To wonder how much David Lloyd gym memberships cost?

[AnaG1ypta]

Our (fairly expensive already!) Virgin gym is being taken over by David Lloyd.

Some of the prices I've seen online for their gyms are horrendous!

Can anyone tell me what they're paying at the moment?

Our gym has tennis courts and a creche. At present we get three hours a day free creche use. Any idea if these are extra with DL?

Mine is the Trafford one if that's any help.

Christ.

I get membership of the 7gyms locally including all classes, swimming pool sauna steam room jacuzzi peak times for £27pm... I am on a corporate membership but even full price I think is £32!

Ours converted earlier in the year . £68 for DH and DD.

Looks like I’m glad to live up north. Recently joined Virgin gym and it about £40 per month for me and it’s £20 pm for 15yo Dd. For that I could also have a young child in crèche for up to 2 hours for free apparently.

280 per family of 4, GLASGOW. Overheard GLASGOW was their most profitable gym in uk

No idea why Glasgow in caps there. 😄.

What’s the price for 15yr olds?

Mine is a small club with no creche and no tennis courts and no outdoor spaces.

Its £55 to reflect that.

GLASGOW needs to be in caps

Mine is £120ish for me and a 4 year old. I keep the membership because it is so local and she adores it. It periodically annoys me beyond measure though as they spend far more on continuously rebranding than on serious maintenance. Ours for example has shiny new branded noticeboards and logos this year, but the swimming pool is mouldy as are the ladies showers and they stink of mould. Nothing is ever done about this though. It enrages me that you have to tell them that things are filthy as I feel I pay enough for someone to be employed to walk around the club looking at it with a customer's view. (Hampton btw on the off chance that anyone's considering that one)

£52 for peak rate adult (without racquets) at mine then £25 per child. I pay less with a corporate deal though.

We're in Surrey and I left again a few months ago(I rejoined for a couple of years beforehand). For us the children are prohibitively expensive for what they'd use and it ended up being that we'd taken them once in a blue moon (when we had some passes) or my OH would take them to the local sports centre. We've now changed to a gym which is more expensive per head for me and OH but much nicer (our local one had a fairly small and shallow pool and the gym was a bit sweaty). The children can't be members but when they come it's really cheap to bring them and there's a summer scheme I'll investigate next year.
The DL is probably our nearest club but it always felt expensive for an what I felt was a fairly average gym.

£212 per month for us currently- 2 adults, 1 x 13 year old and 1x 5 year old. This includes weekly swimming lessons for DS2, can’t remember how much they are.

We pay £280 a month for the family of 5 platinum membership, that includes spa for dp and I. Swimming lessons is extra, can't remember exactly how much per month and then dp and I have pt sessions at another £300 a month which is 1 each per week.
All in, we are paying just over £600 a month which sounds bloody ridiculous but we get the value out of it. Both of us use the spa, gym and classes about 4-5 times a week, the older dc probably don't use it enough to warrant it but they're only £20 a month each and they do sometimes come swimming with us or arrange to meet friends down there for a swim/badminton/tennis etc. They come to the gym with me sometimes too, although they do dip in and out of being interested.
It's right at the end of our road which is a blessing, 5 minutes to get there, no excuses.
Infuriating though that to even find out how much it is, you have to have a wanky tour and chat with someone. Bloody pressure selling and I sent dp to deal with all of it as I hate all they bullshit sales crap. Just fucking tell me the prices

We cancelled our family membership a few years ago as we never went and £140 is a lot to pay for something we didn’t use

Went for one of their family days a couple of months ago. Can't remember what the joining fee was - I think it was £180 upfront as a one off, then £240 per month (family of 5).

That's Trafford, Manchester.

We didn't join

And the crèche at the one I use was atrocious, I collected ds once and they asked his name as he left - they hadn't known who he was the whole time he was there and hadn't got his details from the central file they kept for all registered children, which is supposed to be the sort of 'official register' at any one time in case of fire alarms/evacuation etc. Massive safeguarding fuck up, I complained and never sent him again.
Plus it always seemed absolutely full of crying babies and the staff were basically always sat on the floor holding them and not interacting at all with the bigger ones. And they only offered crèche between 9:30-11:30 in the mornings when classes were going on. Sometimes I'd want to pop to the gym in the afternoon and there weren't any classes or clubs etc for him to use. Was glad when he got older and he could join in with some of the classes which he loved and were included in the membership.

They are often very expensive but IMO it’s because they often have better facilities. One local gym to us was originally DL ( I think it might have been his first ever club) and has two pools (indoor and out) as well as tennis courts, squash courts, two massive gym areas, a great bar/restaurant and a purpose built crèche and a lot more beside . It is streets ahead of any other local facility. Over the last 20 years or so it has changed hands several times but the fees have always stayed much the same level and are currently in the £80 a month area. It’s last owners were Virgin and it cost about £35 a month more than another Virgin gym two miles away which had only has a standard gym + workout studio set up m

It recently came full circle and went from Virgin back to DL and I am going for a snoop soon to see if they have any good offers on membership.

Lol at the 4x4 comment. When I was a member of our originally DL gym I used to get into an irrational fury at the number of 4x4/personalised number plates in the car park.

£200 per month, 2 adults and a child in the Midlands. Facilities are rubbish things are always out of order and the changing rooms are mouldy. I've just cancelled my membership. They can't market themselves in the way they do, charge so much money and not provide top notch facilities.
