Very good work out options. Didn't feel unwelcome or unable to ask for help.

The gym itself is good but the changing rooms smell of raw human poo. Like really bad.

I usually use the JDs gyms in Leeds, and I wish I could all the time as they're spot on. However, I often have to use the Sunderland location, and it's so behind. The weights are all over the gym, dumbbells are never in the correct place and never paired, nobody ever puts their plates back and there is a lack of trainers (like I've seen at other locations) putting weights back or informing gym goers to tidy up after themselves. If you're big enough to lift the weights, you're big enough to put them back.
I've seen multiple times, someone leaves four 20kg plates on a bar, just for some smaller and first time gym goers to struggle to return the weights. I also rarely see the staff around the gym at all.
I know much of this is down to the people using the gym, but staff could at least attempt to implement some structure to the gym.

Excellent service from the heart from the management and personal trainers.
Really enjoying the. Membership and glad I enrolled!

Good gym but I don’t like how you can come in once a day and if you want to do another session the same day you have to wait around for a staff member to let you in. Also the disabled toilet is locked all the time and having only 2 toilets is rough when the gym is busy
I love the gym because the staff are lovely and the people who go there are friendly and I settled it really well because of how nice the staff and the over people are
Excellent equipment, clean changing areas, sauna and 24 hours access, only downfall is jumped up steroid freaks, but was put in his place so all good 👍 💪
The gym is 10/10. Great atmosphere, different compared to all other gyms. Great mix of people in there and all at the gym for the right reasons. Staff are lovely the equipment is modern . So pleased I moved to jd gym
Easy to join and very helpful staff
Also great facilities throughout the gym
Very clean

The men's changing rooms are totally unacceptable the smell makes me want to throw up I'm glad I train at the middle of the night so I don't have to use them the equipment is really good staff cart really sat

Ripped equipment, pads for leg extension not changed in 4 months… nothing is changing and the answer is always this same (next week)…

Lots of equipment and space. I've been at a variety of times and have managed to get what I wanted done. I've done a class and loved it. I like the QR code entry and like the idea of the 24hours opening. Only downside is there is a bit of a dodgy smell outside the locker rooms. It seems like it's quite localised to that area (the rest of the gym doesn't have this smell) and seems that they're aware and are trying to resolve it. It genuinely hasn't massively impacted my experience, but would be a nicer experience if this was resolved.
Men are a bit creepy and make you feel uncomfortable by watching you in the mirrors whilst making it obvious , staff are lovely tho
