Nice January promotion. Gym is well stocked. However, too busy. Couldn't get near the equipment. Impersonal. Not very welcoming. Walked in and made it clear it was my first time as just joined.... See more

JD Gym Barnsley Review

I love the machines within the gym and the amount of machines makes it easier for me to jump from one machine to another. Also, the saunas are a great addition allowing me to relax after workouts. However, the dumbbells are never placed back in the correct order so it makes it a little difficult to find 2 of the same Dumbbell. This goes for the weights aswell, they are similarly not often placed back. Finally, some of the machines dont have pins, i know this isnt your fault but you could try implement an anti-steal for your machines (some machines do have this but not all)

Hello - Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. We understand how frustrating it can be and would advise speaking to a member of staff on the gym floor should you notice any members not putting the equipment back.

Great gym and staff

The gyms facilities are great, there’s a variety of machines and training types. It’s also always very clean and the changing rooms are always spotless. My personal trainer (Ellie Ingham) is amazing - she’s super friendly and always adapts but pushes you to suit your needs!

JD Barnsley is my home

I love JD gym Barnsley. I joined over 3 years ago and since then the gym has become more than a place to workout it's a safe space with friendly staff who make it feel like home.
Ellie is my PT and she goes above and beyond for not only me but all members of the gym she has a passion to make JD the best place to train and give honest, friendly and helpful advice. She takes pride in the gym with moving left equipment cleaning up mess, always ensuring the gym is kept to a high standard. If I could give one bit of advice it would be that over the past 3 month the cleanliness of the toilet's/ changing area on a morning hasn't been kept up

Not enough parking

Not enough parking, spent 20 minutes driving round waiting for a space. The gym was busy which was made much worse with most of the machines missing there pins. Then on leaving at about 8pm the car park was pitch black as there were no lights on.

I really like the new glute area…

I really like the new glute area offering more equipment besides traditional machines you’d find in any other gym. Hybrid area is great too for CrossFit. On the downside, it gets busy with lots of hoggers on their phones. Gym often looks messy with equipment all over the place, missing weight pins etc, but I supposed it’s meant to happen in practically unstaffed gym that’s open 24/7.

Parking: excellent and ample parking facilities

Parking: excellent and ample parking facilities. Entry and exit through smart app
Gym itself is lavishly equipped with a wide variety of gym equipment including free weights, plate loading and slot loading machines, various CV equipment, in many ways overkill.
Gym ambience itself is v pleasant with co-operative gym staff in attendance
Clean spacious changing room and toilet facilities

Barnsley’s branch have mostly untrue…

Barnsley’s branch have mostly untrue classes schedule. When you go to something 8 time out of 10 no coach shows up. They have messed up classes times and everything. Even after feedback was given to the people working in the branch 10 days later the timetable is still wrong and all over the place. This is very very frustrating!

Great Gym/ App Needs Improvement

Its a great gym but oh my days the App is awful like so bad why am i only allowed to come in once and then when i try to come in for a second time the app won’t let me scan myself in. On top of that the app is just genuinely ass in general because compared to other gym apps i can’t even check how many people are in the gym, and i can’t check how many times i have been to the gym.
