JD Gyms - Manchester Reviews 

Recently joined after leaving PureGym in Ancoats, Manchester.
Overall JD gym is nice gym and decent value for money.

Couple of positive and negatives:

- Staff could be more friendly. In the 2 weeks I’ve been there not a single member of staff has said hi to me.
- Manchester City Centre gym is way too busy and cramped. Have to wait ages for machines, weights and cables.
- Manchester City Centre gym: cleaner closes the sauna way too early at 9:30 and has zero customer service skills.
- Salford location has plenty of parking and 3 hours of free parking
- Salford location is much more spaced out so it doesn’t feel like I’m constantly falling over people like the Manchester City centre one.
- Salford gym is nice and clean and weights are constantly put away
- Got a free red bull at the Salford gym because the red bull girls were doing a promotion.
- Salford location should hopefully be 24/7 soon.
- Wish they did a buddy membership like PureGym as part of the plus membership. I used this whilst I was at PureGym and lots of my buddies ended up joining and it’s always nice to train with a partner now and again.

Joined just last week, i have been getting bored of pure gyms for a while now, so when i saw that there was a JD GYM on my route home and it had a promotion running i had to try it out! (I totally refuse to pay joining fees for a gym)
Absolutely love this gym, proper range of machines, cables, free weight, benches etc. Only gripe i have is that there is no PECDEC? Which i find strange but not a game changer.
Great staff and very clean. Love it

The gym is great, all staff members are really helpful the classes are great too. clean and good range of equipment to use while in the gym.

Amazing gym with brilliant facilities along with a really friendly team of personal trainers to compliment with. Have had a life changing experience training under "Saf" as he goes beyond his limits to help anyone and everyone.

Very clean and organised. The staff is very friendly and helpful!

Loads of equipment, clean, friendly, not too busy for city centre

Clean, full equated gym and a nice environment to work on.

Brilliant gym with a great range of equipment to help you achieve your goals. Staff are helpful too and are always available for advice or to demonstrate a bit of equipment. I’ve been to a few gyms the past years but this gym is by far the best.

Mory!

Best gym ever👍The equipment, changing room are all good and clean. Wholesome staff members everyone’s very helpful and FUNNY as well 😂 Be prepared to have a laugh with them when you’re taking a break. Alex the manager might surprise you with bubble tea or random sweets 😬 recommend Leah’s HIIT session it’s intense and fun!

Really nice gym for city centre. Quite small compared to gyms out of town but loads of good equipment. Changing rooms are spacious and clean which is a nice surprise in such a busy gym

I've been to a few bad gyms but this one is really good! Always clean and the staff are always really helpful

Really good gym. Staff are super helpful
And some really good classes

Great gym loads of classes loads of equipment. Always space on equipment. Open during bank hours. Where others are closed for 2 weeks

Great gym, great staff. Feeling bigger already.

This is my favourite gym in Manchester City Centre. For the location, class schedule and range of equipment, the price is absolutely excellent. I train early in the morning and find the gym perfectly tidy (it’s reset it at every close), changing rooms/ shower/ sauna are spotless and it’s not particularly busy so can always get equipment. I’ve been to a few classes which have always been well planned and really fun. The standards/ culture here and the friendly staff set this gym apart for me and why I’m happy I chose JD.

Most professional gym I have ever worked in,
- huge open space
- high ceiling
- a big cardio zone with prowler tracks
- a seperate crossifit zone
- a seperate weighlifting zone
- a seperate fitness zone with light dumbbells and barbells where some members might find little bit more privacy
- massive main bodybuilding zone where equipement is split in nice clear rows ( squat racks, benches, free weights area, plate loaded machines and cable machines )

top that with a great training atmosphere and a really nice polite members

You will be surrounded by combination of wood, rustic metal and green neons as a part of cool interior design.

Speaking as a staff member we all have been trained to really look after this place, there is always one of us ready to help you at the reception desk, daily eqipment check and cleaning check are on ongoing basis just to make sure this place is safe and presentable for our all our quests.

If you are lucky you might even grab your first month for as little as £5, JD is running great offer all the time

oh and forgot to mention all classes and sauna are also included

honest 5/5 speaking from my heart here

One of the best gyms I’ve been in so far.
Great staff, enough equipment and room.

Just a few machines missing and the dressing room’s window lightings are not that good, you might not like taking your pictures in those mirrors with lighting.

There is a good amount of most equipment other than:

Dual-stack cable stations
Leg isolation exercises (hamstring curl machines -both lying & seated)
Leg extension machines (cable-loaded)
Hip adduction & abduction machines

Their adjustable benches are also pretty awful. Very uncomfortable to sit on and use for whatever exercise you're working on

Not too keen on the staff either. I lost an item, which I thankfully found, and said thank you (and smiled) to the lady who returned it to me. She ignored my thanks and looked at me with a look of disgust. Very awkward. I'll be sure to avoid her in the future and most of the staff if I can help it.

The Gym is student-friendly in terms of costs and provides flexible class timings. very helpful and friendly trainers and staff. Would highly recommend it.
