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.

Hi there
Thank you for your feedback.
Hello! Thanks for leaving us some feedback, we appreciate it.
We are a 24-hour gym in Swansea, but due to there being less staff on duty throughout the night, areas which are not covered by CCTV are closed t for the safety of our members (i.e. the main changing rooms and saunas).
We do however leave the accessible changing room open at all times, as well as there being lockers for you to use. If you need to get changed or grab a shower during the night, that option is there for you and you'll have complete privacy in there.
Hope this helps!

Rammed equipment in a small space
1. The equipment is good quality but no PTs or anyone around if you have any issues with anything 2. the equipment is way to close together there’s no personal space between anything 3. the setup is very strange 4. It’s constantly busy which means hanging around and a lot of waiting I gave up and went home early because of this 5. Weights are thrown everywhere and never put back near the racks, found myself hunting around for weights after every set.

Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
We are sorry you weren't able to find a member of staff to help on this occasion.
If you would like an induction, please get in touch with your gym directly and a member of the team can help arrange this for you.
We try our best to encourage our members to return the weights after use. Our fabulous staff are usually on hand to help with returning the weights, if you can't see anyone please press the green button by the entrance and a staff member will come to you. So if you are ever struggling, please don't hesitate to ask!

Gym can be overly busy at times I would expect to be quiet so sometimes I don’t get to use the equipment I would like to.

I joined a week ago and visited Swansea gym three times. Pleased with the cleanliness of the place, plenty of equipment and clean changing rooms. Friendly atmosphere. Really enjoy the place. No frills, just the kit you need for a good sweaty workout.

I've been really impressed with the gym…
I've been really impressed with the gym facilities at JD Gyms in Swansea. The atmosphere is welcoming, and I feel motivated every time I walk in. The staff have been incredibly helpful and friendly, making me feel comfortable as a newcomer especially the manager Yogesh I love his presence and he is motivating throughout my regular basis. I've tried out a few classes, and they've been challenging but enjoyable. The equipment is top-notch and always available when I need it. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my experience at JD Gyms and would highly recommend it to others

Dangerous and unhygienic!
There’s been no aircon in the gym in Swansea for way over a year now. Every time someone complains it’s just ignored and we get told “head office won’t do anything about it”.
How can you run a gym without air conditioning as 1. It’s not healthy, especially when people are sweating in there and doing classes and nearly passing out from the heat.
2. It’s dangerous as there’s buckets everywhere with water leaking from the aircon units in the ceiling.
You're charging people a membership fee for an unhygienic and dangerous gym.
Surely you can’t leave it like this for another year?
Something needs to be done about it!

Hi there
Thank you for taking time to leave your review.
We do currently have an issue with the extraction. This has been escalated and we are currently waiting for engineers to attend. In the meantime we are opening doors for ventilation.
If you are still concerned, please email the General Manager on swansea@jdgyms.co.uk and they can give you more details on the timelines of completion.
We apologise for any inconvenience this might be causing you but can assure you the gym is still a safe environment to train in.
We hope this helps.

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.

Few machines are out of order.

I love coming to this gym however
I love coming to this gym, the staff are friendly and classes are great however the majority of the time there isn't enough staff to make it a comfortable place to be, today I came in to the weights section (near the smith machines) two very loud guys come in, one sits on top of the weights and obnoxiously talk almost shouting at each other, of course they have every right to be there but not on the weights, it made me very uncomfortable as one was sitting on the weights I needed and I didn't feel safe or happy being there in all honesty. I had to go to the other side of the gym and find alternatives, it's been a lot like this lately, even in the early mornings there are weights left absolutely everywhere, people don't care, I go to use the smith machine a lot and most of the time it has been left with over 20kgs each side and a bench in the middle which I have to move. With no staff around, people just don't care, it's not an inclusive place to be and I shouldn't have to shun myself to the tiny women's only gym room to feel comfortable

First visit yesterday
First visit yesterday. Could not get in, no staff to be seen. Somone advised me I needed my phone. I don't want to take my phone to the gym.
I got in, where are the changing rooms, again there are no staff. I have no idea of emergency exits or procedure.
Lockers, you need your own lock, you should of outline this, before I'd got there.
I went to look for someone to show me how to use equipment. I asked about 25 people, no-one had seen anyone ever, one member had been there for 6 months. I felt lost and embarrassed I was standing around, someone advised knock the private doors, no-one answered.
Surely I should know the fire policy and safety of equipment. No signs to show where the water machine was. It was an hour of hell looking like a fool.
Leaving I had no idea how to get out, there were no signs by the barriers, kids hanging around the entrance area, were actually laughing at me. I had to wait till someone was leaving to ask, it was as simple as scanning the QR code again but there should be a sign. I reluctant to go back, I expected more, who has a gym with no staff on the floor to help people.

Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We are sorry to read that you were unable to access the gym when you arrived. We will have sent you a welcome email with all information regarding entry, how to download the QR code and scanning yourself in and out of the building. We are sorry if you missed this email.
If you get stuck again there is a green buzzer by the entrance, just give this a press and a member of staff will be notified and make their way to you.
If staff are busy with other members or completing their daily checks you may not be able to locate them. We would recommend booking an induction so that you can be show where all the fire exits are, changing room and equipment. You will also be given a demonstration of how the equipment works. Inductions aren't compulsorily but some members find them really useful if they're new to the gym or need a refresher.
You can book an induction by calling the gym or emailing swansea@jdgyms.co.uk
We hope this all helps.

Okay
Clean facilities. Good price with offer. However, can’t rely on the class timetable as not all run - asked member of staff if there is a way of knowing if a class is not on but they said it’s out of their control. Also alot of machine are out of order or not working properly… I.e treadmills. Leaving after the one month offer.
