David Lloyd Tier List 2026: Full UK Club Tiers and Access Rules

Last updated: June 2026

The David Lloyd Tier List determines which other David Lloyd clubs an eligible member can visit.

David Lloyd currently organises the clubs shown in its officially linked tier document into eight access levels:

Super Tier
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3
Tier 4
Tier 5
Tier 6
Tier 7

Super Tier is the highest level shown in the official table, while Tier 7 is the lowest listed level.

An eligible multi-club member can generally visit:

Their home club
Other clubs in the same tier
Clubs in the tiers below their home club

For example, a member whose home club is in Tier 3 may generally use eligible clubs in Tiers 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. They would not normally receive access to Super Tier, Tier 1 or Tier 2 clubs.

However, club tiers can change. Visiting rights may also be removed or restricted. Members should check the David Lloyd app before travelling to another club.

Important update notice: David Lloyd’s current Help Centre links to an official tier document labelled December 2024. The document says that clubs can move between tiers and members should use the app for the latest information. Treat the list below as the officially linked reference list, not a permanent guarantee of access.

David Lloyd Tier List at a Glance

Home-club tier	Clubs you can generally access
Super Tier	Super Tier and Tiers 1–7
Tier 1	Tier 1 and Tiers 2–7
Tier 2	Tier 2 and Tiers 3–7

Tier 4	Tier 4 and Tiers 5–7
Tier 5	Tier 5 and Tiers 6–7
Tier 6	Tier 6 and Tier 7
Tier 7	Tier 7 clubs only

Access remains subject to your membership package, local club restrictions and available facilities.

Quick Answer: How Do David Lloyd Tiers Work?

David Lloyd states that an eligible membership package gives access to clubs in the same tier as the home club and the tiers below it.

This means that a higher home-club tier normally provides access to a larger number of clubs.

Simple Example

Suppose your home club is David Lloyd Cardiff, which appears in Tier 4 in the officially linked list.

You may generally be able to visit:

Other Tier 4 clubs
Tier 5 clubs
Tier 6 clubs
Tier 7 clubs

You would not normally be able to visit:

Super Tier clubs
Tier 1 clubs
Tier 2 clubs
Tier 3 clubs

Always check the app because individual access can change.

David Lloyd Club Tiers vs Membership Packages

Club tiers and membership packages are not the same thing.

This is one of the most important points to understand.

Membership Package

Your membership package controls the facilities and benefits included in your membership.

David Lloyd’s main packages include:

Club
Plus
Platinum

Package benefits can include gym use, pools, classes, racquets, Blaze, Spa Retreat access, towels, guest passes and multi-club access.

Club Tier

Your club tier controls which other David Lloyd locations you may visit when your package includes multi-club access.

Feature	Membership package	Club tier
Gym and pool access	Yes	No
Fitness classes	Yes	No
Racquet access	Yes	No
Spa Retreat eligibility	Yes	No
Multi-club benefit	Determined by package	Access range determined by tier
Visiting higher-tier clubs	No standard right	Restricted by tier
Monthly membership price	Depends on package and club	Can be influenced by home club
Home-club location	Not a package	Determines starting tier

A high club tier does not automatically mean that every member at that club has multi-club access.

Your membership package must first include the right to visit other clubs.

Which Membership Includes Multi-Club Access?

David Lloyd’s standard package comparison currently lists access to multiple clubs as a Platinum membership benefit.

Club and Plus do not show multi-club access as a standard included benefit.

Therefore, the tier list is mainly relevant to:

Platinum members
Members with another eligible multi-club agreement
Certain corporate memberships
Members whose individual contract includes visiting rights

Do not assume that paying membership fees at a high-tier club automatically allows you to visit the full lower-tier network.

Check your package in the app or membership agreement.

Can Platinum Members Use Every David Lloyd Club?

No.

Platinum includes access to selected other clubs, but it does not automatically give unrestricted entry to every David Lloyd location.

The general rule is:

Same tier or lower tiers

For example:

Platinum home club	General visiting range
Super Tier	Super Tier through Tier 7
Tier 1	Tier 1 through Tier 7
Tier 3	Tier 3 through Tier 7
Tier 5	Tiers 5, 6 and 7
Tier 7	Tier 7 only

Other restrictions can still apply.

Can You Visit a Higher-Tier Club?

A standard multi-club membership does not normally provide access to clubs above the home club’s tier.

For example, a Tier 4 member would not normally have access to:

Super Tier
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3

A club may occasionally provide temporary, paid or specially authorised access, but this should not be assumed.

Contact the club before travelling when:

You want to visit a higher-tier location
Your app does not clearly show access
You are travelling for work
You are attending a special event
Your home club is temporarily closed
You recently changed membership packages

The 50% Home-Club Rule

David Lloyd’s membership terms include an important home-club usage rule.

When your membership allows access to multiple clubs, at least 50% of your visits over the relevant monitoring period must be to your registered home club.

If you regularly use another club more than your home club, David Lloyd may transfer your membership to the club you use most often.

This could result in a higher monthly membership fee when the frequently visited club has a higher price.

Example

Suppose your registered home club is Tier 4, but most of your visits are to a Tier 2 club.

There are two possible problems:

Tier 2 may be above your normal permitted access level.
David Lloyd may decide that the other location is effectively your home club.

Your membership may need to be transferred, and the new club’s membership price may apply.

Can You Choose a Cheaper Home Club?

Selecting a lower-priced home club solely to use a different, more expensive club is risky.

Your home club is expected to be the club you use most frequently.

David Lloyd can monitor visits and may transfer a member to the location used most often. A transfer to a more expensive club may increase the membership fee.

Choose your home club based on where you genuinely plan to exercise regularly.

Do Higher Tiers Always Cost More?

David Lloyd does not publish a fixed price for each club tier.

There is no official national table such as:

Tier 1 costs £___
Tier 2 costs £___
Tier 3 costs £___

Membership cost depends on:

Home club
Membership package
Individual, couple or family selection
Standard or Flexible contract
Local facilities
Current promotions
Corporate eligibility
Joining and administration fees

A higher-tier club may have a higher membership price, but tier alone does not provide an exact quotation.

Only the written quote supplied by the selected club should be treated as the official price.

Are Club Tiers Based on Quality?

David Lloyd’s official material does not describe the tier table as a quality, star or customer-review ranking.

The clear purpose of the tier system is to manage multi-club visiting access.

A lower-tier club is not automatically a bad club. It may still offer:

Modern gym equipment
Indoor or outdoor pools
Tennis courts
Fitness classes
Clubroom
Family facilities
Sauna and steam room
Personal training
Children’s activities

Facilities vary by location and should be checked separately from the club’s tier.

Can Club Tiers Change?

Yes.

The official club-tier document states that:

Clubs may move between tiers.
Visiting access may be removed without notice.
Members should check the app for current information.

A club may therefore be shown in a different tier later in 2026.

Do not permanently rely on:

An old screenshot
A saved PDF
A social-media post
An unofficial price website
A previous year’s tier list
Another member’s account access

Check the app immediately before planning an important visit.

How to Check Your Current David Lloyd Tier

Method 1: Check the David Lloyd App

The app is the best place to check current visiting access.

Look for:

Membership details
Clubs available to visit
Multi-club access
Club information
Booking availability
Access warnings

Method 2: Ask Your Home Club

Contact reception or the membership team and ask:

“What tier is my home club, and which other clubs can I currently access with my membership package?”

Method 3: Check Before Booking

When the app allows you to book a class or court at another club, this may indicate access, but it should not be treated as a guarantee if an entry restriction is shown.

Method 4: Review Your Agreement

Your membership agreement can explain whether multi-club access is included.

The agreement may not show the latest location list because club tiers can change.

What Happens When a Club Changes Tier?

A club-tier change can affect:

Clubs that members can visit
Members who can visit that club
Multi-club booking availability
Membership transfer decisions
Future membership quotations
The value of the Platinum package

The official document says access may change without notice.

Members who depend heavily on another location should check access regularly rather than relying on the tier status that existed when they joined.

Are All Facilities Included at a Visiting Club?

No.

Being allowed to enter another David Lloyd club does not necessarily guarantee access to every facility.

Possible restrictions include:

Spa Retreat access
Spa Garden access
Reformer Pilates
Blaze
Padel courts
Tennis bookings
Children’s activities
Crèche
Premium courses
Guest passes
Towels
Adult-only areas

Access can depend on:

Membership package
Facility availability
Booking rules
Age restrictions
Local charges
Club capacity
Visiting-member rules

Check each facility before travelling.

Can You Book Classes at Another Club?

Eligible members may be able to book classes at clubs included within their access rights.

However:

The club must be within the permitted tier range.
The membership package must include the class.
Booking availability must remain.
Peak and off-peak conditions may apply.
Selected premium classes can have separate requirements.

Being able to see a class in the app does not always mean it is included without charge.

What Happens If Your App Denies Access?

When the app does not allow a booking or club visit:

Confirm your home-club tier.
Check the visiting club’s current tier.
Confirm that your package includes multi-club access.
Check whether the facility has separate restrictions.
Update the David Lloyd app.
Sign out and sign back in.
Contact your home club.
Contact the visiting club before travelling.

Do not purchase travel or make important plans until access is confirmed.

Why is a club missing from the tier list?

It may be newly opened, renamed, moved, excluded from the older linked document or subject to separate access rules. Check the app instead of guessing.

Final Verdict

The David Lloyd Tier List is used to control which locations eligible multi-club members can visit.

The official structure runs from:

Super Tier → Tier 1 → Tier 2 → Tier 3 → Tier 4 → Tier 5 → Tier 6 → Tier 7

Members can generally access clubs in the same tier and the tiers below their home club.

However, three important rules apply:

Your package must include multi-club access.
Your home club must remain the club you use most frequently.
Club tiers and visiting access can change.

The official linked document is a useful reference, but David Lloyd advises members to use the app for the most current access information.
