Great gym with terrible showers!
Great use of space and equipment is amazing! Very clean. I can always get a good workout in.
One issue is the actual showers. They are quite ‘rough and ready!’ They do not stay on for long enough when you press the button and the flow is poor.

Clean, professional, every bit of kit and some.
Very clean, professional.
Massive space over 2 floors.
Respectful people, great atmosphere.
Huge range of kit to chose from, and then some more.
Great price with free classes.

The staff is really nice and helpful
The staff is really nice and helpful, always happy to help. One of the best gyms in Bristol, got loads of free weights and benches. In busy times there is always a bench free. GM of the gym (Nadiyah) is really friendly and got me comfortable around the gym environment. Defo recommend this gym to everyone.

no notice of cancelled classes
Really looking forward to the Yoga class only to arrive and be told it’s not running.
If classes are cancelled it would be useful if this was updated on the app as it would’ve saved me a lot of driving and could’ve planned other things.

Hi there
If there have been some last-minute cancellations, we're really sorry for any inconvenience caused. If you ever want to double check that a class is 100% running, please always feel free to give the gym a quick call before you leave home.
Hope this helps! If the problem persists, please contact the Manager via email to bristol@jdgyms.co.uk
Thank you,
The JD Gyms Team 💚
Great gym and atmosphere
Great, easy to sign up and use gym. Decent equipment, good atmosphere, like the music and staff are helpful. Always seems clean and tidy.
The only drawback is a lack of resistance bands and require this for some of my workouts! Apparently they have been stolen so the gym could do with something in place to stop happening. Maybe a barcode/tag on the bands?
Overall really like the gym, people are friendly and glad I became a member. Cheers!

Loud, crowded, and hectic!
The music is really loud and intrusive, especially on top of the noise levels when the gym is crowded. Sometimes I leave because it's too overwhelming.
The staff are always friendly and polite and the gym is clean.

Needs more stepmasters
Needs more stepmasters. There are only 3 and one is always out of use. At the moment there’s only one working one which is not uncommon. They’re always in use which is probably why they breakdown so often and takes ages for them to be fixed so 90% of the time there is only one or two. Please please please get some more as they’re so popular and it’s all I really want to use when at the gym. Also the WiFi is rubbish and it’s always too hot in there even in the winter never mind the summer so better AC would be good. I don’t know how to use any weight stuff and there was no induction on how to use those machines when you join. On the app it says there will be staff around for you to ask how to use machines but there never is

Where are all the staff?
When you go in, there is a table with 3 or 4 totally unapproachable people who I'm assuming work there. At no point have I seen any staff walking around the gym or any notices/pictures stowing who the staff are and what PT's are available. It would be useful if staff had a uniform of sorts that makes them identifiable to the gym goers. I could really use a PT or get some advice but no-one is there! Pretty shocking really as I've seen some questionable behaviour at the gym I attend.

Hi there
We tried to call you to discuss further. The table you are referring to is for member use so I think it will have been members that you saw gathered there.
All staff will be dressed in clear JD Gyms uniform so you should be able to recognise them in the gym. There are some staff information boards located by the stairs with profiles of PT's. If you wish to book a PT session please speak to member of staff next time you're in the club or you can email them on bristol@jdgyms.co.uk and someone will come back to you with some options.
I hope this helps

Have been a member for a few weeks and am enjoying. Only downfalls is that whilst there is a lot of equipment it does get really busy at peak times.
Would also be great if there were more yoga/pilates classes.
