  Had my first experience at David Lloyds today and was shown around by the lovely Ellie. All inclusive vibes, very welcoming and so so informative and helpful. Thank you Ellie and looking forward to spending more time at the gym.

  I’ve been really impressed with the new studios at David Lloyd. The new Rhythm studio is fantastic. The lights, screens and sound make such a difference and create such a brilliant atmosphere. Bex’s Rhythm classes are a particular highlight. She executes the classes so well, with great energy and encouragement, and somehow makes what can be a seriously tough workout feel fun. You can tell how much thought goes into the music, choreography and overall experience. The new Mind and Body studio is beautiful too. It feels calm, spacious and really relaxing, which makes such a difference to the whole experience. I’ve really enjoyed using both new spaces and think they’re a fantastic addition to the club.

  The staff are incredibly helpful, but they're operating with a standard script to every client who complains. It won't be for much longer, and you'll have a wonderful space and spa to be in. The chaos of ongoing building works and overfilled car parks still willing to charge premiums.. The spa Jacuzzi has been unavailable until Feb2027 , and the swimming pool has only been open for the past three or four weeks. If you're thinking of joining, I recommend exploring other clubs that offer better facilities.You can't fault the staff—they're doing their best. The real issue lies with senior management; the corporate leaders seem clueless about how to run a proper facility. Improvements are sluggish, taking nine to twelve months at a time, with no discounted rates for members. Even if you suspend your membership, they still charge a fee for the suspension. Absolutely appalling.

  Brilliant, Veronica has been so kind, giving clear instructions and advice. We are a couple returning to the gym after a long break. Veronica has made our journey back to exercise both fun and enjoyable. Thank you.

  I have been a David Lloyd member for just under a year and, overall, have been very happy with the club. The facilities are excellent, the staff are friendly and welcoming, and the group-class instructors I have met have all been professional and helpful. For around three months, the pool and sauna were closed for renovation while members continued paying the full membership fee. I found this disappointing given how significant these facilities are to the membership, although the renovated facilities are now excellent. Unfortunately, my experience with the membership team has been very different and is the reason I would not return in the future. Around seven months ago, I lost my job. The T&Cs stated that loss of employment could be grounds for early termination, subject to suitable evidence. I continued paying from my savings while looking for work, but later faced significant financial difficulties due to health and personal circumstances. When I asked to end my contract just one month early, I was told that supporting evidence had to be dated within the previous three months. I fully understand that evidence needs to be relevant and sufficiently current. My concern is that this three-month requirement was not stated in the T&Cs. More importantly, I specifically asked what alternative current evidence I could provide to demonstrate my continuing unemployment and financial difficulties, and made clear that I was willing to cooperate with any reasonable verification required. No alternative was suggested; I was simply told that the documentation had to meet the three-month requirement. This left it unclear how someone who lost their job more than three months ago and remains unemployed is expected to demonstrate their continuing circumstances. It also felt as though I was disadvantaged for continuing to honour my payments from savings rather than requesting cancellation immediately. I fully understand that David Lloyd needs clear policies and appropriate verification procedures. However, for a premium club, I would expect those requirements to be transparent and genuine financial hardship to be met with some willingness to consider reasonable evidence and find a workable solution. While I remain very positive about the club, its facilities and its staff, the way my membership situation was handled has significantly changed my overall impression and would prevent me from becoming a member again.
