Membership Terms
Standard and flexible contracts
Read the membership agreement supplied with your personal quote. Your exact cancellation and price-review terms are controlled by that contract.
Standard membership
Initial term: 12 calendar months.
This is generally the longer-commitment option. It may offer a lower monthly rate than the flexible package, but you should verify the minimum term, notice period and annual price-review clause.
Flexible membership
Initial term: 3 calendar months at participating clubs.
It can suit members who want a shorter initial commitment, but the monthly cost may be higher. The three-month option is unavailable at some clubs.
Extra Costs
Fees not always included
The advertised monthly payment may not cover every service you plan to use.
| Possible extra | How it is normally handled | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Joining/admin fee | One-off payment; promotions may reduce it | Is it refundable or negotiable? |
| Personal training | Paid directly or booked separately | What are single-session and package rates? |
| Swimming lessons | Separate course fee | Is there a waiting list? |
| Tennis/padel coaching | Separate coaching charge | Are courts included but coaching extra? |
| Crèche | Paid booked sessions | What ages, hours and cancellation rules apply? |
| Holiday Club | Separate child programme fee | Are meals or activities included? |
| Specialist classes | Some sessions can cost extra | Does your exact package include Reformer or premium sessions? |
| Guest visits | Monthly pass on eligible Platinum plans or paid pass | Does your club exclude the Platinum guest benefit? |
| Food and drink | Purchased separately | Does a member discount apply? |
Visits & Savings
Guest passes and discounts
Availability is local, and no particular discount should be assumed until it appears on your written quotation.

- Platinum can include one monthly guest pass at participating clubs.
- Some clubs are specifically excluded from this benefit.
- Additional guest passes may be available for a local fee.
- Guests normally follow the host member’s access restrictions.
- Local age, supervision, booking and frequency rules apply.
Possible ways to save

- Ask about joining-fee promotions.

Leaving or Pausing
Cancellation and membership freeze
Never cancel only by stopping your Direct Debit. Follow the written cancellation method in your own membership agreement and retain proof.
Read your contract
Confirm the initial term, current notice period and any special early-exit conditions.
Send valid notice
Use an accepted written channel and include the information requested in your agreement.
Keep confirmation
Save the acknowledgement, final payment date and confirmed membership end date.
Check final payment
Continue required payments until the confirmed ending date and dispute errors promptly.
Early cancellation
Some contracts may allow early ending for qualifying medical, employment, relocation or significant personal circumstances. Evidence and notice may be required. Approval is not automatic.
Freezing membership
A temporary suspension may be available, often with a reduced monthly charge. Medical suspensions may be treated differently. A freeze can extend the initial commitment period and prevents club use while active.

Common Questions
David Lloyd membership FAQs
Quick answers to the questions UK members most often ask before joining.
How much is David Lloyd membership per month?
There is no single UK-wide monthly price. Costs depend on the club, package, contract length, access hours and whether you join individually, as a couple or as a family. Broad individual budgeting estimates commonly fall between about £75 and £230+ per month.
What is the cheapest David Lloyd membership?
The Club package is generally the lowest-cost option. It normally provides off-peak access, currently described as 11am–4pm on weekdays and after 2pm at weekends, but availability can vary.
How much is Platinum membership?
A broad independent planning range is approximately £130–£230+ monthly for one adult. Premium clubs may charge more, so request a current local quotation.
What is included in Platinum?
Standard benefits can include unrestricted gym and pool access, fitness classes, racquets, Blaze, selected other clubs, luxury Spa Retreats, a fresh towel, discounts and a monthly guest pass at participating clubs.
What is included in Plus?
Plus generally provides unrestricted access to the gym, swimming pool and most standard fitness classes. It usually excludes racquets, Blaze, luxury Spa Retreats, multi-club access and the monthly guest pass.
What are Club membership access hours?
The standard package description lists off-peak access as 11am–4pm on weekdays and after 2pm at weekends. Confirm local opening times and package restrictions before joining.
Does David Lloyd offer family membership?
Yes. Adults can join individually or as a couple and add eligible children. Family facilities may include kids’ classes, teen activities, crèche, family swimming and soft play.
Is the crèche included free?
Crèche sessions normally involve an additional booking charge. Ages, opening hours, duration, prices and cancellation rules vary by club.
Are children’s activities included?
Many standard DL Kids activities are included with an eligible child membership, while crèche, parties, Holiday Club and specialist coaching generally cost extra.
Can I use more than one club?
Eligible Platinum access can include clubs in the same tier or lower tiers. Your home club should remain the location you use most often, and exclusions can apply.
Does Platinum include a guest pass?
Platinum includes a monthly guest pass at many participating clubs, but a number of clubs are excluded. Additional passes may be sold at club-specific prices.
Are fitness classes included?
Most standard fitness classes are included in eligible memberships. Blaze requires Platinum, and some specialist classes or coaching may cost extra.
Is there a joining fee?
A joining or administration fee may apply. The amount changes by club and promotion, so ask for the complete first payment and ongoing monthly cost in writing.
Does David Lloyd offer a three-month membership?
Yes, a flexible initial three-calendar-month option is offered at many clubs. It is unavailable at selected locations and may have a higher monthly rate.
Can I cancel during the initial term?
Ordinary cancellation is normally restricted during the initial commitment. Early ending may be considered for qualifying circumstances, but evidence and notice can be required.
Can I cancel by stopping my Direct Debit?
No. Stopping a Direct Debit does not necessarily cancel the contract and can create arrears. Submit valid notice using the method in your agreement.
Can I freeze my membership?
A temporary suspension may be available subject to the contract. A reduced charge can apply, medical rules may differ and the freeze may extend your initial commitment.
Does David Lloyd offer corporate membership?
Yes. David Lloyd works with registered corporate partners. Eligibility and the saving depend on your employer’s arrangement.
Is personal training included?
Personal training is generally a separate paid service. Ask the club for trainer availability and single-session or package prices.
Is David Lloyd worth the cost?
It can offer good value when you frequently use several facilities, such as the gym, swimming pool, classes, spa, courts, kids’ activities and workspace. It may be poor value for occasional gym-only visits.
Compare the full cost before joining.
Start with the price table, then check your likely cost per visit.
