JD Gyms Bolton

Top beautiful gym it definitely has a warm welcoming look to it as opposed to the cheap warehouse type rough look gyms. They have heavier free weights than the normal gyms this definitely was a major appealing factor for me even at peak time I wasn't waiting around for the ample machines located around, indeed they have multiple duplicate machines for the same muscle group all this and the cherry on the cake is the Sauna at the end of the session . The cleanliness of the shower and toilet area can be described as pristine the only negative for me is that there's no steam room at this gym.

Good gym overall, very nice atmosphere. Just the odd equipment at peak times you have to wait for or people faffing when using equipment (not using it on there phones ect) ever since the gym became 24h you don’t see many JD staff around, you see the PTs. No cleaning solution and blue roll anymore. That’s the only down side otherwise I would have given 5 starts. Over all good gym, good environment, good design, can be very busy after 5-6.

This is the 3rd gym I have signed up for since deciding to make a life style change. It’s large, open & well ventilated compared to the gym group & pure gym this is a great gym!. It can be very busy at times mainly with people loitering and not working out. In the evenings you tend to see a lot of younger people sneaking in which can be frustrating. The male janitor who’s on at night is really friendly & approachable and even though it’s not his job if you have any questions about where something is or how to use the vending machines etc he’s more than happy to help you. The main problem is members not cleaning up after themselves (empty bottles etc). The main thing wrong with the gym for me is that there are no cleaning stations with sanitiser spray and blue roll to clean machines down after you have used them which I very unusual. With it being a 24hr gym and like most 24hr gyms it’s hard to monitor who’s entering / sneaking in the only solution would be to have security on the door like they do in Manchester 24hr gyms. Overall it’s a great gym and I’m happy here for now until I get more confident, but the main problem is nothing to do with the gym but the people who use it and who are not respectful of the space.
