JD Gyms Castleford

The gym has good facilities but it is the same price the rest of JD gyms and isn’t open 24 hours. That is the only downfall. Staff are good and they have gym and sauna.

Far too overcrowded, the lack of equipment has been a blocker in my progress as I find myself having to change my routines around what doesn’t have groups of teenagers stood around for 20 minutes at a time. You have to scan in and out using the app but unlike other gyms you can’t see how busy the gym is on the app so you can’t time your workouts for quieter times. There also seems to be no limit to the amount of people that can scan in at once, have left without being able to work out multiple times this month due to overcrowding. Seemingly no rules on dropping weights or putting them back. You’ll be constantly hearing people throw down barbells and shaking the floor and you’ll find weights just left on machines and not re racked. With it not being open 24 hours your left fighting the crowds on most days really impacting your workouts. The one positive I’ll give it is the car park at xscape is big so you can always park.

Decent budget gym got everything you need for a decent session. I would suggest opening at 5am or even make it a 24hour gym. The lighting in the Xscape JD is a bit over the top.

Good gym but a bit too small for the amount of members. Not enough equipment and you find yourself constantly waiting to use something. Treadmills could do with upgrading as they are constantly broken.

Really spacious gym, lot of equipment and space to train Staff friendly and helpful at any time.aybe will be worthy to do a bit challenging classes like spin. Went a few times and wasn't much exiting. Can be as HIIT fastb20s/10s rest for example.
