JD Gyms - Bristol Reviews 

I wish there was more of the same machines, there’s only one machine for abs and it’s always busy. I also wish they had more cleaning stations around the rooms

This was my first experience of a gym. I was anxious but found it easy to access with the app and was impressed with how spacious it was inside. I was able to use the machines I wanted. My only problem was when I went to exit I had no internet on my phone so couldn’t connect to the app to exit but luckily the person I was with informed me there was WiFi so I joined the WiFi and was able to use the app to exit but was a bit stressed for a few minutes thinking I was stuck inside the gym and there wasn’t any staff there that I had seen the whole time I was there.

The JD team especially in Bristol is super kind and so helpful and everyone just brings a whole vibe when walking in into JD.

I really like the gym hall for its equipment and spacious layout. However, I’ve been facing an issue with the Wi-Fi—it’s been three days without a connection. I understand that efforts are being made to fix it, but I rely on the internet to access training videos on YouTube, and using my mobile data isn’t an option due to poor signal.

Additionally, I’ve noticed that there is no trainer available in the gym, especially when new members join. For example, I had to resort to YouTube to learn proper techniques myself. This could be risky for new members who might not know the correct form or techniques, leading to potential injuries.

To cancel, they want you to write to them. In 2024. Just another scamming gym earning money off of making it stupidly hard to cancel their services.

I go to the gym really late after midnight, it is absolutely dead which is nice for me as I am not confident and want to lose weight. I really have nothing to complain about as I really have no issues but the only thing that is a little annoying is that the changing rooms are closed during the late hours, meaning I have to get changed in the toilets. Not only that there is only one shower in the toilets that you can use but it just feels awkward as I don’t want to rush, but feel I have to just because it’s the only bathroom that people can use.

Love coming to JD just feel comfortable in here!! Friendly staff, clean gym and not waiting to use the machines as there is plenty of equipment for everyone! I will keep coming to this gym ❤️🫶🏽

A lot of equipment, only need some more for Abs. Crowdy ,but good place to work out

Amazing classes and clean, modern equipments

Excellent gym and lots of equipment

Hi there,

Been looking for a group exercise there is always a schedule in board but when you actually go to the gym there was no group exercise happening. Im wondering why is that?This happened twice already and even stayed there for an hour to wait if there will be a next schedule for exercise but nothing happens 😊

Hope you can look into this.

For the price it's a good gym, but not perfect. There are a lot of types of machines and a lot of free weights, but for most of the machines there are just 1 of each kind. Some of the machines it's hard to know how to use it and there are no instructions and gym instructors are rarely seen. The gym is kept a good temperature and music isn't too loud. Phone signal doesn't work in the gym which might cause an issue using the gym's app. There is free WiFi, but it's slow. Some areas of the gym are dark and I need to use another light to see the numbers. It's definitely worth it for the price and it's nice that there is no long term contract.

So much to chose from everyone is friendly like home from home . And if help needed it’s all around thanks for letting me in !!!

Great experience.

Not a fan of QR Code or bust approach as my gym partner's code wasn't working and only one of us could enter. Thankfully there was a cleaner on shift to open but if it were 2am or so for exqmple, I'm not confident the issue may have turned out so smoothly

Unimpressed. First time, couldn't even get into the gym with the barcode, and there were no staff members at that time to offer support. App is very poor interface.

Bristol - I'm so glad there are multiple glute bridge/hip thrust stations now!! Saves so much work setting it up. Friendly staff and clean. Could do with another leg press.

If you are not at JD gyms, Fishpond in Bristol, you do not know what you are missing. Recently I have been having a lil bit of high blood pressure and a high pulse rate. I have been consistent with the regular gym activities daily having registered with JD gyms. I am proud to say here my blood pressure which was high and unstable and the pulse rate, has normalised. Secondly, I usually snore each time I slept. Just last weekend, my wife asked me to remind her of a gist while we were enjoying our gym session, and after the gym sessions, to my surprise she told me I used to snore most times whenever I was asleep, and affirmed the snoring has completely stopped, with a smooth, crisp breathe, as she has been monitoring my general wellness, being a healthcare professional. I give God all the glory. Visit JD gyms today! If you haven't signed up, please do so. This is a sincere review, and not a make up or paid review, but a genuine one.

Better equipment than PureGym , Clean , lights are not too bright and good atmosphere the only negative loud music please can you lower the music volume so we can listen to our own music or podcasts

I rejoined after travelling for six months and it’s still just as easy as before - no judgement, a great variety of classes and straightforward access

The gym itself is well equipped with plenty of machines and space. However, the staff were extremely unhelpful and robotic. I tried to enquire about personal training but the person I spoke to wasn't interested and wasn't helpful. I asked if there was a page to look up the personal trainers and there availability but was told there wasn't, I would just have to approach them. I asked if any of them had specialities as I have an injury and am disabled, but again wasn't given any helpful information. The main room you walk into is very loud and intense, as a neurodiverse person I really struggled, but the freeweight room at the back was a lot brighter and quieter. I'm anxious about returning but the people using the gym we nice and welcoming, shame about the staff.
