I like how spacious the gym is and the wide variety of machines it offers. On my first day, the staff member at the entrance warmly welcomed me and explained the facilities.

Best gym
I have recently renewed my membership with JD Gyms. I am 67 and really enjoy going. The staff are lovely and helpful if I need them. Also the gym is very well equipped and clean.

It’s amazing
It’s amazing, honestly the best gym I’ve been too but if only your guys have had a toilet and changing rooms and a shower room it would be even better because when I work out I need to use the bathroom. The bathroom is the priority. I go to the Edinburgh Westside Plaza JD Gym btw

Hello – Thanks for the review. We’re really sorry that you were unable to gain access to the gym on this occasion. If you are ever struggling, there is a green button available near the entrance/exit which will alert a member of staff to come over and assist further.
Thanks, The JD Gyms Team 💚
It used to be a decent place//VERY LOUD
It used to be a decent place. Even after the refurbishment and the increased price, it was a nice place to go. However, it has changed. I am going gym to relieve stress and focus on my gains. Not to listen to awfully loud music that goes through my headphones. Often, I need to raise my volume to unhealthy levels to just be able to hear my thoughts. It is not always, but it becomes notorious. Spoke to the manager, and he tried to convince me that sound is always at the same level. I do not think so. 8/10 times, the music is loud like I was in a pub. The manager also told me that music selection and volume are dictated by the owners. Well, I am strongly considering a change. JD is convenient, as close to home, but I might do the extra mile.
Think about people who are going gym because they are rehabbing or so. Not just regulars who are going out every Friday, so they do not care about loud music. Wonder what results we could have if someone measured decibels?
Moreover, the big hall is often occupied by some people who probably rent the space. That is fine, but why because of 3 people, the rest can't use it?
Your management needs more training, as there is definitely a lot of space for improvement.

Hi – Thanks for leaving us a review. Sorry if the music was a little loud, this does vary throughout the day but please speak with a staff member if you’d like it turned down or changed.

Great space, bit worn.
I think the space and machines are completely fine, albeit a bit worn out. Some machine weights need the numbers filled out again, the attachments to the individual weight pods need replaced(like the rope for example). Otherwise, a good facility.

More variety of classes please
I think overall the gym is good however i think the lack of classes let's this gym down. Every class I've been to has a different name but all of them are circuits. Previously when I was a member they had so much more variety. Pilates, body pump, etc

😊 Hi there Angela. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review - we absolutely love to hear this. Our team strive to make your experience with us the best it can be, so we are really pleased you're enjoying your JD Gyms experience with our team in Edinburgh. 💪 The JD Gyms Team 💚
In addition to my original review can I just add that today both James and Aaron offered a genuine welcome in the usual friendly manner. Top notch chaps!
Given that I’ve spent a number of decades involved in customer care it’s very pleasing to note that, while other businesses seem to falter in that area these days, JD Gyms has selected some outstanding members of staff in their Wester Hailes gym on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Scotland who 1) engage well with their customers 2) are very helpful 3) are friendly 4) and are knowledgable. The cherry on top is that they welcome you into the premises with a genuine smile every time. An absolute credit to JD Gyms. This level of professionalism is a wee bit hard to find these days and those members of your team make it an absolute must to keep coming back. In addition the equipment is second to none going by my previous experience in other places. We’ll done indeed you folks…keep it up!
