I enjoy JD Gyms, I have been training here since it was Xercise for Less. There is a variety of equipment and plenty of space. However, I have noticed the class schedule has been reduced.

Experience can be improved. Timely update for class schedule. Sometimes it’s being updated an hour ago which brings uncertainty. In case class is cancelled, must be updated on app. A red colou... See more

Tried twice to just get an introduction, first time the fire alarm went off so the guy told me he couldn’t do it because he had to fill out a report. Second time turned up to the booked class and the guy didn’t know anything about and wasn’t trained to do it anyway. Cancelled my subscription due to poor customer service.

Jd gym Swansea Parc Tawe
Well, the equipment in the gym is pretty good; no issues there. Men's Toilet They are smelly; they need improvement. Changing rooms need to be cleaned regularly. People don’t put their own clothes and shoes in the lockers, and the changing rooms are smelling. The staff should regularly monitoring and tidy up changing rooms and toilets. Place a falling-apart bucket on the floor because clings are leaking. Parts of the wall come off. The whole gym needs urgent improvement.

TOO BUSY
The equipment is great but it is so overcrowded you can never get to do what you came to do.
I have been unable to use the fly machine at all this year and couldn’t even do bench press tonight.
If you are going to take on this many members you need to double the size of the gym imo.
Very frustrating.

Nice clean modern gym
Nice clean modern gym. Would prefer more room for extra squat racks and deadlifting as they tend to get busy.
Good dumbbells and plenty of benches available. Would recommend to anyone to try it out.

Good but a few areas to consider
Great staff who are very helpful & available to guide & support. Good range of equipment.
There should be a water station on the upper floor to refill water bottles. One on each side of the ground floor as it spans a huge area.
There needs to be hand sanitiser & anti bacterial spray & blue roll to wipe down handles of equipment after use. Both on upper & lower floor.
Users can sanitise their hands when entering & leaving the site. So by the front entrance would be great!

Hello Babita, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we are sure the team in Swansea will be loving the 4 star rating, especially with your kind words abbout the team!
Thank you for your suggestions on where we should be placing any additional drinking water refill stations. We always take on feedback from our loyal member base, for the meantime though you will just have to thank us for the extra steps you are gaining during your workouts to stay hydrated😊
We installed cleaning stations during the pandemic, as the government required us to do so. Since all restrictions were lifted some time ago, we have been gradually returning to our normal operations, with the cleaning stations being one of the last remaining measures. We do encourage our members to bring in their own towel to clean off the equipment after use as well as use their own sanitiser which they are comfortable to use.
We also have method statements for the team to follow for the cleaning of our equipment. Ensuring it is cleaned thoroughly without damaging it and keeping everything in action for the Swansea members to use.
If you do notice any equipment needs a wipe down, please let a member of staff know. The JD Gyms Team 💚

The treadmill in ladies gym is not working. It seems rowing machine has some problem too. Before I took a break from gym, same treadmill was not working. I wonder why it is not maintained?

Thanks for leaving us some feedback Gloria. 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, either in person or via email. As the team could switch equipment around to ensure there the correct ratio of equipmwnt in the ladies only area. Alternatively we could also arrange a Trainer to accompany you on the gym floor if you are not too comfortable on your own.

I have been a member of the Swansea JD Gym for the last two years and have enjoyed my experience. However I think staff need to seriously reconsider how they talk to members. My friends and I have been approached and aggressively ‘told off’ for moving around the gym with a small sports bag (which carries water and equipment) and that our membership will be cancelled. Despite this never being an issue before and never having been told that this is not allowed. We have also been rudely approached for having not returned weights on our machine. To clarify, we always return equipment used, however at the time our machine had weights left on previously which we did not use and were honestly not strong enough to move as we did not place it there originally. I know that the same man has made other girls feel uncomfortable during workouts and has constantly stared and walked into the women’s only section on various occasions.

Hi Isobel. Thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback.
It's not good to hear that you didn't feel particularly welcomed by our team. We'll certainly raise this with the Area Manager!
We do understand there are ways of explaining our policies, with that said we do ask that members leave their belongings in a locker and not leave large bags of things on the floor around the equipment. This rule is in place to avoid trip hazards and as it keeps the gym tidier. We would at no point suggest that instead of carrying a bag, you empty the contents of a bag on the floor instead because that's clearly worse. The bag, plus the contents should be in a locker. It's understandable that certain items may be essential to your workout, e.g. a drink or some chalk. These small items can be placed in the holders on the equipment, or a small, discreet container such as a drawstring bag The JD Gyms Team 💚

The new layout in llansamlet swansea is OK. I do miss the ladies room . I like the fact all equipment is facing the front as looking at a wall wasn't very inspiring.
I like the ropes and the area for floor exercises.
What I am not keen on is the bright white lighting shining right down as I suffer with migraines, it's not the best lighting so I have to close my eyes at times when I am using certain machines. If this could be re jigged with some softer lighting or at least have them facing away from the face it was help. One other negative, there is nowhere to put your bags etc in the private cubicle in changing rooms except the wet floor ! I used to loved using the sauna , shower and change . If they put the cubicles back the way they were I would use again . It is a big part of my training to go to the gym and have the sauna to look forward to.
Seems like things have gone backward not forward
I also dislike having to use a qr code to get in and out seems like all money was used for the jail like feel of getting in .

Hello there Carol. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, although we are a little disappointed with the 3* rating, we are happy you have told us your concerns after llansamlet has had its refurbishment.
With how popular the llansamlet gym already was we felt it was important to open up the gym floor to make it more accessible for all of our members to make the most of the space inside the gym.
In terms of the equipment positioning and the lighting, please speak with the General Manager in llansamlet so they can make sure anything re-positioned is done so in a safe manner and you are not having to use equipment with your eyes closed which I am sure no-one would recommend.
The sauna is a great treat after a hard workout and should be enjoyed just as much as your time on the gym floor. Again please do not hesitate in contacting the management team in club regarding additional measures to keep your belongings off the floor in the changing rooms.
If you are ever habving trouble with the QR scanner please press the green 'push for assistance' button and a member of the team will come to assist you. We use a QR code system and turnstiles to ensure the safety of our membersand can have a 24/7 offering in llansamlet.

great gym, classes could be more consistent
Really nice gym with some amazing instructors. Nice layout. Great lighting and air-conditioning. The doors are annoying because the QR scanner often takes a while to work. Sometimes the app says there is a class on and it doesn't run. I only go to the gym for the classes so it's very disappointing when they don't run. The spin bikes could do with being updated and more classes offered outside of 9-5 mon-fri so people who work office hours can attend a good variety of classes outside of work
