    I joined the West Bridgford David Lloyd back in June 2009.

    Trust me, its very very expensive just to join the gym. Costing me £71 per month. Not much facilities in the gym area and carpets look filty and unclean.

    Nobody ever talks to you. Booked for a personal trainer but he never turned up on the day. Seems to be not enough staff.

    They only want your money. Trust me on this. Wish my contract was up, but will be cancelling soon and joining somewhere else.

    They are generally just money grabbing and ludicrously expensive. Added to which their customer service is shocking. I think they reckon that we should all be incredibly grateful to thm for allowing us to belong to such a fantastic 'private' gym, rather than feeling that THEY should be grateful for OUR custom.

    Pettifogging rules, 12 years olds enforcing them, insolent and unhelpful staff, queues, not answering phones....the list is endless.

    Take your custom elsewhere.

    I would strongly advise anyone joining David Lloyd. I have been a member for 8 years - the last 3 years on my own so imagine my surprise when they rang my expartner who I had the joint membership with on his mobile number and asked him for information about me and gave him my address. This made it impossible for me to return there but would they waive the 3mths notice - well what do you think? They would not admit ringing him let alone breaching the data protection laws and merely passed the deb ...

    My first ever posting on this forum

    Can I thank everyone on this forum for helping me decide to leave David Lloyd. All your comments confirm what I have thought for a while. I started the year over weight and joined DL Basildon as a corporate member for £68 a month. I have not a clue what a corporate member offers and never been told but it is certainly not the £20 saving sold to me when I joined. (BTW I only get gym access for that money). The club is run with charges for ever ...

    David Lloyd Cambridge is the best club in the area, it has had some bad times but is getting better and i could not ask for a better club. They have just undergone a full gym referbishment with a huge range of equipment and the personal traniers are very helpful. Another welcome addition is the creche which is great as i leave my little one in there whilst i work out. Staff are good and always helpful, would recomend to anybody in the area.

    STAY WELL AWAY FROM THIS CLUB. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT BY THE MEMBERSHIP DEPT, NOT TO SAY BREAKING DATA PROTECTION!

    only get value if you use it regularly and many of the facilities, courts always booked up, gym over full need more facilities not members.

    I rate this on the basis that I am (at age 75) a recent newcomer to gyms and my only experience beyond David Lloyd is of a Local Authority gym which I looked at and which by comparison was terrible.

    I do not think that you get value for money at DL the service is poor and the equipment and facilities are dirty. Furthermore the classes are always fully booked. They have just increased their membership fee by over £25 to add salt to my wound.

    I'm reasonably satisfied with the facilities at my local club (Worthing). Most staff are pleasant -with just one exception who is on reception at times who is rude and condescending. The shower facilities are not the best and need updating with the changing rooms.
    A subscription increase has just been notified.There was no reduction this year when VAT was reduced and I'm sure they said that as they'd retained the benefit of the VAT reduction they'd freeze subs for 2010. Still waiting for an answ ...

    I am a member at David Lloyd, Cheam. Its is a great family club but I am particularly upset with one of their receptionist in particular, whose rude and inconsiderate. She makes my trip to the gym a very depressing especially when she's the first person you meet as you enter the club.
    I feel that its a very money minded gym, charging £7.50 entrance fee for outsiders who wish to dine in the club.
    I received a later yesterday, informing me of my gym membership price increase(Again). I have t ...

I told t ...

    I was a member of David Lloyd, Port Solent, and felt that once the staff had my direct debit set up they lost interest in my custom and my health. I cancelled my membership after a year, then stupidly decided to give them a second chance. That time I left sooner. Recently my step daughter gained a life saving qualification, wrote an excellent CV and travelled down from Loughborough to Port Solent to stay with us and hope to get a job at David Lloyd. Having spoken to a member of staff on the ...

    I am currently a member at David Lloyds in Chorley Lancashire.
    The facilities are second to none with a huge gym with an indoor and outdoor pool.
    The staff are warm and friendly.
    However watch out for the tatics of the sales team as they will tell you anything you want to hear and hope you dont read the small print on the contract.
    I joined my daughter (£30 a month)for what I was told was for an intial 3 months and then I had to only provide one full months notice to end the contract.

    David Lloyd just want your money they dont care about you as a person and they are not interested in your circumstances. I was made redundant in April and have no way of paying the £83 every month. They said that all they can do is freeze my membership until my situation gets better. I am happy to freeze it for 6 months until I can find work again however today I get a letter from them in the post saying whilst it is frozen I wont be able to use the gym (fair enough)and I need to pay 25% o ...

    The air conditioning in David Lloyd's Worthing branch has not worked properly for months. It was supposed to have been fixed several weeks ago but it still drips and there are buckets and towels collecting water - however, it is already ruining the wooden flooring. Whether it is on or off the gym is far too hot. Repairs and maintenance in general are slow - cleaners are everywhere but the cleaning is superficial. DL charges top fees but does not deliver a first class service. I am disappoin ...

    Beware, special offers from David Lloyd Leisure Health Club may result in you paying subscriptions for about two years, even if you are unable to go FOR ANY REASON. My daughter's unknown pregnancy on joining and subsequent circumstances and medical reasons for not using the gym, has resulted in David Lloyd Gym charging for two years with nothing in return. There are much fairer options!

    Poor value for money. If you decide to cancel your membership with david lloyd, every effort is made to get as much money from you as possible, including 'not receiving' your cancellation letters or phone calls. I would not recommend it to anyone.
