Corrina is very helpful and always smiling 😁
The new refit is also really good and I was very impressed with how quickly they extended the ceiling so we could continue to use the stepper on 3rd floor.
Great gym, great vibe
Keep up the good work 💪🏾

Nothing special
Nothing
Special the place stinks, especially the changing rooms and the sauna room. the roof of the ladies on the ground floor is damaged. The toilets stink everytime I come.
The gym itself is alright
It’s okay if you are on a budget or if you live closer to the gym.

I am a doctor
I am a doctor. I train, participate at this gym with the group classes. Big shout out to Yasmin on the LBT class. The movements, stances (planks & seated chairs) she gets the team into has far far reaching underlying health benefits than even she could imagine (especially blood pressure sufferers). The findings are backed by research papers on 16000 sufferers papers and it is well documented (e.g bbc news website). Well done staff. Keep up the great work.

New class and women’s area
Edem is a fabulous addition to the team. It was my first time going to his Step and Dance Fit class yesterday and just wanted to mention how great the class was.
With the new women’s area and Edem’s new classes it’s a breath of fresh air to JD GYM. Combined with friendly staff such as Yasmin who is always on hand to help and Hannah’s amazing Body Pump classes, the recent changes have made this a better gym.

increased the monthly charge but close certain parts of the gym at different times meaning some workouts have to be cancelled. new machines come in and a week later they are out of order?? this is what im paying 30 a month for.

Great Gym however…
It’s a really nice gym, although it can get very busy. I use the women’s only section and I find it unfair the fact that we don’t have all the equipment there to use and that we have to wait long periods of time to use a certain piece of equipment because someone else is using it.

Unprofessional
Unprofessional, no response to their email, they don’t want me to cancel my membership so they don’t respond to my email but expect to give 30 days notice. Even though I sent them several emails, I haven’t had any response as to whether my membership is cancelled or not.

Lack of privacy in women’s
Honestly, I regret joining JD Gym in Birmingham Newtown. The women’s only section was the main reason I signed up, thinking it would be a safe place where we can take our hijabs off and work out in peace.
Instead, one of the female PTs has been recording and on TikTok live in there! This is so wrong and so disrespectful. We go in there because we think it’s private – and now we have to worry about being filmed? It’s completely unacceptable.
Also they have multiple female staff, however they always feel the need to make the male staff come into the women’s only area section and toilets to do checks.
I felt so uncomfortable and unsafe after seeing this happen. Management doesn’t seem to take it seriously either. If you’re a Muslim woman or just want a safe, private environment, this is not the place.
Sort it out JD Gym – your members deserve basic respect and privacy.

I don’t recommend this gym
I don’t recommend this gym at all. It’s dirty, smelly, equipment all over the place. I’m lucky I only paid £10 for the first month and no contract.

A lot more machines
A lot more machines. In comparison to other gyms it lacks in number of machines. Tare no duplicates but seems too prioritise Cardio when they are not all in use nor are people waiting for them.

The gym membership is a lot of money compared to the practicality of the gym as there is not much machinery and the women section is so unbelievably small

Absolutely Filthy
I joined the gym on Friday, went to the gym on Friday, cancalled membership on Friday. Or atleast put in a request to cancel because i got an automated reponse saying it takes 21 days. What a joke. It was a very hot day, treadmills next to the window on higher floor, AC in treadmill area switched off. It gets worse, shower area absolutely filthy dirty and to top it off there was excrement in the shower cubicle. Can't be dealing with that.

The gym is great however there appears to be no aircon and the ladies toilets are in a state. 2 cubicle doors you are unable to lock. The toilet tissue dispenser is jamed so you are unable to get tissue out. Its a pity as it lets the gym down.

Keeps getting worse...
The women section in the gym is small, cramped and always missing weights. There is always atleast 1 machine that is broken and as time goea on more and more equipment is being removes.
The showers are dingy and dark, and have a strange smell.
There are no classes during the day only at peak time, when there is bi parking. And the classes are too full if you do come at peak time making it hard to actually take part in vlasses. All the good classes have been removed only leaving the same few that are repeated daily with no variety.
