Jd Gyms Shrewsbury

First visit the staff were rude when our app wouldn't work and weren't happy. Told them my name and typed in a completely different one and moaned when my name didn't appear. Couple of weeks in the main entrance is closed for works so using side door. No one was at door keeping an eye so anyone could wonder in. One visit after they finally have someone there and of course is same person as first visit and isn't happy can't find my name. I like this gym and will keep going with the equipment it provides but I want to feel relaxed and sadly I don't. The gym is always busy no matter what time I go with the machines I want always being used the whole hour I'm there for.

Read carefully any serious lifters. With JD going 24/7 in order to compete with Pure Gym, the gym has implemented a no gym bag policy or chalk on the gym floor. Serious lifters may have in their bags - straps, wristwraps, kneewraps, sleeves, gloves, belt, shoes, squat shoes, chalk, waterbottle, bands, headphones, notebook and a towel. There is no way anyone who carries their kit is going to be heading back and forth to the locker to satisfy a naive and ill thought out rule. In fact, most thefts from gyms happen from lockers. In the decades I’ve been training not once has anyone tripped over my bag nor have I witnessed anyone tripping over another bag. The biggest hazard in the gym are not bags but people who lift with poor form or over reach themselves ego lifting risking injury. This happens at JD all the time. The use of chalk is an essential component for Olympic and powerlifting. Whilst JD have allowed the use of liquid chalk, some lifters just don’t get on with it. So it’s no wonder with these new rules there has been an recent exodus of more serious lifters. The end result will be a ‘vanilla’ gym for the chest and arms crew and the instatweenie brigade. I’m hoping common sense prevails as JD has a decent amount of equipment. Just a shame how the gym is managed.

Original: The gym's staff exhibit a rather impressive mastery of the art of self-importance, unfortunately overshadowing their prowess in issue resolution. Parking quandaries persist despite conspicuous "no parking" signage, and the staff's commitment to verbal remedy remains consistently unmatched by tangible action. Noteworthy is the debut of a new personal trainer, whose interpretation of weightlifting decorum seemingly diverges from the adjacent sign's plea against dropping weights. An astonishing spectacle, indeed. Update/translation: 1. Your staff have done nothing to rectify customers parking on the access road where clear no parking signs exist. 2. Your new personal trainer Oliver Pope slams his weights down everywhere when there’s clear signs not to. 3. Good luck trying to get the “Manager” Bens attention unless you’re a young girl with a big bunda, that’s what he seemingly spends all his time doing.
