are old and half broken. Hi can a gym allow people in to train in crocs and sandals well jd bolton do mind boggling!

JD Gym Bolton is absolutely terrible

JD Gym Bolton is absolutely terrible. There is very little equipment, the place is not cleaned properly, and many of the mirrors are broken. Overall, this gym is in poor condition and not worth the membership at all

Hi – Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we really appreciate your feedback.

It’s great to hear you’ve found the staff nice and helpful and that the changing rooms are okay 👍

We do understand how frustrating it can be when the gym is very busy and equipment is out of order. Our gyms are very popular, especially at peak times, but this can fluctuate throughout the day.

In terms of equipment, our teams carry out regular maintenance checks and work with engineers to get any faults resolved as quickly as possible, but we appreciate how disruptive it can be while items are unavailable.

Thanks again for your honest feedback – it really helps us continue to improve the experience for all our members 💪

Jd Gyms stay clear

They reply after reading the review although managed to speak to a manager and email was already sent to them however received a message saying they cannot do anything . I had used the iPad at the gym to put my plate number in but they have just passed the buck . Useless reply as obviously the review not read properly nor have they looked at anything . The company and the parking company are all in it together . Useless also the parking company without sending me a reply to my message to them sent it to debt collectors . I have paid the fine however will make sure I never use the Gym again . After escalation I have had a call from the area manager whom also was totally unhelpful just passing the buck to the Carpark owners . A resolution would have been simple but these companies not interested.

Hi – Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we really appreciate your feedback.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience with the parking and how this has been handled. We understand how frustrating this must be.

The car parks at many of our gyms are managed by third‑party companies, which does mean we have limited control over fines and the processes they follow. However, we’re sorry that this hasn’t been clearly communicated or that you feel your concerns haven’t been properly looked into.

Your feedback will be passed on internally, as we’re always looking at how we can improve in situations like this.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Barrier issue and poor ventilation

To start with, the scanning barrier at the entrance is very difficult to use and very frustrating. Please can it be made easier for the users of the facility. Another major issue in the building is poor ventilation. I've been sick ever since i went their and never gone back since. I'm thinking of asking for my money back to be honest. Please improve these things if you really care about your customers.
