Absolutely love this gym, so glad we joined. From the first visit to look around Lisa was amazing, so friendly and nice, after joining Sam Blunt a PT there was also great, he showed me around the weights floor and how to use the machines that were different to ones I'd used before. The range of weight training equipment is fantastic, couldn't ask for more, there are so many free weights and benches you never have to wait, tons of squat racks, you can use the spin studio anytime a class isn't on, you don't need to book classes, big changing rooms, lots of lockers, free parking in the Harvey Centre, all for £23 per month AMAZING. Also the place has a great overall vibe, the staff are excellent and other members are friendly. The best gym I've ever been a member of and I've belonged to quite a few over the years. Love it. Highly recommend. Well worth the drive from Epping.

Great gym in general for the price. Where it falls short is the women’s only section is tiny and the weights are not heavy enough. I usually use the free weights but it’s becoming incredibly tiresome having my training being interrupted by various men trying to talk to me whilst I train or staring and trying to catch my attention. Of course this isn’t a problem unique to JD Gyms. Suggestion: better equip the women’s only section, or better remove the men who behave in such a way. Feeling uncomfortable whilst training really shouldn’t be facilitated.

Been training with Sam for a few months now and his training style is completely different from the other PTs, he makes sure every session is fun and has progression and makes good use of the gym equipment. Highly recommend him to anyone wanting coaching!!

Joined Jd Gym Harlow in November, all staff was friendly and approachable, currently personal training with Jack and he’s been superb, makes you feel comfortable and keeps you on track, it’s a clean friendly environment with great management, credit to all the staff that make this place outstanding 🙌🏻

I've have been using the Harlow gym for several years, in fact I joined when it was the previous owner. I echo what the previous post said about the time it takes to fix things, but in addition, I have an issue with the locker room. Several lockers are unusable and some people have decided to OWN a locker by keeping a lock on it forever. Not only is this selfish, but also a security risk. A terrorist could easily pack a locker with explosive and blow up the whole Harvey centre. Before you say that this is far fetched, it has been done in the past. That is why you do not see lockers in stations any more. The notice says that lockers will be emptied every night but this does not happen. I have raised this issue before and been told that if there are no lockers, I could leave my clothes in the staff room.. That is such a cop out. I was in the gym at 8 at the weekend and counted 23 lockers padlocked by selfish individuals and as I say many of the others are wrecked, so come on JD get the bolt cutters out and put a stop to this greedy practice Following the above, I had a phone call agreeing with my points and promising that these rogue padlocks would be cut off that night. Well, that night has been and gone and nothing has been done. Why am I not surprised. JD should go into politics promising things and not delivering. 3 days and counting let's see if anyone can be bothered to put things right!

Only one male sit down toilet cubicle in the building. No gym user wipes the machines down after them apart from two people and one is myself. Corona has NOT gone away. Gym staff stand around in tight shirts ignoring customers with not so much as a good morning how are you? Plus they are not correcting people's bad form. Money money money.

I go to this gym 3 times week However unbelievable there was no men's showers for a week .could management not of informed members? Or even posted a sign up as youwalk in. This is lack of good service. Next time some one please think how are we supposedly going to wash before work!

Being a member in the last year and quite happy with the refurbishment. However, in the last weeks I have seen many young kids alone or in groups using the machines or free weights without any adult supervision, they look like 12-14 years old . Not sure if that is even legal.

It's nice, new modern look. So far air con is good but we'll wait for some hot summer days to see how it's going to work. One down side... It's a gym not a disco night club. It's supposed to be well lit, especially the studio. There's some corners of the studio where it's pitch black. Different colour spot lights are very bad idea... Looks nice but not practical.

Nicely refurbished from the previous gym and still remains decently priced. The lighting in the gym takes a little getting used to but the equipment is very nice. Some members of staff are nicer than others however.

At first I loved this gym but now I feel quite let down. I started the Body Pump classes (which are amazing!) but the timetable has changed and made both weekday classes at the same time meaning that they both finish really late. Why this decision was made I don't understand. Both classes will now finish very late. I used to be able to do one late class a week, but two is ridiculous. Now, I'm tempted to either find another gym with these classes or invest in the Les Mills app. They have a few Total Body classes a week, but they are run completely differently. In general, the consistency with the types of classes is a bit off. If the Women's Only part of the gym is of particular importance to you, then I would say that this is not the gym for you. The women's area is really small and quite popular. When I joined, I wasn't even interested in the classes. They are great, but some of the decisions that have been made make no sense to me and now I feel like I'm not getting value for money. This review is based mainly on classes as that has been my core focus and experience with the gym.

I left a great review for this gym before...but i retract it. The gym is absolutely horrific if you really want to train. There are multiple cables broken, nobody makes sure weights are put back, machines broken, there was 2 hand dryers in mens changing, 1 broke they just filled it over and now the other is broke. Air con on the hottest days is never on. Same excuses. Seems like there is no staff and its honestly most of the time like a playground. So yeah this gym is shocking to say the least

Been loyal to that gym since start, even before, when there was 2 previous owners under different name- always clean, stuff helpfull, especially manager. They really try to fix broken gym gear as quick as possible.Never gonna change for other gym!!!

Nice gym, good equipment, good price, there is almost a 80+% chance you'll be recorded by someone using a tripod which kinda sucks but I guess that's the trade off for the price

Love the gym! Amazing staff. Amazing equipment and space! Just wish it were 24 hours or later than 10pm and opened later on weekends 😭 Keep up the great work!

Only complaint, only 2 lat pull down machines which is awful. Secondly, staff does not constently organise Dumbbells in right order so always have to go on a hunt to find the right pair.

Best gym I’ve been to. Has a lot of machines and plenty of weights. Staff is nice and friendly.

£20 a month is honestly a really good price for this place, it has 2 floors of equipment you could use including treadmills, bench presses and other things. Tends to get busy at times but not to the scale where you'd have to wait alot of time, people there are generally friendly too :).

I am currently a member at jd harlow and I like the gym, but would love more hip thrust machines added as there is only one in the weight lifting area and the one in the ladies gym is broken, so I would be happy if you can add more. Also for a better organisation and efficiency, would be amazing if you can group the machines that " work" a certain type of muscle togheter on the same floor, I think more of your members would really appreciate it. Thank you!

AMAZING GYM, AMAZING WORKOUTS! The staff here is incredibly friendly and extremely qualified! I love this place. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get in shape.

Great gym- clean, lots of equipment and friendly staff. A great variety of classes- I love that the gym has a dedicated spin studio! Have been working out with Nicky hill fitness for the past 10 months and continue to enjoy my workouts

Superb gym and facilities! So glad I joined. Extremely worth the money, lots of equipment, even at peak times - wait times are not that long! Friendly atmosphere and environment

Quite like the gym and staff, however I won't be rejoining as I hate the music so much, and it's so loud I can't even listen to my buds, working out to great upbeat music is the best but different stuff for different ages and tastes would be nice....

Great collection of weights and space. You'll definitely get a great work out here for a small fee every month. Also save money on parking. Music is too loud in the changing rooms, womens changing room can often get a strange sewage smell and showers are okay.

Cannot fault it! Having been a member of another local gym for over double the price, this gym has so much more to offer. Brand new equipment, staff that are into their fitness & actually know what they’re doing, it’s so clean all of the time. As someone who suffers with “gym anxiety” I feel comfortable and almost confident just getting on with my session. Recommending to anyone I talk to :)

Excellent gym. For £20 per month you won't find a gym of this size with this much top quality equipment anywhere else.

Absolutely great gym, have been training there for 10 months now with Nicky Hill Fitness and have got to know all the staff well. A great team and always ready to help.

Nice facility. Although the walk from the carpark takes up too much time. And is full of little muppets with attitude.

Great Gym and well priced. Lisa is great always bubbly and welcoming. The gym is always clean and tidy. One small gripe sometimes I train twice a day but can only be scanned in once I need someone to let me in the second time. Other than that all good! 👍🏻

Pros: Good equipment. Good inside area for bikes. Cons: Lots of broken carabiners on equipment . Toilets - only one not good. Showers ok - when they work, been put for mors than a week as I write this. Staff are nice but not sure they are very proactive (due to above) Conclusion: Not bad but no bargain . Pure gym is better but equipment is slightly worse, definatley better if you are a cardio person.

Nice place but need some friendly instructor rather than personal trainer

Amazing staff amazing clothes

Great gym and bargain prices. Classes are top class

This is a very nice gym in terms of equipments and cleanliness. Also provides free parking which is a plus. What is not so good is the gym's AC: on a cold day like today (3 degrees outside), it's really cold in the gym and it's really difficult to break a sweat!!
