Update your equipment!
I have been once and I have asked to cancel my membership already. The equipment is really old and used compared to gyms around it at the same price point, the car park doesn't feel safe at night, such a shame as I have used JD gyms at other sites before and they have been great! Update your equipment, it seems to be a consistent review!!

Sheffield south was poor today
Sheffield south, a poor site!
Changing rooms littered and dirty, more broken than working lockers,
Equipment worn out/ damaged but all in service.... the cardio bike I used, the peddles kept slipping!
Grips on most machines are missing or torn, loose weights all over the place.... nothing where it should live

Hello, thank you for taking some time to leave us a review today! Although we are disappointed with the 2* rating, we appreciate the honest feedback that has effected your gym experience.
Staff do undertake regular maintenance checks and work hard with our maintenance team and equipment providers to ensure the facilities are in safe working order. However if you have any concerns about the facilities or equipment in club, specifically the changing areas/lockers, please notify staff on site as soon as you can, or directly to the management team on: Sheffieldsouth@jdgyms.co.uk
Our team on the gym floor do encourage our members to replace any equipment used in the correct place, however if you are struggling to locate anything inparticular, please notify the team on the floor as they usually know the main hiding places they have been left.
Best Wishes. The JD Gyms Team 💚
Good range of equipment
Good range of equipment, accessible day and night. Early mornings the gym is untidy with equipment (weights) being left all over by customers. Some of the equipment is showing its age (e.g.handgrips)

Hi Rosemary, thank you for leaving a review! It's great to hear you’re enjoying using the facilities at all hours of the day In Sheffield South ! Unfortunately some of the night owls are not as tidy as the early birds and our limited number of staff over night means their priorities are within the changing areas.
Our team will continue to check the equipment and will keep it available to use until deemed unsafe before replacing. However if you believe they have missed anything inparticular, please do not hesitate to let the management team know at Sheffield South.
We hope you continue to enjoy your fitness journey with us. Best wishes. The JD Gyms Team 💚

Honest review after a few years of membership
Been a member for some time now and it was great a few years back - equipment in good condition, staff tidying/cleaning - not too messy and an upgrade over the xercise4less. They made it 24/7 some time back which was another bonus.
HOWEVER... it is not what it used to be. So many lockers smashed in/not working, sinks often have no soap, no one ever tidying up kit is all over the place- theve recently got some new kit but not bothered to fix some of the current kit that is in serious need of maintenance - rust/lose pins. Getting a workout done in the freeweigjts area is close to impossible like a maze walking around all the scattered dumbbells everywhere. Basic things also neglected, no cleaning stations, members aloweed to tamper with lighting/sound systems and Rollerblade around the gym,, such as shame because the gym used to be brilliant but gone downhill pretty fast..

Its a good gym and i like the equipment + lighting but it was a bit of a mess - none of the weights put back + teh ones that were all in the wrong places

Hi, thanks for the review! Glad to hear you are enjoying the gym. We try our best to encourage our members to return the weights after use. Our fabulous staff are always on hand to help with returning the weights so if you are ever struggling (finding them of course, not lifting them 😉) , please don't hesitate to ask! 💚
The gym is great but the lack of working equipment
The gym is great but the lack of working equipment is just not acceptable. From no batteries on the rowers to out of order machines it’s just not okay. I moved from a university gym to this gym as I thought that it would provide a better range of equipment but unfortunately a lot of it is not working and taking a long time to be fixed.

Hi Lily, thanks for leaving us some feedback. Although we are gutted to see the 1*, we can understand your frustration around equipmwnt being out of order especially when it is just our batteries that have gone flat!
Staff do undertake regular maintenance checks and work hard with our equipment providers to ensure that our equipment is fixed as soon as possible, if any should be broken. We are equally as disappointed when this happens and sometimes need to wait on engineers but will have all equipment in full working order as soon as is safely possible. If you have any concerns about equipment, please notify staff on site as soon as you can.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate in picking the brains of our Personal Trainers in Sheffield South as they will no doubt have a weird/wonderful alternative for you if some equipment is out of action Keeping you on track to smash your goals💪

Impossible to get in touch with them
It is impossible to cancel a membership. I signed up and canceled the same day, as I didn’t like the gym. I didn’t cancel the direct membership, as per their request on the website. 30 days later, I get charged!!! I email again, twice!! I also tried calling the gym I visited, I get ignored. So I proceed to cancel my direct debit to at least avoid further charges and the next day they email me and text me to say that they noticed I canceled my direct debit! Like, what?? Why haven’t they notice my previous 3 requests of cancelation. This is such disrespect towards their customers!

Standards dropped
I lived in Sheffield a few years ago when the JD gym was opened and while I attended for the first 2 years it was great, clean everywhere, equipment worked and everything had a place and was put back after use.
I have recently moved back to the gym after working away and lots of broken equipment, weights everywhere, no clips for free weights in sight. No one putting things back where they should be and locker rooms full of dented, broken, unusable lockers.
Unimpressed with how quickly this decline seems to have happened as only been out of the city a year or so but prices have lowered for the gym so maybe there is a correlation because population using gym has increased and barely any staff on the floor that you can see maintaining order. Would definitely pay more per month to attend this gym if it was better kept and equipment fixed in reasonable time frame.

Hi Aleksandra thanks for taking the time to leave this review. We’re afraid it's true, our gyms are very popular and can become busy especially at peak times, but this does fluctuate at different times of the day and night. To make the most of the space where possible, though, we are always looking to expand and improve our facilities. Best wishes The JD Gyms Team 💚

I joined this gym being very excited…
I joined this gym being very excited that it had a women’s section and was 24 hours, I was extremely disappointed to find out that the women’s area isn’t even open overnight. I work late shifts and was excited about the women’s area, no where on the website does it say the women’s gym isn’t open during the night, I will be cancelling my membership I feel very let down
