JD Gyms - Leeds Kirkstall Road Reviews 

£30 a month while pure gym and gym group charge way less. No student packages. Some machines have been out of order for weeks. The remaining ones are in horrible condition. The grips on the cable attachments have padding fallen off. Difficult to enter as the code reader reads the QR code half the time. The app is horrible. Don’t go to this place you’re better off going anywhere else.

Equipment is in awful condition. Chest fly machine moves like it’s got Parkinson’s. Leg extensions thinks one of my legs is bigger than the other. No staff bother to try and keep things a bit tidy. Literally takes half your time finding the right dumbbell weights cos they everywhere.

Lockers still been taken up for months now. Hardly any larger lockers in the men’s changing room that are free, all had the same padlocks on them for a long long time. They put signs all over the locker rooms saying they were finally doing a padlock cut on Tuesday.
I arrived on Wednesday and it hadn’t been done and all the signs been taken down. Asked a member of staff why it hadn’t been done, was told it was now being delayed till Sunday night. We will see if it actually happens.
I also question what cleaning takes place. Last weekend, someone had left behind a T-shirt & towel hanging in the men’s locker room, it was there on Friday, still there Saturday and Sunday.
Also a jacket on top of the lockers by the vending machines has been there for weeks, so when does the cleaning actually take place?

they make the cancellation process extremely difficult ive emailed about cancelling my account and not heard back from them, so still being charged. the gym equipment in leeds kirkstall is old, the personal trainers are just there to pickup girls, its not so cheap anymore there are better value gyms with community

The kirkstall gym has people hogging the lockers! The entrance lockers are always taken & the male lockers room hardly has any spare lockers as ppl are keep the locks for themselves! As of 12/08/25 the problem is still the same if not getting worse!

Place is huge with a good variety of equipment.
Maintenance is so-so. A sizeable bunch of the machines have some damage, or half-done leather fixes. Toilets are usually in a pretty grim state but that's down to the clientele, as is weights never being put in the right place.

Why is the equipment always broken? I go in and on average at least 10 pieces of equipment are broken. It’s a good gym but needs better maintenance, not sure why I’m paying £30 per month and the equipment can’t even be maintained properly…

as commercial gyms go it has to be the best, but there are only three disabled parking bays and they’re always taken up by people without blue badges. nothing done to enforce this so if you’re disabled shop around first, there’s on street parking but it’s not as close as disabled parking, i don’t think the gym staff particularly care, i emailed JD and they said to report to staff so immediately delegated. not their issue, good gym otherwise but yeah if you’re disabled you’ll probably want to shop around

Equipment always broken bathroom is abysmal and customer service is horrible, would be worth it if it was a tenner but it’s over 25 quid a month such a rip off worst gyms I ever been to

The worst gym in Leeds...not clean ,disgusting also half of the machine outnof the order .....
Rather pay more a private gym so can't wait my membership expires.

I enjoy the gym classes however multiple times over the past 2 weeks they have been cancelled & the app has not been updated. Waiting in the class & no instructor turns up. The spin classes are great but the music needs some variety as it’s the same every class. A lot of the time there are machines that are out of order or waiting for parts.

It is very nice and tidy the stuff very lovely and friendly and atmosphere is fantastic im recommended everyone

The facility looks great, but the equipment needs to be maintained a little better.

Nice gym, only recommendation is there could be more bars like EZ bars and stuff. Also more organised weights.

Great service, great stuff, nice gym and atmosphere !

In my first day at you shity gym someone stole my jacket and the staff are not helpful I have been asking them for help and they are not doing anything not even rewatching the CCTV what is the point of having a CCTV if you’re not going to use them.
At the end of you want a new jacket you know where to go .

Started 3 days ago already love it soo muchh

Good choice of equipment and even though it was busy I still had opportunity to use what I needed to without having to wait m, overall very good gym and experience would definitely recommend.!

For the price each member pays every month it's really bad that this gym keeps having multiple machines out of order every day!
The gym itself has low or no ventilation, everyone is overheating inside, the smell it's horrible. The cleaning in general of the gym it's bad, there's never paper in the toilets, and the machines are dirty and out of shape. The machines cushions need replacement ASAP, because the amount of money we pay for the state of the gym, it's not good at all.

Absolutely filthy, my god I've never seen a gym like it , the toilets are rank the sinks overflowing blocked, machinery broken, you need to close it down and rebuild...
