I have been a member of this gym since the day it opened. I love it! But my issue is i have seen all the great PTs leave as they say the company is very hard to work for as they “need” to work for 15 hrs a week for FREE unless they pay full rent to work from this place, so that makes sense but if you dont have alot of clients then your working for free which is a disgrace. This gym was the first JDs in glasgow and was unrivalled but this one have been left to rack and ruin. It needs a major overhaul!!!!
The other issue is the “new” PTs, they are not approachable and have that look on there face as if to say “do not apporoach me” so that sometimes comes across rude and awkward.
Even when they are out of work but still in the gym training they literally stare at members and growl at them from a distance.
I have spoke to a manager a few times on the cleanliness of this place as yes there is a cleaner but he isnt there 24/7 and the place sometimes gets very grubby.
I have asked the manager for the area managers number but have been told twice that they dont give that out and then my complaint just stops at the manager clearly

Hi TJ. Thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback.
It's not good to hear that you didn't feel particularly welcomed by our new team in Glasgow North. We'll certainly raise this with the Area Manager.
We're very sorry that you were left feeling uncomfortable but can assure you that our staff there are great and really mean well for our members. Hope you can continue to enjoy using the gym. The JD Gyms Team 💚
I like it, but, def room for improvement
It's so convenient for me..a 5 minute walk from my flat...I'm a returning member having left 3 yrs ago ( can't remember why...!)...nothing appears to have changed, though, obviously, some of the equipment has become more shabby looking..even old fashioned looking...see in your blogs you are upgrading elsewhere..need to upgrade Glasgow North, tbh...
There only seemed to be one member of staff visible...had a few questions to ask, but, couldn't find him...
Other members lack of gym etiquette in returning equipment to their stationary collection points results in gym weights and equipment like handles for cable machines are nowhere to be found..spent valuable minutes searching for them..gave up in the end...a constant role for staff, I would say, would be to constantly monitor equipments accessibility for clients, and, to replace , and, stack whenever needed...
The male changing area is always clean, and, fresh...it's always a pleasure to enter it...well done 👍
Overall, I like the gym...there is a nice "feel" to it..no "gym bro" intimidation going on...all ages, and, sizes of males, and, females happily doing their thing...always a good sign..
Lots of choices of areas, and, equipment for workouts, with a room full of bikes for spin class only use, I presume...not that I'd join..spin is a killer lol...
4 stars from me...in need of a bit of upgrading I'd suggest, but, really, I'm being a bit picky....it is very good value for the monthly subscription, and, I'm glad I came back to it....👍👍👍

hello Greg. Thank you for your detailed review and 4 star rating for our Glasgow North gym.
Whilst highlighting both the positive elements and areas for improvement. We appreciate your feedback on the equipment and the need for our team to continually maintain and log for repair where applicable. .it's great that you enjoyed the "feel" of the gym upon your return, the variety of equipment and workout options available. We understand the frustration of missing equipment and will take your feedback into consideration as we continue to enhance the member experience.
If we are ever running on a minimum amount of staff, you can always get their attention by pushing the green "Push For Assistance" button that you will find near the entrance.

Very unhappy regarding the late payment charge
Very unhappy regarding the late payment fee. The money was taken out and put back in which made me think their was no payment to be made. I am 8 months pregnant and never made a late payment before. I am disappointed and after calling customer services they said theirs nothing they can do. I didn't receive an email either. Disappointed and reconsidering changing gyms as this has never happened before. More disappointed as I have been loyal to JD gym for years now.

Hi there
Our gyms have barriers at the entrance which you can open using our contactless entry app. If you are unable to gain entry for whatever reason, there is a green button near the gates. Press that and it alerts a member of staff to your presence. Someone will come over to help.
If you'd like any further support or to chat about the issue you faced, please contact your gym on: glasgowsouth@jdgyms.co.uk
Take care

Cable machines lack space.
The gym is great, but could do with a regig of equipment layout as cable machines are hard to use for lack of space to do a lot of movements without blocking foot flow of other gym users.

I have only attended the gym to date
I have only recently started going to the gym, and there is a massive selection of cardio machines to choose from, but have yet to locate any cleaning utensils or hand sanitiser, which is unusual for a gym not to have cleaning stations? I am not keen using the app to enter and exit, as It takes a few attempts, apart from this, I am loving attending the gym again.
