JD Gyms - Sunderland Reviews 

always crowded and small facility when compared to the number of people coming there

Great staff plenty of equipment loads of space
Great value for money
Definitely recommend

Good value. Easy to join. Easy to use.

I haven't used a gym in years, and the atmosphere of most gyms I have used previously has been pretty toxic to say the least. The JD Gym in Sunderland by contrast is welcoming and relaxed.

I haven't received a code for the front door and I get anxiety asking people so it's a bit inconvenient sorry for the rating.

Good place to workout clean and good staff

The ambiance great. Équipement well stocked. Changing area stinks.

Love it 🧡

Staff are kind, friendly always willing to help!

It's super clean and has a fabulous vibe from the minute you walk in till the minute you leave.

Initial experience as a newbie entering the gym not very good. There was no greeting even though I quite clearly didn’t have a clue what I was doing or where I was going. I had to approach the staff asking where I could purchase a lock for the lockers I was pointed towards a machine. I had such a carry on with the machine, I was there ages and again no one offered any help. I was nervous going into a new gym as it was and felt like a right tatie! Then I had to ask where the ladies changing rooms were, the man on the desk kindly stopped his chat with the girl on the desk and told me where to go. If I was a retail eye and scores were on the door this experience would be pretty bleak. It’s just sheer will power that’s going to force my return there 🤦🏻‍♀️ Im also a member of another local gym, slightly further afield, and I’ve got to say their approach so far has been much more community feel. I’m so disappointed as I really wanted this to be great! The equipment and decor of the place is lovely though.

I had a good outing with nice facilities, however there's no staff to guide or take me on an induction session for the first day ,considering the best equipment to be used for a particular training to achieve a desired result I wish to get at the end. Another thing,can I use my access together with my partner at the same time?

Awful gym, terrible atmosphere from walking in the doors, dark, dingy and equipment has seen better days, I’ll stick with my usual gym (The Gym Group) - cleaner, cheaper and nice, supportive pts!

It’s a tidy welcoming environment. It feels awkward once you first walk in. But many people help out and give you tips on how to workout properly. It’s an amazing place and 100% worth the price your paying!

JD Gyms is a great place to relax and meditate whilst putting yourself through the paces

The gym is great, lots of equipment to use. Huge problem with this specific gym is the smell that is wrenching from the changing rooms soon as you get near the top of the stairs. Never in my life have I smelt a changing room this bad before. Literal excrement which has been for the 8th day running now. Haven’t seen the staff cleaning or spraying in there once.

The gym is absolutely brilliant. Loads of equipment. Great for me because i can use it all over the country has i work away from home. But the sunderland one very spacious and friendly staff.

I rather like JD gyms it’s clean , spacious enough, changing rooms are clean . I wish I left pure gym sooner. Have recommended my friends to JD and some of us have a snap chat chats on progress . Great place to go . The only thing I don’t know is how to book on a class as the app shows when classes are running but doesn’t say if you just turn up or arrange a booking. I would like JD app to also have something on to show how many times you attend and log the progress of your workouts.

Nice gym, lots of equipment.

I've rejoined this gym having been to others for the last 12 months as I like to move around. So far it's ok, a little too busy at peak times but planning on going later in the summer. It's clean enough for me, the opening times are good as is the price. It could definitely benefit from another Smith and cable machine and a heavier dumbbell rack upstairs.

Great gym, very spacious, lots of equipment and classes to choose from.
One bit of equipment I'd like to see is the assault bike and a few more classes on late morning.

A good gym and fitness area with lots of variety, however it’s age is starting to show with wear and tear on most benches and cable machines padding and numerous electronic cardio equipment not operating correctly. Will need to improves otherwise newer gyms will take more customers

Satisfactory, helpful and efficient
