The women’s area really needs an upgrade; more weights, barbells, and benches would make a huge difference. Right now it’s mostly cardio equipment, which can easily be done in the park if we’re being... See more

Disgusting JD GYM BIRMINGHAM
Iv been a member of the Halesowen branch and recently had to use the Birmingham branch, Now me thinking Birmingham JDGym would be the ultimate of JD gyms and I was disappointed.
Weights missing, weights are old, machines broken and tired equipment,generally just not a nice atmosphere.
Changing rooms lockers broken, old seating.
Showers had an unpleasant smell, and the floor was brown, but is meant to be grey.
Just isn’t a great experience or advertisement for JD GYM.
And this is all at charge per month.
Thanks not happy.

The gym looks good from the outside but once you start going there for a while u realise that the equipment isn’t taken care of properly. Half the time the cable pins are missing or there’s some type of problem with them and the lat pull downs are usally broken aswell which only leaves 1 or 2 working ones which makes it harder to workout quickly

Small
I am rating a one star for JD gyms is because they have a very small sections for women. This is the Newtown branch. The women’s side only have the treadmill and stair master mostly. There are no weights and it’s also a very small space. This is very problematic for those who are uncomfortable in the mix section so they want to be in the woman’s section onto to find out there’s not as many equipment as there is in the mix sections. Also you have to bring your own pad lock or pay to get one there. I do not believe this should be happening.

Not very accommodating
Not accommodating of different needs, neither organised. Finally toilets always have a lingering stench that surrounds that whole area, nor clean.

Needs serious improvement
Needs serious improvement. The gym is cramped, the AC doesn't work, and key equipment like the boxing bags are broken or missing. The layout is inconvenient, staff are rarely visible, and new members don't even get a welcome tour. For these reasons, I won't be staying a member for much longer.

Prayer mats on the ground floor is unacceptable, unwelcoming and territorially marked (basically saying this is a muslim only gym), everyone is in the gym to exercise and partially socialise, the place is basically hostile, many people are bothered about it but i doubt they have written to JD GYM. I think il be cancelling my membership

JD gym Birmingham is not good by any means
The weights are scattered all over the 1st floor area. There are little to no facilities where you can practice or train calisthenics skills because the roofs are too low down. It’s also quite small, in comparison to the JD gym in my hometown despite being £7 more monthly and £84 more annually.

This review is solely for JD Gym Birmingham
This review is solely for JD Gym Birmingham. I had been a member of JD gyms for almost 5 years. I was originally at the West Brom branch but moved to the Birmingham one due to moving house. This gym has made me single handedly move to Foundry Gym.
The machines at this gym are always broken and never fixed in a timely manner. The leg extension machine had been broken since June, it is not september and it still hasn’t been fixed or replaced. Pins are always missing out of machines and there always a god awful smell when you first walk in. The gym needs some serious attention. £30 a month for an absolute garage environment.
JD gym west brom has a place in my heart, but the birmingham branch has severely ruin JD gym for me.

Changing rooms showers and toilets are in immediate need of improvement and maintenance. No running hot water in showers. A stench coming from the drains.

More equipment
Having rejoined the gym since terminating it in 2024 I am happy to see the layout of the women's section has been changed with more training machines that actually work.
However, toilets still have the same bad smell.
