Last updated: June 2026
David Lloyd Platinum Membership is the company’s most inclusive main membership package. It provides unrestricted access to the facilities at your home club, plus premium benefits such as racquet sports, Blaze classes, selected luxury Spa Retreats, multi-club access, a monthly guest pass at participating clubs and a fresh towel on every visit.
An individual David Lloyd Platinum Membership is estimated to cost approximately £130 to £230 or more per month in 2026.
However, David Lloyd does not publish one fixed national Platinum price. The amount you pay depends on your chosen club, location, contract length, membership category, local facilities and current promotions.
Platinum is best suited to members who regularly use more than the gym and swimming pool. It can provide better value for people who use the spa, tennis or padel courts, Blaze classes, multiple clubs and guest benefits.

- Standard or Flexible contract
- Individual, couple or family membership
- Number and age of linked children
- Available spa facilities
- Racquet and padel facilities
- Current membership demand

The Home-Club Rule
Your home club should remain the David Lloyd location you visit most frequently.
