Gym is ok.. but..
Gym is ok.. but too much beauracracy. Gyms shouldn't be this complicated. I want to cancelled and you're saying I have to wait 14 days for you to approve??
What kind of mentally is that? If I want to cancel.. I'll cancel when I wish. I shouldn't need your approval.. and wait for it as well.

Abundance of tolerance
Friendly staff, welcoming people however weights are thrown everywhere no respect to gym rules. Rules aren't enforced towards members of the gym

I am disabled and I am constantly harassed as soon as I enter the shower, I am told to hurry up and not make the area wet. I am disabled so take time and sometimes unable to fully dry myself so wait on the seats to dry myself and I am told not to sit down and dry myself. The general manager keeps giving me warnings.

Hello Sam, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review however we are truly sorry to hear about your experience in our Birmingham gym.
We value all our members and strive to create an inclusive and comfortable environment for everyone to come and achieve their goals. We understand that being told to hurry up while showering can be upsetting/uncomfortable for anyone, let alone anyone isolated in the accessible changing facility.
We will take your feedback seriously and share it with the relevant wider team to ensure that all members feel respected and supported within our gyms.

Not worth it
No one would come to the front door when I wanted to sign up. I asked for a taster session and one of the staff is too busy watching a football game on his phone. People are just standing around socialising around machines it’s difficult to get access to anything. And then I requested a cancellation and have had no email back. This is really poor, I want a refund for the first month as I didn’t even go to the gym and never will. I have heard other branches are better but this Birmingham city centre one is really poor

The ladies gym is subpar compared to the unisex gym
You charge the same for the ladies gym as the unisex/males gym but both do not have the same facilities and equipment in ladies area I have to wait for equipment and the small area for ladies you decide to market your gym as a ladies area but there is not enough space. when I complain that there is no equipment free they inform me to go upstairs but i only joined for the ladies area and so the membership price is very expensive. It would be helpful if we got an entire floor for only ladies instead of just the corner on the ground floor. If that cannot be done then provide a separate membership for only the ladies area so that the price matches the facilities given.
Also sauna room is very small so I am never able to go there always is full no space- it only fits about 6/7 people and that’s if we squish together

Hi there
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your frustration with the limited space and equipment availability in the ladies' area. We strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our members, and we are always looking for ways to improve our facilities.
We hear your suggestion about dedicating an entire floor for ladies or offering a separate membership for the ladies' area. We will consider your feedback as we continue to evaluate our services and make improvements.

Needs updating - is tired & run down, broken machines
Recently joined, is £29.99 per month which is expensive so had high expectations. It has old machines and equipment, which is surprising for the high price, it's run down and dated. Numerous machines are broken down and need repair. Please get this sort JD Gym.
Been advised this has been open for 10 years, so that does explain things.
I will probably try The Gym Group as is £20.99 and they have multiple sites in Birmingham and better value for money, will be saving £9 per month.

Good gym just lacks variety of equipment
The gym is cheap has good deals lots of benches and treadmills but lacks a multiple machines theres only one leg extension machine in the whole gym also there is no stair master machine if the gym was expanded they should definitely add them to the gym and get some air filter in the boys changing room because the smell is very bad
