David Lloyd or Nuffield Gym Newcastle?

[chelseabell]

I'm looking to join a new gym in Newcastle and am considering Nuffield or DL. Has anyone been a member of either? Looking for a gym that has decent classes, good gym facilities, a cafe and preferably a spa although I probably won't use it all that often.

Negative reviews about DL say they make it difficult to cancel memberships and classes book up very quickly so it's difficult to get a spot. Nuffield apparently has dated gym equipment and not enough parking.

Can anyone comment on their experience of either gym?
TIA 😊

MANY years ago (maybe 10?) I was at David Lloyd in gosforth. It felt very much a place where people looked you up and down to see who you were rather than being there to work out. The tennis facilities were good, and I used the crèche back then which made it a godsend, but I always felt like it wasn’t the most welcoming and everyone knew each other. My friend is currently at the Nuffield gym and seems to love it, but I’ve no personal experience of that one I’m afraid.
