Gym

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Excellent, I signed up today and I'm hoping to lose weight. My self confidence is low so I wanted to get into better shape. I was scared about people looking at me but the staff member who was in there was great and no one even looked or cared about what I was doing. Overall I enjoyed my experience... People often mention equipment, staff, great, clean, friendly, Great, classes, busy, good, Love,

    Probably the best gym I've ever been in, very clean, a substantial amount of equipment making it easy to get on things even at peak times. Definitely recommend the PTs too, they bring a very likeable and friendly environment with them and will always ensure you reach your goals.

    Very good 24 hour gym. Loads and loads of equipment - I go to several other JD's and this had much more equipment than others. Aircon isn't the best (think it's on a timer so not always on). Pretty busy even around 5am although as so much equipment haven't had to wait around. Deffo a 5 star for me!

    Very well stocked gym with up to date and fairly new equipment. I wouldn't say that there is anything I struggle to train. They also have a track for sleds and various activities which other gyms don't provide or allow which is great. The only real issue that holds this gym back from a 5* for me personally is how busy it tends to be during sociable hours considering it's a fairly small floor plate for a gym. More an issue of being the best option for a commercial gym in the area and having an oversaturation of members.

    Brilliant all round. Great equipment and facilities. Only lost a star as the changing room and showers are not 24 hours.

    The main issue I have with this gym is the AIR CON. It gets ridiculously hot and because its underground there is no airflow. The air con system is awful and needs replacing, the air is stale and affects your workout! The gym is also very busy after 5pm. But through the rest of the day it is okay. Can get the equipment you want most of the time. The gym has a good range of equipment and plenty of cable machines and attachments. It would be good if they replaced a decline bench press for another flat bench press. The squat racks are awkward to use as the hight increments are too spread out. The preacher curl equipment is too harsh an angle (they are almost vertical) and I have used better ones. Other than that the rest of the equipment is excellent.

    JD gyms don’t look after or maintain their equipment, to the point of malfunction and injury. I’ve made a million complaints/ suggestions but nothing changes. Everything is worn, dirty and not maintained so they can function. Prime example is the trx they have. They’ve be sued at a drop of a hat. Don’t get me started on the β€œair con”.

    Great gym! Has all of the essentials and isn't always jam-packed either! Staff are lovely and they have their own WiFi if you need internet access.

  • 5/5 Big B. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this gym but it needs 2 pec decs and when the kids are off school maybe only let them train 10am till 2pm as they train in groups of 4 plus and just sit around on machines not training which is unfair to the adults who actually want to train and only have a certain amount of time before heading off to work

  • 4/5 Ben S. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to 2 classes tonight, as there was a open week. Did the body pump class, which was brilliant. Then straight after shbam class, I've never done this class before. As I'm a member at the Warrington JD gym. But it was amazing and loved it. David took the classes, he's a brilliant friendly guy!! Shame I'm not gonna get to do the class again. But if there's another open week........... I'll be there!!

    Good gym for the price, would be nice if it had a bigger sauna and a steam room would happily pay at bit more for that

  • 5/5 daniel d. 1 year ago on Google
    Great range of equipment and friendly atmosphere. Any issues are delt with quickly. The manager always has time and a smile for anyone

  • 5/5 Cj S. 11 months ago on Google
    Very reasonable prices, great equipment, friendly staff, can be very busy during peak times though

  • 5/5 Craziest V. 10 months ago on Google
    Gym is great. Stays fairly tidy and clean considering it's a bit busy one. It is by far the best 24hr type gym and the value for what you get is great such as saunas and yoga everyday. Love all the weights kit they have too. My favourite is the glute thrust machine, squat machine and pendulum leg press

  • 4/5 Cassandra B. 9 months ago on Google
    Great gym, lots of kit and great variety of kit from plate loaded to pin . Loads of cardio and a functional area. Changing rooms were very clean and theres a sauna in each changing room. Only thing thats disappointing is how much the members leave plates on kit or on the floor. It takes seconds to put your plates away.

  • 5/5 Wang P. 7 months ago on Google
    Brilliant gym and classes. My partner goes for the boxing, freeweights and all the weight loading kit while I go for the classes as they do yoga every day now, sometimes twice a day and from October 2023 onwards they're having pilates on 3 times a week. Was 2 previously. Now I'll be able to alternate yoga and pilates every day. Every Sunday I have a session with Personal Trainer Matthew too who does some boxercise with me to keep fit. Yoga John Malloy who does yoga on Saturdays is the best instructor ever. So knowledgeable and would like to see him teach Tai Chi there too.

  • 5/5 Loft G. 10 months ago on Google
    Love it, love it, love it. Love the tyre flip, crossfit area, dedicated leg and bum area and sled track. Personal trainer Mark is one of the best in the staff team. Heard Tai Chi is coming soon which would be wonderful

  • 5/5 Emma Jane K. 6 months ago on Google
    I wanted to give this 1 star just so no one else finds out how good this gym is and value for money. Truth is I'd give it 6 stars if there was the option. Really clean, excellent up to date equipment ( treadmill is in miles which I like!!), lovely soothing lighting and changing rooms are like being in a way more expensive spa.

  • 3/5 Roman L. 5 months ago on Google
    Hello, I haven't been to the gym but hoping to get a response from the owner what age can start at your gym? Also great job lots of people are saying it's good

  • 5/5 Leanne 7 months ago on Google
    Kept clean and tidy. Good equipment and plenty of different options. Different classes ran through the day/week. Love it for the 24/7 access.

  • 5/5 Mandy J. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant gym, clean, loads of equipment and friendly staff. Only done 2 classes, both been really good.

  • 4/5 Agata R. 1 year ago on Google
    Compare to other commercial gyms in UK i will choose JD Gym. Sauna, cardio machines, cleanliness are the best. I can not give 5 stars as lights are not located properly, especially on dead lift section and also showers really smells which indicates for me high level of breathable bacteria which can effect your lounges

  • 5/5 Akiva W. 1 year ago on Google
    Gym is amazing and the plate loaded kit for leg days are great. 24hr access so always open (so no waiting outside in the rain) and can get in super early. Best range of classes which are all free and a lovely sauna too. It's no contract too which is a nice Brucy bonus

  • 5/5 Ahmed H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very well organised space gym , location is so good and easy to get to ,the place also has variety of machines and studios to use

  • 3/5 Chloe S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym, loads of equipment, friendly staff, clean & excellent value for money. It gets really busy so where possible I avoid peak times, the main issue is the aircon. It is unbearably hot, I have felt like I was going to pass out with the heat many times. I take an electrolyte before training & put my water in the freezer but it doesn’t make much difference with that heat. It is affecting my workouts as I cannot seem to progress due to the high temperatures, I am currently maintaining but in the cooler months I can improve endurance. It is such a shame because I wouldn’t mind paying more each month in order for nice cool aircon, it really lets the place down.

  • 5/5 Loublou D. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been a member since the day the gym opened and I love it. The amount of equipment is outstanding and the staff are friendly and helpful. The gym is always so clean/tidy and when equipment breaks or needs work, it’s done quickly. Members just gets on with what they are doing….smashing it. Keep it up JD Widnes.

  • 5/5 Ashley B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym. Love the layout and the changing rooms are clean and modern with showers, lockers and spa (when it reopens). Equipment is new and well looked after. The spin studio looks great! I definitely recommend this gym!

  • 4/5 Michael C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym I'm a JD plus member so I use the Widnes facility at weekends because of the hours. Never too busy.

  • 5/5 lianne j. 2 years ago on Google
    This is my 2nd time going here and its great to go here all the equipment and gym itself is always clean and theres spray around to wipe down the equipment after use, changing rooms are clean aswell x

  • 5/5 Paul H. 2 years ago on Google
    This gym is friendly, plenty of equipment in the huge complex, lots of classes to join in with throughout the day, I especially like the boot camps with Zak and Jack and also Zaks personal training group classes. Plenty of free parking and the management staff really listen to their clients and help to change the timetables to suit the customers needs, they do it with a continuing improvement mentality trying to make it the best gym around and nothing is too much trouble, in my opinion it is and I live 20 minute drive away πŸ‘
