What a launch weekend. Big shout out to all the members that came to take part. You sweated, you worked hard but above all you smiled and had fun!
And that's exactly what group exercise is all about. Training hard, getting fit, and having fun all in equal measures.
This weekend has seen 178 spaces utilised in Les Mills classes alone. That's a huge turnout and one of the biggest launch weekends ever. It was also great to see so many new members join us for the first time in a... class. We hope that our passion for loving what we do shone through and that we will see you again.
If you didn't make it, here's a few photos from the weekend. And remember we will be using all the new releases over the next 6 weeks at least, so plenty of time for you to find and book your class to try it for yourself.
Lastly. Huge shout out to an amazing instructor team. I couldn't have done it without you. Can't believe it's the last one I'll organise for DL Birmingham. You are all awesome!

Maintenance Update
After multiple cubicle closures over recent months, we're delighted to say that the floor in the male showers is being completely re-tiled over the next 10 days.
To minimise disruption the works will take place in two phases; the right hand side showers first, followed by the left hand side in the second phase.
... The work starts today between 1-4pm where the 4 right hand side showers will be closed for the existing tiles to be ripped-up and the area allowed to dry out.
The right hand side showers will be re-tiled across Thursday-Friday and re-opened for the weekend.
The 6 left hand side showers will remain open throughout the first phase of the works. We also have alternative changing/showers available in the Tennis side changing room.
The left hand side shower floor works will take place next week and we will keep you updated with the details in Club and on our Facebook page.
Thanks

We have just joined the club and have had such an amazing warm welcome from all of the friendly staff who really can't do enough for you. Both me and my husband have been in and out of fitness over the years but joining david lloyd feel different. It's a has a social side to it that's great only this morning I had my first ever go at tennis and while I was so pleased that when we entered the courts at 9.30 am we were the only ones in there, within ten mins we were greeted by a coach Bill who informed us that every Monday they have social group for tennis and the court was soon packed. He still took his time to have a game with my self and my husband giving me tips and encouragement and made our hour in there really enjoyable and here was me thinking I'd hate tennis and was afraid of being in a court where people would see how rubbish I was at it. All the staff have been great right from Amy who joined us to the lovely friendly girl on reception who already knows my name and goes out of her way to welcome us each time, to Bill who was brilliant today !!! We already know we are going to love being members and it is by far the best thing we decided to do and worth every penny. Thanks David Lloyd and all the team, I feel like you have given me a new lease of life !!!

Loved every bit of my time in David Lloyd club.





BODYPUMP: Kate class the best.

Great gym, friendly staff, great facilities and classes.

Great club great atmosphere great staff, me and the whole family use the club two three times a week and feel at home every time...

Great Zumba class today as always with Sarah Wilson. So much fun while burning lots of calories. An evening Zumba would be great with Sarah.

I had the grilled chicken and bacon pitta for lunch. Although the staff were very busy with this lovely sun we are having, my food was lovely and I would have it again. Compliments to the chef.

Friendly staff, clean changing rooms and gym. Loads of equipment. Just one thing as a professional qualified Personal trainer, PE teacher and Assessor. The gym staff should education people to put the weights away when they Finished using them.

This will prevent slips trips and falls

Fantastic gym!! Myself and my son use your club every other day, sometimes every day if i get chance ;) everyone is so helpful and happy to help. My son loves going to DL kids clubs and he's making some lovely friends. Thanks for a fantastic club �

Fantastic club, well maintained and staff go above and beyond to ensure members are happy. The children's club is outstanding and offers a great variety of activities for all age groups.

Absolutely amazing Pamper Party for our little Princess. She had an amazingly perfect party with her Princess friends. It’s not every day that you get pampered.



The thought, effort, detail and coordination that went into delivering our party is impressive. Loads of compliments from other parents. Thank you David Lloyd Kids team and LA Pamper Me for such a brilliant party!

Absolutely LOVE this place! Joined in September thanks to Marcus and haven't looked back since, now regularly visit at least 3-4 times a week and take the kiddies along too. Lianne the kids club manager is fabulous and always does her best to fit my daughter into the classes of her choice. Sean the tennis coach is amazing and has worked with my friend and I during a free taster course which we really enjoyed and the fitness coaches are absolutely brilliant, so friendly and helpful, Steven, Charlie, Leon - always happy to help and they sure do know their stuff! 5 ***** everytime from me xxx

Myself and my husband are very happy with everything enjoy the classes and swimming pool etc,staff have always been lovely very friendly.Yes the car park can be busy but have always found a space ,it's very clean we have no complaints at all thank you all for your hard work xx

I was a member for 3 years but when the price started to creep up more and more each year (nearly £10 extra) I decided I couldn't afford my membership anymore & cancelled last Christmas. I did not like the way in which I was bombarded with phonecalls afterwards, after already discussing my cancellation over the phone after my written notice was handed in. I ended up having to block the number as I was being called everyday from January until April last month.

I cannot fault the facilities or equipment, however I feel parking is always an issue especially on weekends when there are multiple lessons and classes on during the morning. There have been many occasions where I have driven around the carpark multiple times then given up and gone home as the carpark has been full. I appreciate there is space to park on the road outside, however for the monthly fee I was paying I expect to be able to park within the grounds.

I also feel David Lloyd in general does not reward it's long term members or provide any extra incentives, which I feel is a let down as the club's themselves are great. On the whole I enjoyed the time i used the club, but the increase in price in a short space of time and lack of parking made it difficult for me to justify remaining a member. I would however, not rule out rejoining in the future if the prices and my my working hours were more flexible.

Arrived at the gym today, battled through the snow to realise my daughter was the only child in kids club. Leanne and dl kids were great with her. For 2 hours she had there full attention. Tennis, building a snowman and play area kept her busy. Thankyou. She loved it

They are out of touch with there members it’s unreal. Unable to provide resolution to problems and issues. I have been a member for over 23 years, but have noticed the service has dropped recently. I was overcharged on the direct debit.

The new timetable is terrible, despite most members complaining.

This club is obviously heading in the wrong direction, come on David Lloyd get it together.

I've notice that during the month on June DL are allowing Health and Fitness member to use the tennis courts at no extra cost.



Can I ask will Full Members be getting a reduction on June monthly subscription to match H&F memberships?



I have seen reviews on this site about the spa, only 60% on the spa actually works.



DL your letting your customers down hence the 2*

Equipment is dated and place is run down. Not sure its worth the price it is. Touch screen treadmills need reviewing as some take you to different options and some don’t work at all. 2 showers broken today one in mens changing and one by the pool.



Place needs an upgrade/lift on the above

Really bad , I cancelled my account at the end of Nov . Due to a foot operation . I gotta letter a few days ago where the manager James is saying my account is off suspension and they will take my money out my account ! Which they did . What professional company does that ?! I'll will be taking action . This it out of order . So one isn't doing there job properly ! They have my medical letter saying I can continue this gym which they confirmed . And still they messed up ! That money they taken out was for my bills aswell , now I have to pay late payment fee for the bills because of this mistake made by James .

Not even worth one star, do not join! My child had to deal with a tennis teacher that thinks it is appropriate to bully and question his schooling! Running around a tennis court doing laps is certainly not what I pay for. His previous teacher built his confidence with tennis, this one has crushed it in 2 sessions!!

Due to this disgusting treatment the whole family are now cancelling there membership and I will be taking this further.

Had a 3 month joined contract beginning last year with my then husband. He then took out an individual contact after that for a year and paid from his own account. He cancelled in Feb and they decided to go back to our old joined contact and took money for his 3 months notice from MY account. We are divorced since September last year! I find this disgusting. ..how can they take banking details from an old contact???
