“Lots of youngsters from 12 years and under on the gym...”

★★★☆☆

I do not understand why DL has a new policy of allowing kids from the age of 12 to use the gym equipment on their own. I have been going to various gyms for years and i know that they are doing more harm to themselves than good. Nobody supervises them and they have no idea what to do - it is obvious that they have not been shown how to use the equipment as they have to keep asking each other what to do! I saw one lot throwing the weights balls to each other! When I saw a young group - yes they come in groups so they can show off to each other - arrive with their toddler brother who was hanging from the equipment!! I told reception but nothing has been done and I have given up mentioning it as they are not interested. I would like to know how this new policy started, why members were not told and how it is being monitored.

I totally agree. I hate all the kids hanging around at the David Lloyd gyms now. When you walk into the lounge area at Fulham, the noise is incredible. It is meant to be an exclusive(ish) health club / gym and yet it is basically a nursery now. You can’t relax anywhere. Even the pool area and sauna is noisy with kids running and screaming everywhere. I can’t wait for my contract to end.

Thank you! It is good to know I am not the only one with concerns and your comment about DL becoming a nursery is "bang on the money" as one of the staff members in the gym area even acknowledged that "we are being used as a babysitting service".
