I'd flag this directly before anything else: this listing's own status fields disagree with each other. One field marks the business as temporarily closed, while a separate, deprecated field marks it as permanently closed. Those two claims contradict each other, and I won't declare this gym closed, temporarily or permanently, based on conflicting, low-confidence fields. If you're planning a visit, I'd call ahead or check the website directly before going, rather than trusting either flag alone.
JD Gyms Thornton Cleveleys shows 4.9/5 from 264 reviews, and its five written reviews, all from 2019 and 2020, describe a large, well-equipped gym with a specific, low membership price repeated by multiple reviewers.
A Detailed Account of Amenities and a Specific Membership Price
Paul Hardon's review is the most detailed here: "Loads of free parking, gym is huge full of great kit for whatever your into. Saunas in male and female changing rooms, some fantastic classes all included in the amazingly cheap membership of 19.99 pounds per month. The staff are all really friendly and helpful, the perfect gym." I'd flag that exact 19.99-pound figure directly, since it's a specific, verifiable price rather than a general affordability claim.
An Additional Account Confirming the Same Price Point
Thomas Bancroft's review independently confirms a very similar figure: "It's 20 pounds a month to use all the gym and go to as many classes as you want, and there are a lot. It's big and spacious, clean and modern. And the showers are always hot." I'd note that two reviewers independently landing on nearly the same price, 19.99 versus 20 pounds, as a meaningful confirmation rather than a coincidence.
A Detailed Account of Support for a First-Time Gym User
Slick Cuffy's review describes a specific onboarding experience: "Extremely welcoming staff. I felt a great atmosphere when I first came to the place. Management and Trainers offered me support and guidance with the equipment which is great because I was new to using the weights and treadmills. Excellently clean and maintained." I'd treat that first-time-user guidance detail directly, since it's a specific account of staff actively helping a beginner rather than a general friendliness claim.
Two Additional Brief Accounts
Keiron Beswick's review reads "Great gym, loads of kit. Always busy but rarely have to wait for a work station," while Carl Bennett's is more measured: "Yeah. It's okay. Cheap and cheerful, I have no complaints."
What's Missing
No review confirms current operating status, given the conflicting closure flags noted above. Nothing here confirms current membership pricing, since the most recent written review is from 2020 and prices may well have changed since.
Who It's Not For
Anyone planning a visit without confirming the gym is currently open first, given the specific, unresolved conflict between this listing's status fields. Anyone who needs current pricing confirmed, since every price figure on record here is from 2019 and 2020.

FAQ
Is this gym currently open?
I can't confirm this from the listing data alone. Its own status fields conflict, one marks it temporarily closed and a separate, deprecated field marks it permanently closed, so I'd verify directly with the gym before visiting.
What did membership cost, according to reviewers?
Two independent reviewers cite very similar figures, 19.99 and 20 pounds per month, for full gym and class access, as of 2019 and 2020.
Are saunas available?
Yes, according to at least one reviewer specifically, who describes separate saunas in the male and female changing rooms.
Is it beginner-friendly?
Yes, according to at least one reviewer specifically, who describes staff actively guiding a first-time user through the weights and treadmills.
