JD Gyms Liverpool Belle Vale

You need to sort your staff out. Every night after 8pm a gang of kids between the age of 11-15 come into the gym unchallenged by staff and basically mess about , even seen a few of them vaping… staff are basically non existent and when they do show their face they don’t challenge this gang of kids that clearly should not be in the gym at that age. I’m yet to see how they get past the turnstiles but I can only assume their getting let in by staff but nevertheless they are getting in and messing about so it’s no suprise why things are broken. Sort it out JD this doesn’t happen at edge lane gym the staff their are excellent and are always a presence and I’ve never in all my time there seen anyone under age of 16 unlike belle vale which has become a youth club I wouldn’t mind if they wanted to come and learn how to train but their basically using the gym as a sit off, I’m sure the insurance company would not be best pleased if there was an accident

Does anyone work here anymore? Never see staff, phones never get answered. One time having lost property and couldn't get through on the phone for 2 days until I showed up in person again. Different occasion, Rang the call buzzer as I couldn't get in and had to climb the turnstile, pressed the call buzzer for when you're in the gym, no answer. Shut when it rains because it floods. Too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter. If it weren't the gym that my family goes to I'd have swapped a long time ago

The studio and spin class rooms are next to each other, the spin class always has the music blasting out way too loud. Makes a pilates class or using any of the machines near the spin.class unpleasant. Some of the equipment is worn and needs maintenance. The Zumba leader does not use a mic headset making it difficult for new people to follow the moves. Like others, I have to knock on the staff door to actually get assistance from staff as I don't often see them around. They are there!

The lack of maintenance on the devices is something that makes it difficult to perform some exercises. On some, something like oiling, tightening screws and changing the upholstery would solve the problem and be a game changer!And also the gym is freezing in winter and very hot in summer. In other words, no thermal insulation at all. And nothing is done to soften the thermal sensation.

Great facilities.Usually quiet after 8pm and not to busy first thing in the morning from 6am.I've got the multipass (extra £5 per month), which allows you to use any JD Gym.I regularly go to the lunch time HIIT classes in the Dale Street gym in the city centre - highly reccomended as its basically a PT for free!If I go right after work ill go to Hunts Cross (seems a lot bigger!)

I like it here, there’s a good range of cardio and weight equipment. Could do with a few more of the tall bikes instead of so many low ones.The worst thing though is when I get there around 5:30 pm the volume of the music is absolutely ridiculous, it’s like a night club! It’s not really enjoyable music (in my opinion), I can even hear it booming through my ear phones!

The gym space is good and most of the staff are helpful and friendly. However it's the same problem every year. It's freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer. Last winter I asked for the heating to be put on and the staff member (who had about 20 layers on to try and keep warm) told me they were not allowed to put it on and that head office controlled this. I've recently had to stop going to the yoga class with Gary (which I love) because it's just too cold to do yoga in the studio and throughout the class there is cold air blowing in. Apparently the thermostat is broken and due to be fixed. Still waiting.The bathroom/shower areas also need to be updated. Some of the other JD gyms have saunas in. This would be a great addition.Honestly with space at Belle Vale, this gym could be so much more.

No parking could not gain accessibility to the gym. Finally someone let us in. Ste the barber was his usual friendly self. Nice man good barber what more could you want. The gym side was like zombies woundring around waiting to eat you.

Join the gym for an amazing £5 for the first month. Great gym clean and tidy friendly staff and a great spin instructor Dave. All glasses are great and less than £20 a month would recommend to anyone.

Good gym but some of the gym equipment needs replacing. The leg extension machine is abit of a joke. There is no material left in it you are pressing onto metal. Cut my leg the last two times I have used it.
