JD Gyms - Rotherham Anmeldelser 

A pleasant all round experience

The Facilities are great. The staff are helpful. The environment is calm and respectful

Glad they have a ladies only section, but it could be made bigger.
I did enjoy my experience at the JD gym. Will return as a regular 😊

Gym is fairly clean. Decent selection of machines/equipment.

Too hot though, especially the last few days. Unbearable to workout in that heat.

Why not put the air-con on?

I really like the gym and the building size, there is a great range of equipment, however you could do with a few of the popular machines being duplicated, plate loaded chest machines and back machines especially 😁

No matter what time of day, the gym is constantly busy. The amount of parking is too generous for the amount of machines at the gym. I find the demographic of people there are rude and class it as a non friendly environment for casual gym-goers (3 times per week in my case). I'll be looking to cancel my membership after only one week and return to PureGym.

I rejoined gym again and it was so easy with the payment through your app

The set out and the facilities in the gym are excellent. The staff were very helpful when I first signed up.

Great to be honest, just started again after a long time and feel at home

Very good, would be better if there were physical gym cards instead of having to go onto the app everytime to get in and out

Someone stole my mums phone complained to staff they were hesitant to look at CCTV camera. They have not increased their security. And told me their CCTV camera doesnt cover certain areas of the public area of machines used both by men and women. What is the point of CCTV if it does not cover the whole area? What if a women got sexually abused or attacked or someone put a weapon out their cameras would not even cover it for evidence. Its quite digusting. And speaking to more customers more people are having their stuff stolen. You start to question is the staff members involved. They need to increase their security and think more for the customers.

First time at the Gym loved it lots of equipment nervous at first but my friend helped me and I really enjoyed it atmosphere was great it went very quick can't wait to go again well done JD

worst gym i’ve been to in my life, overcrowded. no staff in sight. terrible equipment and full of gangs of youths.

The machines and attachments are worn and tired.. other than that it’s a good gym just needs updating/upgrading.

Best gym ive been to, cheap prices and good support in the gym, always a good atmosphere

I feel the music seems to be wrong selections and they seem to repeat regularly I come in at set times due to work shifts and I see to hear same music I get abit fed up of hearing the same music especially for motivation purposes plus its not what id call gym music. Other then that I enjoy the friendly atmosphere but can get abit frustrated when waiting around to use set equipment if already occupied.

I know times are changing, but A lot of youths with phones setup recording everything, don't even feel like you can have a conversation with a friend anybody without it being broadcasted..

** UPDATE**
This place is carnage haha, if you're unfortunate enough to train between the hours of 5pm-8pm, this place is heaving, i suppose all commercials are but this is next level at times. You'll have people many times at prime time taking up both cables on the crossovers, not to do fly's but doing arms and using both sides of the cables without even offering to let people jump in, just grunt 8 sets left haha, people bringing benches over to the crossovers to do fly's at prime time - there's chuffing pec decs and benches for days - why take up a cross over at prime time to do 10 sets of fly's lol..... 3 - 4 man deep to a machine a lot of the time....as mentioned below this gym could be insane, it's huge, and has so much potential to being one of the best in the area in terms of commercial gyms but way way too much dead space, not enough equipment to service the foot fall at prime time.
Seen a few people whip tops of in the middle of the gym a few times, i mean i'm all for checking out the pump after a session but do it in the changing rooms haha either staff ain't noticed or DGAF.

please please get some more machines and equipment in, get that dead space cut down.

One major positive i have noticed, whenever a machine or piece of equipment is out of action, it isn't out of action long before being repaired.

No star reduction, just typical commercial gym but very easily improvable.

Recently joined this gym due to work relocation, been at various throughout Sheffield over the years, pures, gym groups, S20 and i'd say this gym beats the gym groups and pure gyms. Nice and clean, changing rooms were in good clean condition. Equipment wipes available. The gym itself is big, plenty of free weight benches and decent selection of free weights.
More than enough squat/power racks.

slight downsides in my opinion:
As people have mentioned before the code only working once a day could be a problem for some.
Too much dead space, could probably have a reorganisation and free up tons of space.
Not enough back machines or leg presses for how big the gym is. 1 leg press, 1 pendulum and 1 hack isn't enough for the size and footfall of the gym.

It'd be awesome if they invested in some hammer strength or similar style equipment. would caputre some serious market share then!!!
Overall a solid gym just needs a few tweeks and upgrades here and there.

But Please bring it new machine

I’ve only been a member for about a week, so this is an early review, but so far I’m really impressed. The gym itself is lovely, there’s loads of equipment, plenty to do, and for the price you pay the quality of the facilities is genuinely great.

The only reason I’ve knocked off a star is due to the class system. At the moment there’s no way to book onto classes in advance you just turn up and hope for a space. With the spin classes especially, I’ve arrived 15 minutes early on two occasions and most of the bikes were already taken with people’s belongings. I can imagine that during busier months like January and February it’ll be even harder to get into popular sessions. A simple pre‑booking option would make a huge difference.

Also, the ladies‑only area is a nice addition, but it is quite small and can feel crowded with just a handful of people. It’s optional, so not a major issue, but worth mentioning.

Overall though, it’s a great gym with brilliant value for money I’m enjoying it so far and hoping the class system might be improved in the future.
