Really great gym at a great price
Really great gym and reasonable pricing.
The induction was thorough and the staff member was super friendly and welcoming. There is a great range of classes, all of which can be adapted for injuries etc.
The gym has every machine you could need as well as a great range of free weights.
Add to that it has a separate ladies only area and you've got the whole package.

Classes great & a few comments for improvements.
Really pleased with the classes but disappointed with the gym equipment, 1 of the Stair-master not working in the ladies section. It took five attempts to find a treadmill in the main gym as a lot of them had errors on them, so we're not working. Could not find any cleaning Items, yet there are signs up saying to clean things after you've used them. Feel the equipment should be checked regular to address any issues. Cleaning equipment should be made available like blue rolls, I did see hand sanitiser.
Also do not feel you should need a QR code to get out of the gym, should only be required to gain access in. I assume in an emergency this is disabled.

Overcrowded environment and you can only enter into the gym once once a day.
If you enter into the gym and you forgot your bottle of water in the car and you go and get it, you will not be able to come back in except you speak to a member of staff.
You have to wait for the equipment at least 5 to 10 minutes before you can start your workout.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. You can come to the gym as many times per day as you like, however if you have scanned in already, your following visit will require pressing the green buzzer at the door to notify a member of staff wo will happily let you in.
If this is something you would like to do more regularly, please speak to a member of staff who can help to accommodate.

A good selection of machines and lot of space to do my own thing too. I use thr one in Rochford, Southend On sea. The problem is it's over subscribed.

The staff are super friendly and helpful and it’s really nice to have the ladies only section. However it does get quite cold in there which increases the chances of pulling a muscle or developing an injury. Please turn the heating on!

…plenty of equipment for every gym user there; so no waiting about for ages.
I appreciated the dim lighting as it felt less exposed and intimidating.
The music is upbeat and modern.

Noisy Equipment Repairs
Machines should be repaired out of hours or at least in less busy times. Today I had to cut my workout short as the treadmill next to me was being repaired by a very noisy, clumsy engineer. It didn't even say the machine was out of order so I had no idea someone would be coming next to me for maintenance. He was using an extremely noisy electric screwdriver throwing the casings he removed all over the place. It was so off putting I had to come off the machine. I did raise this with a member off staff who said repairs could only be done whilst they are open. I suggested that perhaps it would be better is the contractors came at less busy times. Perhaps early in the morning or late in the evening but she said they don't start work until 9am!!! I appreciate that equipment needs to be maintained or fixed but perhaps JD should recruit a firm of contractors who will work when it's convenient for JD clients and not to suit themselves. Failing that at least put barriers around the equipment so that you can avoid using machines next to the ones requiring attention. Barriers should also be used for safety reasons. Comments from JD on this matter would be appreciated.

Hi there
We understand your frustration with the noisy and disruptive repair work during your workout. It's definitely not ideal to have repairs carried out while the gym is busy, and we apologise for the inconvenience this caused. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will take your feedback into consideration as we review our maintenance procedures.
We strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable workout environment for all our members, and we will explore ways to minimize disruptions during peak hours. We're committed to finding solutions that balance the need for regular maintenance with the needs of our members.
