    I went to the gym with the intention of improving my mental health. I paid for 10 lessons with a PT (Mark). He is an irresponsible professional who always canceled classes at the last minute and on top of that we only did 8 classes with me and refused to refund my money or finish the classes! It took me 3 months to do these 8 classes. In conclusion, I had a horrible experience and I will never go back to this gym and I recommend you guys look for another one! I was practically robbed...

    the gym is ok, but I don't recommend taking classes with a personal trainer (mark). because I paid for 10 classes and besides him always canceling classes at the last minute, he refused to give me the last two classes that were missing and he didn't want to return my money. Ridiculous! I practically got robbed!

    I really do enjoy this gym and was going to give it a 5 but in this hot weather this gym is so warm and it's hard to work out . Other gyms I have been to use AC and are much cooler and easier to train at. They have large fans which don't help . Being overweight I struggle with the heat and sweat too much

    It's ok, well equipped and new equipment but it's busy and can be difficult to get on the machines or weights. It would be a good idea for them to expand the gym with a second floor and move cc equipment upstairs and double up on all equipment. Also they need to recruit PT's that actually know what they are doing and not just been on a PT training course, everyone is different and things need to be adjusted, plus I ha e seen customer failing to engage their glutes etc and the PT's don't raise it or guid them to do so meaning they aren't getting the best out of their exercise. You can't fault it for being a good starting point but they didn't think about expansion if/when it became busier, also make a decision on the windows and stick to it.

    This gym is well equipped and even on peak times there is enough equipment for everyone. The cost is an absolute bargain and customer service is excellent. The criticism I have is the lack of cleaning sprays dotted around. We need 2 on the back wall at least near the treadmills. I do bring my own wipes/towel as a norm but it would be good to have access to more, I don't want to be using equipment after someone has sweated all over it. Also the treadmills need that little more space in between again even if it means relocating 2 to achieve this, they are just that little too close for comfort. Minor tweaks that can be achieved easily. Apart from my points I'm really happy to be a member.

    Buyer beware. Had to amend my rating despite being advertised as 24 hours the gym wil not allow you to access normal sized lockers, showers or sauna on the weekends (between 0600-0700) despite EVERY OTHER JD GYM being fully open at these times. When raised I was told this was due to cctv restrictions. I would hope there aren’t any cctv stations in the changing rooms anyway. No clear reason why wythenshaw members have it worse than everyone else, there is no clear signage or information anywhere or on the site despite Gyms+ being pushed at every opportunity. Either we can’t be trusted, no one knows or the managers of this gym don’t know what they’re doings that may also account for why the changing rooms continuously smell of excrement regardless of what time you go. For a bare bones gym experience on the weekends there are better, cheaper and closer gyms available.

    So moved from Salford jd to this gym, was wary and was defo the moaning member to start off with! Haha but after a few months the gym settled and it’s now a nice gym with good equipment, great staff and good classes. I train here a lot and enjoy it. The burn studio can be a tad loud at times but is in the middle of the gym! All round though it’s a great gym especially for the price.

    Im a regular at this gym, has never been as bad as it has recently. Very understaffed and very rude especially the cleaning staff. Not a friendly gym environment at all. Closed showers alot earlier than usual, leaving people frustrated and annoyed and when asked why cleaning staff argued in a rude manner that it was protocol? When they have always been open all the other times I’ve used them during this time frame. Recently foul odours in the showers for the past few weeks (egg, vomits??!!) everyone complaining about this a lot! (men&womens). Cleaning staff swearing out loudly at how he hates his job and was being rude to us and turned off the water mid showers ! Never really complain but this was truly the worst gym experience I’ve ever had.

    I really want to give higher rating because gym is very well maintained and even when is busy there is always enough equipment. Unfortunately there is few downsides to it which is: opening and closing time (6-22:00) especially over the weekend (8-8). You can’t carry you bag with you, even tho we all know how much equipment we need for squats. Only liquid chalk allowed (which is fine I guess). Most of the staff are very friendly and helpful, but I had an incident with one of them that wasn’t in his uniform at the time. I asked him how many sets he have left. He said two. So I we start setting up rack next to him with my mate because we just wanted to train together a the same time. So he did way more than two sets and was dragging for ages while sitting on his phone. When I saw him taking plates off (after way more than two sets) I asked if he finished and in a very rude way he said “No”. Then didn’t do anything with weight for good 5-10 minutes. One of his mates/partner/customer (idk) came around and lift up the weight maybe 3 times and stayed with the weighs while he went and got changed in his uniform and came back. Idk it would be better if he would just tell me that he have a lot of sets and training someone after, so I wouldn’t stand there like a nob waiting for him to finish after 2 sets. Idk some people profession is to work with people but they can’t even behave around them.

    So this gym is hotter than the sun, thats not being literal, they spent alot of money installing a new air conditioning system, thats now never used. Its always hotter inside the gym, than it is outside. Then youll have to wait to use machines, and the minute you get on a popular machine, youll have someone waiting to use it after you.

    One of the better commercial gyms around but still definitely just a commercial gym. No proper bench press stations, not allowed chalk (can use liquid chalk though), no bags on the gym floor, standard stuff. Staff very welcoming and friendly and for 95% of people will be absolutely perfect. For any serious strength or powerlifting training not really suitable but for 95% of people it would be great. For the amount of money put into the gym it’s just a bit disappointing there isn’t a proper bench press combo rack or something!!

    The gym overall is good, great price, car park, and lots of cardio equipment - however I get anxiety when I have to go there because I mainly do strength exercises, and 50% of the time at least i have to queue to access the leg machines. Switching to 24 hours or extending the opening times would be great to curb that issue, as there would not be enough space to add more machines I guess. Certainly 5 stars for cardio lovers and class goers!

    Good gym but needs a better vetting process when taking on members under 18. A lot of the "16 year olds" were obviously younger. Very crowded way to many members for that premise had to carry on waiting to use equipment.

    My second home. Been here since it opened. The convenience of the location, the size of the gym and great facilities also friendly PT’s have facilitated some incredible gainz. Would recommend to anyone local. It’s got all you’ll need.

    Great gym! Highlight of my day when I go here. The female changing rooms are very clean with a more than suitable amount of lockers. There are spray bottles of antibacterial situated around the gym so you can clean equipment/machines before and after use. A good selection of machines and equipment that the JD team are more than happy to show you how to use. The only downside being that it can get super busy given its location and it being a commercial gym. If you time it right though you can get in a really good workout.

    Hii. Ive written a review for this gym a month ago and i am happy with what i said however, over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that whenever i go to the shower at around 7-8 pm. There is a foul smell. I thought this was just for a day and let it past me but everyday i would still come and it was still there. Ive had friends tell me that they were noticing it. And i would say i am very disappointed because it really ruins your relaxing experience in the gym showers. I believe this is either due to the pipes and/or the drains so please can you sort this out. I have never experienced this before until last week. Thank u!!

    I cannot fault it. The place and equipment is well maintained. There is good space. The staff is knowledgeable. I get the sauna I have been longing for and even classes I can join. The only thing I am missing is hot yoga, but that would be the absolute cherry on top. 😅 Happy I tried it!

    My mother had the worst experience at Wythenshawe JD she is a vulnerable lady who does not speak English but she can fully understand. staff treat out really disgusting and very disrespectful she’s an elderly person she didn’t need to be speak to the way they did treat her that disrespectful manner. I have never experienced this type of behaviour from a big company like this All she did was walk around the aisle I’m looking for some items to buy and she sneezed and this was not during Covid time so I did not understand a human being cannot sneeze so they escorted her from the whole shop and screamed kicked her out for no reason she was confused vulnerable asking people why why and when she asked why the lady disrespecte she said you are disgusting Screaming at at her like she was stealing-have been living in Wythenshawe for five years My mother is 62 years old how can you be profiling people like that I don’t understand 😒

    Spacious gym. Machines, weights and classes will laid out across the floor. Reception is very helpful and friendly. Even in the busiest times, you'll find a choice of cardio machines

  • 4/5 Saaa A. 7 months ago on Google
    I dont have any problems with the equipment and some of the staff members but i have lots of work to do so I genuinely try to find time to go to gym. I just hoped that this gym would be open 24/7. Please do something about the timings JD GYM 💚 Also, ive been going to those cycling classes and there is a teacher, (dont know her name) i think shes a bit ginger butt I absolutely love her. I think she covers for her colleagues. She puts a smile on my face and i leave the classes feeling proud. Her communication skills and her understanding is so impeccable. Shes my motivation ❤️❤️☺️

    Excellent gym with wide variety of equipment and friendly, helpful staff. Extremely good value for money. Have recently started PT sessions with Dan, which have been excellent. I've already learned a lot about form and have been able to push myself to new levels. Dan is very approachable and patient, and has also given great advice about diet. Highly recommended this gym!

    The staff have been incredible since I a 20stone woman turned up. They have encouraged me to keep going and not to feel Out of place. The facilities are great. Lots of machines that are always busy very early and around 5pm. But otherwise great prices and changing rooms and staff.

  • 5/5 Claire J. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing staff, very clean and tidy & good music when you forget your headphones 😂😂 I’ve been a member since 2018 but always been a yo-yo member due to not knowing much about exercise and being too shy to ask questions! I started to attend spin frequently and met Jon who answered all my questions 🙈 since having Jon as my personal trainer, not only has he helped me smash my Weightloss & started me on my fitness journey properly, He has helped me to not only love being in the gym but to love myself and find my confidence. His pt sessions aren’t easy! But so they shouldn’t be , they are so enjoyable due to his personality and jokes. Even when I want to give up he pushes me and. my body to our capabilities and makes me believe in myself and with that I’ve learnt to trust him and to keep myself out of that comfort zone.. I cannot thank him enough :) even with my daft questions or goals he remains professional and helps me with his answers. I cannot wait to see what I can achieve alongside him & I will recommend him to everyone. Thankyou Jon

    Great gym, great equipment, great staff. For what can be a very daunting experience for a lot of people, there's always a welcoming face & staff available if you need anything. Classes are great and varied. Huge shout out to Liam Dooley who I do PT sessions with - I started out very overwhelmed, nervous & self conscious but he's so patient, encouraging & really makes you look forward to the next session 💪Thanks

  • 4/5 Dan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Go here all the time, it is good, not that many queues for machines even at peak times, it can be a little too hot and music isn't always my taste, but the gym overall is great.

  • 5/5 Alex D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great layout and welcoming staff. PT Daniel is great. He’s been great guiding me through all the bits of equipment they’ve got, pushing me to obtain my goals. Was new to the gym but thanks to Daniel I’m more confident at pushing myself. Most importantly every session has been enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Jess B. 2 years ago on Google
    Love Jd! Fab equipment with great equipment. Really friendly, helpful staff. Classes are great way to get familiar with gym and meet other members. I absolutely love Dans body pump as it’s tested my fitness and really enjoyable.

  • 3/5 Mohammed I. 1 year ago on Google
    A great gym with loads of cardio machines available separate biking and fitness area availble. The only draw back is body building areas lacks some equipments and space is an issue it's cramped. Overcrowded at peak times.
