JD Gyms Stockton South

In recent months, what was once an excellent gym has deteriorated into nothing more than a playground for unsupervised children. The facility is now overrun by groups of school-age individuals who appear to attend solely to socialise, run around, and film each other rather than train. They congregate around machines in groups of six or more, occupying equipment for excessive periods while contributing nothing to the gym environment. Their behaviour is consistently disruptive and wholly unacceptable. They play games on the gym floor, set up tripods throughout the facility—including the changing rooms—and even express irritation when members accidentally walk into their recordings. They vape openly, bring phones into the sauna to play music and watch TikTok, and leave rubbish scattered around without any consideration for others. Many of them clearly have no understanding of how to use the equipment safely, placing themselves at significant risk of injury. This conduct has driven numerous long-standing members to leave, and it is deeply concerning that such issues have been allowed to escalate to this level. JD Gym: this must be addressed immediately. Are you content with the increasingly appalling reputation your establishment is developing, or are you simply willing to accept payment while the facility devolves into a children’s playground?
