I had a very interesting tour of the David Lloyd Club in Peterborough today. Liam showed me around, patiently answering my thousands of questions and showing me all the facilities, including the gym, swimming pool, exercise rooms, and cafe. He thoroughly explained the rules of the club and the available membership options. He took the time and effort to understand my needs. This allowed me to clear up any doubts I had, and I was able to join the club immediately. Today was a good day! Thank you Liam😁

I’ve recently joined David Lloyd Peterborough and have genuinely been really enjoying the club so far. The facilities are excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s become somewhere I actually look forward to going to — whether for the gym, classes, or just to relax and unwind.
A special thank you to Estelle, who showed me around during my club tour. She was absolutely excellent from start to finish — friendly, knowledgeable, approachable, and never pushy. She took the time to answer all my questions properly and really helped me make my decision to join.
In fact, she was so good I nearly signed up twice. (Sorry for the trouble I caused! 😅)
You can tell she genuinely cares about making people feel comfortable and finding what works best for them, which made the whole experience feel very easy and natural.
Really happy I decided to join and looking forward to spending more time at the club.

With a medical background, I have a high standard for physical training, and after just a few sessions with Antony Berch, I am thoroughly impressed. The advice and techniques shared are top-tier, making these sessions feel like a specialized masterclass. We have focused particularly on squat mechanics, which I find invaluable. Antony provides the perfect "push" while ensuring the technique is precise, and I consistently leave the club having learned something new.
Beyond the personal training, the overall environment at this club is excellent. The reception team is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit a pleasure from the moment you walk in.
The DL Kids program is also absolutely amazing. It is the Coaches who truly make the difference—they are engaging, professional, and my child absolutely loves them.
The club management seems far more focused on rigid policy enforcement and exercising authority than on member experience, hospitality, loyalty, and creating a genuinely welcoming environment for its valued members and guests. Rules should exist to support safety, fairness, and enjoyment — not to be used as inflexible power tools where discretion, understanding, and basic customer care would clearly be more appropriate. It raises serious questions about whether the club’s leadership still understands the purpose and values the club is meant to represent, because right now the member experience feels secondary to enforcement.
I took my 2 year old son to the Peterborough club for swimming earlier, and I was told the pool was full and I had to wait which was fair enough, so I took my child out and wait around the pool for someone to come out. Whilst waiting around I saw it was “full” because there were 4-5 adults sitting side of the pool chatting, supervising 1-2 kids. My toddler was getting impatient and wanted to go in. Then I saw a mum and her toddler walked out the pool and they were already ran off to as far as the sun lounge, so I told the lifeguard I will go in now because someone just came out, to be told that I can’t because they might be going in again. How is that fair?
1. The club allowed adult to sit in the very limited children pool during family time and expect young child to wait around.
2. If you are so strict about the first come first serve rules, then whoever came out of the pool should get back into the back of the queue.
I think the rules need to be revised during family sessions. I am happy to wait if the kids pool is genuinely full because of children, but it was now. Given you have such limited space, young children should be prioritize in the kids pool, and if someone came out of the pool, then they should be back of the queue, that is only fair.
