Great gym to go to
Great gym to go to! Very clean, tidy and modern.
Only negatives are that it needs more equipment and it’s full of kids. The app would be more useful if you could see how busy it was

I have been going to this gym for a few years now and cannot fault this place the staff are fantastic, it's always clean and the facilities are excellent. I do as many classes as I can with the amazing Jenny Step she is by far the most encouraging instructor ever and makes every class a pleasure to be in. Her classes are fun, welcoming and full of the loveliest people who all support each other, we have had the best time trying out the new JD burn classes this week and Jenny has been so amazing with us all. Can't wait to get back to it next week

JD is far and away the best gym in the area, I go to classes almost every day with Jenny Step, the energy she brings to a class is amazing, I have tried classes with other instructors in the past but she is second to non and always has a smile on her face. I have tried the new jd burn classes this week and love them, although I'm aching now!
The facilities are always clean and the staff are really friendly and helpful. A** highly recommended

Great new class
Just took part in the new Burn Strength today with Jenny as my first class after a break from the gym. I can honestly say this class is amazing and Jenny as always taught the class fab, very professional, friendly and keeping us all motivated to do our best. Will be doing it again and will try the other Burn classes in the near future too.

I have always liked JD and have been a member in the past. I recently joined again due to the selection of classes however after my recent body pump class I was reminded why I left. The class was done in a dark studio so you couldn't really see what you were doing and they plates are a nightmare to get on and off the bar during a fast paced class. Not ideal

I am 74 year old and my daughter supervises me at the gym. On my registration, I was told she will be allowed to come in and help me but will have to be filling out the health and safety form. This is the thirds time we came after registration and she got turned away. We asked if an instructor can train with me while my daughter waits outside and the manager refused. He advised that we cancel my membership. This is sad.

Great gym
Great gym got loads of equipment and genuinely no downsides. Has a sauna which I have never seen be full and unlike many other gyms has a t bar row which is a massive bonus. The 16+ requirement is abit annoying for anyone under 16 which I have experienced first hand but is a gym I would recommend switching to when the age requirements are met or just for anyone over 16. Workers are very helpful and make the experience better and keep the gym very tidy. Overall best gym I’ve ever been to and would definitely recommend to anyone who currently goes or anyone that wants to go to the gym as it has friendly prices, many facilities, friendly workers, loads of classes on offer and is open 24 hours a day.

Gym is great
Gym is great, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The only place in the men's changing room to shave has a mirror with the urinals directly behind which is not ideal for shavers or people peeing. A little bit more thought would have went a long way. Small price to pay for what is otherwise a brilliant gym.
