My gym appears to me to be a lot smaller than the website seems to suggest. Out of 8 cross trainers only about 3 or possibly 4 work properly 2 fully out of order. I have trouble with the entry system too sometimes have to climb over to get in .. not too impressive I might look for somewhere else

Cardio equipment old style and weight benches not suitable

Reply from JD Gyms - Castleford
This gym is not suitable for people who take exercising and fitness seriously. The price is very competitive and is the reason I’ve been a member since this branch opened. In recent months the maintenance for this gym has become non existent, lots of machines including cables, leg curl, rowing machine and cardio equipment are out of order, some have been out of use for weeks. The cables in particular are frustrating because they have been out of use for quite some time and have broken multiple times. It doesn’t make me confident that the equipment in the gym is safe to use. Understandably, due to the price and location of this gym it is extremely popular but the issue lies with selling memberships willy nilly and not having the maintenance measures in place to cope with the amount of use the equipment gets. I’ve submitted tickets highlighting these issues but I just receive a non-response saying they’ve escalated the issue to the manager and head office but no action is taken. In summary:
This gym is not for you if fitness is important to you and you don’t go to the gym with a plan in place, the experience is an example of you pay for what you get.
This gym is for you if you go to socialise and want to keep it cheap if you’re not sure you want to commit to getting in shape.

I had previously been at the Exercise4less gym and wasnt the biggest fan but since joining in February I have really enjoyed going to JD Castleford. New management doing a great job down here. Special mention to Adam, Lloyd and Connor - always happy and helpful when on the gym floor. Gym itself very functional with all the equipment you need including 2 boxing bags. Sauna in mens changing is great. Keep her lit!

No one at the front who I could speak when joining the gym for the first time.
Cleaning lady spent all the time sitting in sauna (with clothes and shoes) on her phone!
Really don’t like lockers with lock pads - another money to spend..

Easy to sign up cheap monthly fees and no contract fantastic

The gym is quite small in comparison to other jd gyms. I would also prefer to be able to book classes so I know I am able to join if I drive all the way there.

Very welcoming staff as they are always wanting to help.
Really clean equipment including changing and locker rooms.
Would extremely recommend.

I was a member at xercise4less previously and left because it wasn't fulfilling my needs. I have gone back to check out the gym under new management and it feels like the gym I want to be at again.
