I was interested in signing up for an initial 3 month contract at my local DL gym but apparently finding out the monthly cost without having to have a face to face chat sales bollocks with someone at the gym.

There's no point them trying to do the hard sell- I know I want to sign up IF the cost is less than £300 for the three months. I don't understand why they don't just say "yes, come down and we'll sign you up" or "it'll be more than that"?!

£300 faints for 3 months

Is that a typo?

Deshasafraisy · 11/02/2018 17:45

£100 a month? Are you moving in?!

SleightOfMind · 11/02/2018 17:46

Ours is £300 pm for a family of 6.
2 of them are infants (so very cheap), 1 is child membership and the other 3 of us are full price.

I should imagine it’s less than £300 pp, pm.

Pomeranio9834 · 11/02/2018 17:46

Not particularly helpful but I pay £40 for Bannatynes and I think that is ludicrous particularly as I never go so surely not much more than that?!

HunterHearstHelmsley · 11/02/2018 17:47

It depends which David Lloyd. They have vastly different prices for different clubs

Fairylea · 11/02/2018 17:47

For comparison my non DL gym round the corner from me is £27 a month for off peak membership- gym anytime 7-5, and 3 fitness classes a week. A lot of the brand name gyms can be a huge rip off so be careful.

emma6776 · 11/02/2018 17:49

I pay £49 p/m for th council gym and that’s with a big corporate discount. Wish Bannatynes here was £40 (Edinburgh)

QuiteCleanBandit · 11/02/2018 17:50

£300pm Shock bloody hell !

Lentilbaby · 11/02/2018 17:51

We pay £53 per month each for couple membership with corporate discount.

NerrSnerr · 11/02/2018 17:51

We pay about £120 a month for a family of 4 (including one baby).

I do get an NHS discount as well.

SleightOfMind · 11/02/2018 17:54

We’re in London

grammargirl · 11/02/2018 17:56

I pay £114 per month for a Virgin Active but it is one of their 'exclusive' clubs. Machines aren't any better, mind!

NormHonal · 11/02/2018 17:56

Ours was £240 a month for 2 adults, 2 DCs. South East.

We left last year when they tried to raise it, as we didn't use it that much.

Dipitydoda · 11/02/2018 17:56

The one near us in W Mids was £120 per month and more of a business networking facility that a gym IMO. Was a member years ago was a bit poncy for me.

Whisperquietly · 11/02/2018 17:57

Approx £70 per month for individual membership

Dipitydoda · 11/02/2018 17:58

@grammargirl, what’s an exclusive virgin active gym, out virgin membership is less than that for our family?

carbuncleonapigsposterior · 11/02/2018 17:58

£95 per month, off peak 11am to 4pm Mon - Friday, after 2pm weekends. Hampton, West London.

Str4ngedaysindeed · 11/02/2018 18:00

Dh pays £70 a month for off peak but literally uses it daily. We were all members once but the prices are insane and totally not justified anymore. Things like no hot water for two days and no notices to tell any one and running out of stuff at the bar regularly They don't give a toss anymore.

Fleurchamp · 11/02/2018 18:03

SE London £165 - 2 adults, 2 under 3s
Not racquets or platinum/ premier (the one that includes towels).
No limitations on time, so peak?

Pomeranio9834 · 11/02/2018 18:03

I am actually in shock at how much gym memberships are for everyone!!!!!

PenguinsandPandas · 11/02/2018 18:04

Depends on which DL it is, around £100 a month for 1 adult here. Kids are much cheaper around £35 a month. 2nd adult a bit cheaper. Corporate discounts and free months offers. When we did the 3 months we got 2 free months but cost is higher on 3 months than annual. We are close to London.

If you have private health insurance you can get half price membership to some clubs with Vitality, mainly Virgin though not for the kids.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 11/02/2018 18:06

£51 a month full price (I have corporate discount so pay less). £20 per child. West Midlands

Mamia15 · 11/02/2018 18:06

xercise4less is only £15 per month and includes classes as well. It doesn't have a pool or sauna though - but then I don't know many people who actually make good use of these facilities when going to their gym.
