A David Lloyd Guest Pass allows an eligible member to bring a friend or family member into their home club. Depending on the club, the guest may be able to use the gym, swimming pool, fitness classes and other facilities available under the host member’s package.
Platinum membership includes one monthly guest pass at many David Lloyd clubs. Members who do not have an included pass can usually purchase an additional guest pass, but the price varies by location.
David Lloyd does not publish one fixed guest-pass fee for every UK club. A guest visit is commonly estimated to cost around £15 to £35, but premium clubs may charge more. Always check the current fee with the selected club before arranging the visit.
Important: Guest prices, permitted times and facility access vary by club. The host member should confirm the exact rules through the David Lloyd app, reception or club membership team.

Is a David Lloyd Guest Pass Free?
A guest visit may be free when the host has an unused monthly guest pass included with an eligible Platinum membership.
However, not every Platinum member receives a monthly guest pass.
The benefit is currently unavailable at selected clubs, including:
- Acton Park
- Bushey
- Derby
- Enfield
- Finchley
- Hampton
- Hull
- Leeds
- Lincoln
- Newcastle
- Northwood
- Nottingham West Bridgford
- Teesside
This list can change, so members should check their current app benefits or ask reception.
When no free pass is available, the member or guest must pay the applicable club fee.
Who Can Bring a Guest?
An adult David Lloyd member or eligible linked adult member can introduce guests to the club.
The person inviting the guest must:
- Sign the guest in at reception or through the David Lloyd app
- Remain with the guest throughout the visit
- Make sure the guest understands the club rules
- Ensure that the guest follows staff instructions
- Pay any applicable guest fee
- Accept responsibility for the guest’s behaviour
A nanny linked to a membership cannot normally introduce separate guests.
How to Book a David Lloyd Guest Pass
The exact process may vary by club, but members can usually organise a guest visit through the app or club reception.
Method 1: Book Through the David Lloyd App
Members should:
- Open the David Lloyd Clubs app.
- Sign in to their membership account.
- Look for Guest Passes, Benefits or Membership options.
- Select an available included pass or paid guest option.
- Enter the guest’s requested information.
- Select the club and visit date where required.
- Review any restrictions.
- Confirm or pay for the pass.
- Show the valid pass when entering the club.
Not every club uses exactly the same app process. When the guest option is not visible, contact reception.
Method 2: Arrange the Visit at Reception
Official membership terms allow a guest to be signed in at club reception.
The member should contact the club in advance to confirm:
- Current guest fee
- Permitted visit time
- Age restrictions
- Pool access
- Spa access
- Class availability
- Identification requirements
- Payment method
Arranging the visit in advance reduces the risk of the guest being refused entry during a busy period.
Does the Guest Need the David Lloyd App?
The official terms do not say that every guest must download the app.
Guests may be signed in:
- At reception
- Through the member’s David Lloyd app
Some clubs may use a digital invitation or ask the guest to complete information electronically. However, app installation should not be described as a nationwide requirement unless the selected club confirms it.
The guest should bring a mobile phone and valid identification in case the club needs to verify the booking.
What Does a David Lloyd Guest Pass Include?
A valid guest pass may provide access to facilities that the host member is entitled to use.
Possible facilities include:
- Gym
- Indoor swimming pool
- Outdoor swimming pool
- Standard fitness classes
- Clubroom
- Changing rooms
- Sauna
- Steam room
- Whirlpool
- Racquet facilities
- Family areas
Access is not automatically guaranteed to every facility.
The guest’s rights are generally limited by:
- Host’s membership package
- Club-specific guest rules
- Age restrictions
- Booking availability
- Peak-time restrictions
- Spa conditions
- Additional facility charges
Host Membership and Guest Access
A guest cannot normally receive better access than the member inviting them.
| Host package | Likely guest access |
|---|---|
| Club | Off-peak facilities available to Club member |
| Plus | Main home-club facilities |
| Platinum | Platinum facilities, subject to guest restrictions |
| Restricted membership | Same restrictions usually apply to guest |
For example, a guest introduced by an off-peak member should not assume they can enter during unrestricted peak hours.
David Lloyd Guest-Pass Rules
The official guest terms include several important rules.
The Member Must Stay With the Guest
The host member must stay with the guest during the visit.
A guest cannot normally enter using the member’s pass and continue using the club alone after the member leaves.
Maximum of Three Guests at One Time
An eligible adult member can sign in up to three guests during one visit.
A club may still apply lower limits during busy periods or special events.
Same Adult Guest Visit Limit
The official terms state that the same adult guest can be signed in:
- Up to six times in one year
- No more than twice in one month
This rule prevents a person from repeatedly using guest passes instead of taking out a membership.
A Valid Pass or Fee Is Required
A guest must either:
- Present a valid guest pass, or
- Pay the applicable guest fee
A screenshot of an expired or previously used pass may not be accepted.
Club Rules Apply to Guests
Guests must follow the same safety and behaviour rules that apply to members.
The club can refuse access or ask a guest to leave for reasons including:
- Unsafe behaviour
- Abusive conduct
- Misuse of equipment
- Entering restricted areas
- Ignoring staff instructions
- Breaking pool or spa rules
- Using an invalid pass
Breaking guest rules can also affect the member. David Lloyd’s terms allow guest privileges to be withdrawn for up to three months in some circumstances.
Are There Peak-Time Restrictions?
Guest access may be restricted during busy periods.
Some individual clubs may limit guests:
- During weekday evening peak times
- Before a specified time at weekends
- During school holidays
- On bank holidays
- During special events
- When the club reaches capacity
However, there is no single official national rule stating that all guests are banned before 3:00 PM at weekends.
The member should ask the local club:
“Are guest passes accepted at the time and date we plan to visit?”
Bank holidays may be treated as peak time under the membership terms.
Can a Guest Join a Fitness Class?
Yes, a member’s guest may participate in a class when:
- The guest has a valid guest pass
- The class is included within the relevant access rights
- There is a free space at the time of the session
- The guest meets the age and safety requirements
Guests cannot normally be booked into a class in advance.
This means a member should not promise that the guest will be able to attend a popular class. The guest can join only when space remains available at the start of the session.
Popular classes such as yoga, Pilates, cycling and high-intensity sessions may be full.
Can a Guest Use Blaze?
Blaze is generally a Platinum membership benefit.
A guest’s ability to participate may depend on:
- Host holding an eligible Platinum package
- Class space being available
- Guest meeting health and safety requirements
- Club-specific guest restrictions
- Any additional fee
Because guests cannot normally reserve a class in advance, access to Blaze should not be guaranteed.
Can a Guest Use the Swimming Pool?
A guest can usually use the swimming pool when:
- The pass includes sports facilities
- The host’s membership includes pool access
- The guest enters during permitted hours
- The pool is open
- The guest follows swimming rules
Family swimming and adult-only swimming times may apply.
Guests bringing children should check:
- Child-to-adult supervision ratios
- Family swim times
- Age restrictions
- Pool availability
- Required swimming aids
- Whether a separate child guest fee applies
Can a Guest Use the Spa?
Spa access varies considerably between clubs.
David Lloyd distinguishes between standard poolside spa facilities and premium Spa Retreat or Spa Garden facilities.
Poolside Spa Facilities
Depending on the club, these may include:
- Sauna
- Steam room
- Whirlpool
- Spa bath
A sports guest may be allowed to use these facilities when the host has the same access.
Spa Retreat and Spa Garden
Premium spa areas are usually connected to Platinum access and may have stricter guest conditions.
A guest may face:
- Additional spa charge
- Restricted entry times
- Adult-only age restrictions
- Limited guest availability
- Complete exclusion at certain clubs
The member should confirm spa access before purchasing the pass.
Do not assume that a standard guest pass automatically includes the luxury Spa Retreat.
Can a Guest Play Tennis, Padel or Squash?
Racquet-sport access generally depends on the host’s membership and the selected club.
Possible requirements include:
- Host must have Platinum or racquet access
- Court must be booked
- Guest must be named on the booking
- Guest fee or court fee may apply
- Equipment hire may cost extra
- Padel court rules may differ
- High-demand restrictions may apply
Members should contact reception before inviting a guest specifically for tennis or padel.
Social Guest: Clubroom Access Without a Sports Pass
David Lloyd’s terms distinguish between a sports guest and a social guest.
A social guest may visit the café bar or Clubroom without paying a sports guest fee.
However, a social guest:
- Cannot use the gym
- Cannot swim
- Cannot attend fitness classes
- Cannot use sports courts
- Cannot use spa facilities
- May be restricted during peak times
This option may be useful when a friend or family member wants to meet a member for coffee or food without using the fitness facilities.
David Lloyd Adult Guest Pass
An adult guest usually receives access for one club visit or one day, subject to local terms.
The adult should bring:
- Valid guest pass or booking
- Photo identification when requested
- Suitable gym or swim clothing
- Towel when not included
- Payment method for optional purchases
- Padlock where required
The guest should arrive with the host member unless the club has provided different instructions.
David Lloyd Child Guest Pass
Children may be admitted as guests, but age and supervision rules apply.
The club may require:
- Parent or guardian to remain present
- Valid child guest pass
- Child guest fee
- Family swim booking
- Age-appropriate activity
- Parental consent
- Adult-to-child supervision ratio
Children may not have access to:
- Adult-only Spa Retreats
- Certain gym equipment
- Adult-only swim sessions
- Age-restricted classes
- Unsupervised Clubroom areas
Check the child guest rules with the specific club before visiting.
David Lloyd Platinum Guest Pass
Platinum membership includes a monthly guest pass at participating clubs.
The benefit normally means:
- One eligible pass per applicable period
- Pass must be used according to club rules
- Guest must visit with the member
- Pass cannot usually be exchanged for cash
- Unused passes may expire
- Some clubs do not participate
- Restrictions may apply to spa and premium classes
The member should check the app for:
- Pass availability
- Expiry date
- Eligible club
- Guest details
- Redemption instructions
Can You Buy Additional Guest Passes?
Yes. David Lloyd’s official Help Centre states that additional guest passes can be purchased.
The price varies by club.
Additional passes may be useful when:
- The monthly Platinum pass has already been used
- The member wants to bring more than one person
- The membership package does not include a monthly pass
- A family member is visiting temporarily
- The member wants to introduce a prospective member
Check whether the additional pass provides the same access as the included Platinum pass.
Does a David Lloyd Guest Pass Last All Day?
Many guest passes are designed for one visit or one specified day.
However, the exact validity may depend on:
- Club
- Type of pass
- Time selected
- Promotion
- Peak restrictions
- Facility booking
- Pass expiry terms
A one-day pass does not necessarily mean the guest can leave and re-enter repeatedly.
Confirm re-entry rules with reception before leaving the club.
Can the Guest Visit Without the Member?
Normally, no.
The official terms require the member introducing the guest to stay with the guest at all times.
A free trial, promotional day pass or club-arranged tour may operate differently because it is organised directly by the club rather than through an existing member.
David Lloyd Trial Pass
A guest pass and a trial offer are not necessarily the same thing.
Guest Pass
- Arranged by an existing member
- Member must normally stay with the guest
- May be included with Platinum
- May require payment
- Subject to guest limits
Trial or Promotional Visit
- Arranged directly with the club
- Intended for a prospective member
- Availability varies
- May include a tour
- May require advance registration
- May be free or paid
- May have limited facility access
David Lloyd does not guarantee one permanent nationwide free trial pass.
People interested in joining should use the official membership enquiry or book a club tour rather than relying on an unofficial voucher website.
Guest Pass vs Three-Month Membership
A three-month Flexible membership may be more suitable than repeatedly buying guest passes.
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| Single guest pass | Trying the club once |
| Monthly Platinum guest pass | Occasional friend or family visit |
| Paid additional pass | One-off extra guest |
| Three-month membership | Regular short-term use |
| Standard membership | Long-term use |
The same adult guest can be limited to six visits per year and no more than two visits in one month under the official terms.
Example Guest-Pass Costs
The following examples use estimated prices only.
One Adult Visit
| Charge | Example |
|---|---|
| Adult guest pass | £25 |
| Food and drink | £12 |
| Total visit | £37 |
Adult and Child Visit
| Charge | Example |
|---|---|
| Adult guest pass | £25 |
| Child guest pass | £10 |
| Total | £35 |
Four Paid Visits
| Charge | Example |
|---|---|
| Cost per pass | £25 |

When a person plans to visit regularly, compare the total guest-pass cost with an actual membership quote.
How to Avoid Guest-Pass Problems
Before visiting, confirm:
- Pass is valid
- Correct club is selected
- Date is correct
- Host will be present
- Guest fee has been paid
- Entry time is permitted
- Guest has identification
- Pool is available
- Spa access is confirmed
- Class is not guaranteed

Take a screenshot of the booking confirmation in case the mobile connection is poor, but the club may still require the live pass or booking record.
Common Reasons a Guest May Be Refused Entry
A club may refuse access when:
- The pass has expired
- The pass was issued for another date
- The member is not present
- The guest has exceeded visit limits
- The club is at capacity
- Entry is attempted during a restricted period
- The guest cannot provide requested identification
- The pass is not valid at that club
- The booking has not been completed
- The guest has previously broken club rules
Contacting reception in advance is the safest way to avoid wasted travel.
Is a David Lloyd Guest Pass Worth It?
A guest pass may be worthwhile when someone wants to:
- Try the gym before joining
- Swim with a member
- Spend a leisure day with family
- Attend an available class
- Explore the Clubroom
- See the facilities before requesting a membership quote
It may not offer good value when:
- The guest wants to visit regularly
- Spa access is excluded
- The desired class is full
- The club has strict peak restrictions
- Several family members need paid passes
- A three-month membership would cost less overall
