JD Gyms - Sheffield South Reviews 

Great gym, a bit too busy at times but other than that really great. Please fix the hipthrust machine.

One of the best gym, One of the best equipment machine and Best Sauna. We need 2 more which is Steam room and jazzcui next stage now 😉👌

Lots of space, good new lockers and very nice variety of machines

I've been a member of JD Gym Sheffield for a number of years, and unfortunately the experience has steadily declined. One thing that stands out is the high turnover of staff, which often says a lot about how a place is run.
When the recent refurbishment was announced, I genuinely hoped things would improve. While some of the facilities look better, the same underlying issues remain, which has made the refurbishment feel like a missed opportunity.
For a gym with such a large membership base, finding a member of staff when you actually need one is incredibly difficult. Whether it's a problem with equipment or an issue in the facilities, staff are rarely visible on the gym floor. Equipment is often left lying around rather than being put back properly, creating a cluttered and sometimes unsafe environment.
I've also witnessed staff signing facility check sheets despite clearly not carrying out the checks they were recording, which raises concerns about standards and accountability.
The newly installed sauna is another example. On several recent visits it hasn't even been switched on, and once again there was nobody available to speak to or resolve the issue. It's frustrating to see investment in new facilities without the basic management needed to ensure they are actually available for members to use.
The ladies-only section also appears to be neglected compared to other areas of the gym. Equipment is often left untidy, maintenance issues can take time to be addressed, and it doesn't receive the same level of attention that members would reasonably expect.
With the number of members using the gym every day, standards of cleanliness, equipment management, facility checks, and staff presence should be much higher. The gym has good equipment and plenty of potential, but the lack of visible staff and poor day-to-day management continue to let it down. I genuinely thought the refurbishment would mark a turning point, but unfortunately my experience since then suggests otherwise.

Clean and good

Since I was last here, you have ungraded a lot of the machines and also installed a sauna in the men's changing area.
The one negative point has been the shower facilities. 2 showers out of action and the doors to the showers are not very good. However, that's minor

Great gym for everything. The Zumba class is the best mood lifting class and highly recommended the instructor of that class too. There’s more classes on offer too!!!

The music is abysmal and far too loud. I can still hear it through noise cancelling headphones. Cancelled my membership because of this.

Well equipped gym, even the cleaner was really helpful explaining things when we joined!

Good equipment, lots of stations so there's little to no waiting, clean facilities

Tried going to an induction, no staff around to help, no idea where the office is. They don't answer emails or calls. Waste of time and money. Can't wait to cancel.

Edit- tried pressing the buttons as instructed to get staff attention, again no response. No staff seen. Genuinely never seen any staff there ever.

One of the best gyms in Sheffield.
Loads of space and equipment.
Open 24 hours, boxing bags, classes, personal trainers and newly fitted sauna.

Great gym,great equipment...if only the hipthrust bar could be in a slightly more dignified place..women don't like to thrust in the centre spotlight

Toilets filthy
No instructors for classes several times

I really like that my JD gym branch has got more equipment this year.

I like the diversity of machines and the range of stuff you can do I also like the mirrors and then I like the pull up bars and the climbing rope next to it and I also like the fact everything is sorted into sections e.g treadmills, bench press

First week using this gym and i really enjoy it so far, only notes i would make are the fact the broken machines (rowing machine in women’s section) don’t have any signs to say they’re broken. Also male staff walking into the women’s section, might not bother me so much but i know there are hijabis/muslims that might not have a hijab on etc that would be uncomfortable for them. Besides that no complaints!

I don't have you Sauna
You don't have more than one bathroom2

Chloe is an asset to this Gym. Kind hated with great professionalism.
