More changing room seating required
Taking advantage of the multiple gyms membership, on using the gym at Benton I found the changing rooms a bit lacking in the seating areas, plenty of space for not being utilized that could be used for extra seating, other than that no issues👍

I have been to cancel my membership for 3 months they have no record of me or can't find me with the limited every aspect of my information and finger print.yet take the payment for the account I apparently don't have. it takes weeks for a response from a npc all the while taking a month's money for 1 maybe 2 emails .They literally don't have or have lost my account and go on about data protection.Terrible customer service.

Good value for money
Been a member of JD Benton for over 5 years now. Good selection of machines and free weights.
Generally good clean facilities and changing rooms. Only issue is smell and regularly slow drainage if showers especially at busy times.
Friendly staff

I am writing this review to warn…
I am writing this review to warn potential customers of a little trick this company uses to get people through the door. I was told I could “return” as a customer without a signing on fee and it would “only cost me £10 for the month”. There are no contracts, no ties in, just £10 for the first month and if I don’t like it, I can walk away. Brilliant, I’ll give it a shot.
However, when I came to cancel after a couple of weeks, to avoid paying the £29.99 for the next month and onwards, I was informed via generic message that “it can take up to 30 days to action this, as JD Gyms admin are very busy”.
Of course, they didn’t action it in time, the two weeks before my next payment came and went, and I was indeed charged £29.99 for the second month that I didn’t want.
The gym is brilliant in all fairness. If you’re looking for a gym, I would have recommended these, but not now. If you’re going to sign up to these offers, please understand that you are committed for at least another month, or perhaps longer due to how busy JD Gyms admin apparently are!
I feel like I’ve been cheated out of £29.99 to be honest. Poor.

JD Newcastle, the showers are awful, not clean whatsoever, the drains are always blocked. The cleaneness of the women's changing rooms are rotten. We've seen the cleaner come in, do her eyebrows not clean anything and then sign the paper to say it's been cleaned. The equipment is the same tired equipment from when it was Exercise for less but the monthly price is a lot higher. Other gyms within the JD group are alot better.
