David Lloyd Nottingham

Fantastic experience: I was given information about Ashley David Lloyd club by Ryan. He was kind, professional and helpful. There was no pushy sales pitch, informative and knowledgeable advice. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with my welcome meeting today led by Ryan. I was apprehensive about going into a fitness environment but Ryan was excellent and made me feel very welcome at the club. He explained the memberships to me in great detail, so purchasing my membership today was a no brainer. Jodie and Andrea were also very helpful and welcoming. Overall it was a lovely experience:)

Fantastic experience: Great club tho they could do with another smith machine and a machine for seated side lateral raises. Maybe a few more dumbbells ranging from the 16s to 30s as some of them only have one set( like the 18s only have one set. It's frustrating if some body is doing multiple different exercises ( like using the squat rack for shoulder press then in-between sets does lateral raises) it can mean those dumb old are our if action for half hour , instead of 10 mins if they were just doing lateral raises instead of treating it like they are doing a circuit. This would be be an issue if there were mor sets of them. Other than that it's a great club

Fantastic experience: What a great club. Very friendly, down to earth and ectremely welcoming, special mentions to all the staf, In the instructor led classes - Penny, Emilia, Shaq, and James. The tennis is run by Steve Tooley who is one of the nicest calmest guys you could have - perfect as a top tennis coach, Nick Ettienne is also one of the country's best junior speicialist tennis coaches, a wizard with a tennis racket instead of a wand and very hard working. The restaurant staff, work incredibly hard (Carmen, Vicky and the gang!) and are very calm under pressure. The back room staff (including the 'no-messing' Mark who has now disappeared to the office are always busy making things better behind the scenes and then there is the very hard working Rose, Abby and Lucy who run front of house with the rest of the team, and who always have a wonderful smile and cheery disposition for all the members, as well as a warm towel. Add in the constant hard working manager Gerard overseeing things, and you have an extremely well-run team and club who all do their utmost best to make it the great place it is. Highly recommened especially at the very reasonable cost it is. Lets not forget the cleaning team who are under immense pressure to keep a very busy club as clean as they can whilst still smiling

Fantastic experience: Ryan toured me today - mostly looking forward to the swimming :)

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Vitor. Had 3 massages with him so far and feel a massive improvement. He is so friendly and knowledgeable.

Positive experience: The car park is a nightmare for parents with small kids, though they have 2 lanes of family parking, the lots are always full of vans or high end cars with no kids seat in sight. The actual club is ok-ish, clean and tidy but could definitely do with a make-over and upgrade of facilities for modernisation.

Fantastic experience: I signed up today. Alex from the membership explained everything in details and answered all my questions.

Fantastic experience: Ryan has been amazing! He has been so patient with all the questions and explained everything in detail as we were joining as a family. He is great to talk to and very approachable.

Negative experience: I've been a member at David Lloyd for just over a year, though I was at this location from 2014 to 2019, so I’ve seen its evolution, especially since the private equity acquisition. While some areas have improved, the general decline in upkeep is disappointing, particularly given the high membership cost. Facilities & Cleanliness One of my biggest concerns is the cleanliness of the facilities, especially in the men’s changing and shower areas. Since rejoining, I’ve seen blood, shaven hair, used razors, and even used plasters left in the showers—issues that should be far better managed in a premium fitness club. Many men now avoid using the toilets near the pool, opting instead for those at the entrance of the changing room to steer clear of the poor conditions. Hygiene rules, such as wearing shoes poolside, are also frequently ignored by both staff and members, leading to dirty, wet surfaces around the pool. Other leisure centers, such as the David Ross Sports Centre at the University of Nottingham, manage to maintain much cleaner facilities at a fraction of the price, which makes David Lloyd’s decline in this area especially disappointing. Steam Room & Sauna Issues The steam room’s reliability is another ongoing issue. Over the past year, it’s been out of order about 35% of the times I’ve visited, and management often blames “member misuse” without finding a real solution. Why does this David Lloyd location seem to face such a unique problem in maintaining the steam room when countless other leisure centers manage theirs effectively? I'd like to know if the West Bridgford location faces this issue at such a high rate and if not, why? To make matters worse, the app doesn’t inform members in advance when facilities are broken, so we only find out after arriving. Additionally, the outdoor Jacuzzi has consistently been colder than the indoor one, with no resolution over the past year. The sauna, while enjoyable, is too small to accommodate members comfortably during peak hours, and people often end up standing or not being able to get in. Gym & Lounge The gym itself is well-equipped and offers a wide range of machines and free weights. However, the absence of a resident personal trainer or fitness attendant is noticeable. Previously, a trainer was available for quick advice and to reinforce basic etiquette like re-racking weights. Without this support, weights are often left scattered, detracting from the gym experience. For a premium gym that costs over £80 a month, I’d expect better service, especially when budget gyms like Pure Gym still offer this support. On a positive note, the lounge is a comfortable space for working or studying, with reliable WiFi throughout the facility. The staff are generally professional and friendly, though some of these overlooked details would significantly improve the member experience. Final Thoughts David Lloyd charges a premium, but the experience falls short in several key areas. While the gym and lounge are solid, the lack of attention to cleanliness, unreliable amenities, and absence of general support don’t match the price point. It’s disappointing to see that, in many respects, David Lloyd isn’t keeping pace with other gyms that charge significantly less.

Fantastic experience: Alex set me up, she did a very good job. Gym and pool are very nice.

Fantastic experience: Been coming for years. Great facilities. Staff are always friendly, helpful, and greet us with a smile, especially Abbey in reception

Fantastic experience: I wish to mention that whenever I see Rose Gethings on reception at David Lloyd, Aspley, she always greets me with a welcoming smile which I've noticed she does with other members. As front of house I feel this is very important and it sets up my days experience at the club. Nothing is too much trouble for her and if she doesn't know the answer to any questions I have she's always points me in the right direction.

Negative experience: Terrible club, no working AC in the studios where high impact classes run. Despite numerous times raising this as a concern, nothing has been done. In fact the opposite with units being removed from the room. Really poor experience and not what I'd expect from a DL club.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic bar staff on duty for the party tonight. Chris, Lauren and Tracey you are brilliant.

Fantastic experience: Thanks for another great day at the club, so many I’ve lost count. Whether we’re spending the whole day down there as a family, or just nipping in for a quick workout, I’m always chuffed with the product. Special mention to Rose on reception; not sure if you know everyone by name and greet us all in so enthusiastically (or whether it’s just your favourite members ha ha!) but it’s an incredible touch that always brightens my day. Thanks Gerard and the team, keep up the good work.

Fantastic experience: Josh was very helpful with helping me sign up

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and very clean services! Rose at front desk has been very helpful and kind, helping my adjustment to the new club.

Fantastic experience: Really excited to join and use the fantastic tennis facilities. Alex was so helpful giving me a tour and all the info I needed to sign up.

Fantastic experience: Ryan was brilliant, super nice and comfortable to talk with.

Fantastic experience: Alex was super at setting up my husbands membership love the health suit and swimming pool

Fantastic experience: Alex set up for my membership. Great experience!

Fantastic experience: Rose is the best person to welcome you into the club! Consistently makes an effort to use manners, she’s welcoming, kind hearted, and always happy to help. She’s a credit to the club, and just a wonderful human being!

Fantastic experience: Rose was very helpful and friendly when I came to the club on a guest pass. Sorted any concerns.

Negative experience: premium prices with sub-standard service. machines always breaking down and not being fixed in a reasonable time, e.g., 3 out of 4 rowing machines were broken for over 2 months.. no water cooler in men's changing room although promised by management... steam room with no stream.. dryer not working... the list goes on.. only the changing rooms were revamped.. club and equipment looks dated..

Fantastic experience: Abby was fantastic at reception, great customer service and made me and my friend feel welcomed and kept us informed about the latest activities! Brilliant

Fantastic experience: Ryan gave me a tour around, super helpful and answered any questions I had about the club

Fantastic experience: Rang to enquire about membership and was helped by Josh who had a meeting with me in person to discuss and helped me to find current offers on for membership. Great experience and looking forward to using the club :)

Fantastic experience: Had a tour of the facilities from Ryan, he was very helpful and informative, facilities look brilliant

Fantastic experience: Came into David Lloyd’s unsure about the service and facilities that they provide but the a staff member named Josh was able to guide me around and ensure all my enquires. Because of him I was confident and comfortable enough to join the club and all learn about benefits alongside. I recommend David Lloyd’s for all people.

Fantastic experience: Ryan was very lovely. He showed me around and got me signed up for a membership

Negative experience: Very useless gym dirty disgusting place and all the stuff are disrespectful. I have never seen like this gym. I won’t recommend to anyone to join this gym.

Fantastic experience: Ryan gave me a great tour around the premises and helped me find the things that I’d most like to do in the club. Many Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Lovely pool, amazing jacuzzi- very powerful and great for back pain! Sauna and steam room are fantastic! Definitely worth a visit!

Negative experience: Absolutely joke so quick to ask to write a review but when it come to dealing with my issue no one is to been seen. It’s been longer than 24 hours and my app still not working and still haven’t heard back from any team member about my issue. I’ve been calling and they say they call back but no calls to be received. I’ve spoke to numerous of staff on reception sounds like nobody knows what they are doing spoke to rich yesterday and no call back at all it’s disappointing.

Fantastic experience: I had a great tour from Alex today and an amazing introduction to David Lloyd in Nottingham, she was so helpful with explaining everything and really payed attention to my questions and needs, I loved the look of the indoor sports courts and the studios. Great experience!

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Alex Bailey for her time and help today. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about all the facilities and option. Answered all our questions and was very patient. I would highly recommend her to all the future members.

Fantastic experience: Rose and the team are very helpful and cheerful in the mornings - which is always a great way to start the day. The gym itself is very nice and even more so since the facilities have had a recent refurb. I would recommend this gym based on the amount of equipment available, good facilities, lovely friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: A really great badminton session Thanks to Rose on reception for her good humour and great customer service

Fantastic experience: Alex set me up for a membership today and it was lovely to see around. She has been super helpful. It was lovely to have a chat with her

Fantastic experience: I came today, I can say Alex is the best person in the gym . I believe I would tell all of my friends to come here. Thank you

Fantastic experience: A warm & friendly welcome from Rose at David Lloyd Aspley is a great way to start the day. A workout is so much easier in a club when you feel like an important member from the moment you walk through the door.

Fantastic experience: Alex was great, loved the facilities and the outdoor pool looks amazing.

Fantastic experience: Great tour of the club from Alex. Very knowledgeable and helpful, answered all questions we had. Thank you!!

Positive experience: It is not premium despite what they charge. The wifi is temperamental and doesn’t cover all areas!!! wtf?! The PTs are inexperienced and unknowable in advanced fitness skills that require deeper understanding of physiology. The gym does not have reformer Pilates machines, no assisted stretching machines, no ski machines, no box fit zone etc. things all premium gyms tend to have! Decor is still dated despite minor refit, not like premium gyms (no instagram trending lighting, digital screens, neon signage, mirrors etc.) - crap for social media fitness influencers, not til tok friendly either. The food menu is not based around Keto/ low carb centred choices either to help fast track achieving fitness goals. Food prices are too expensive for those who attend 4+ times per week making it unaffordable to eat there everyday. The car park is overgrown and needs landscaping maintenance. The 3rd party salon in reception has closed down and will not be reoccupied, rather converted into staff offices. It’s a mediocre health club which doesn’t really deliver on healthy living rituals.

Fantastic experience: It is a great club to be in! I love how friendly yet professional the staff are. Shout out to Eva Katai, one of the instructors, she has done amazing in all the Spirit, Yoga, and Zumba classes I have attended so far. My daughter learned how to swim in a month and her confidence in the water has grown from zero to a hundred.

Positive experience: At reception, Rose always greets us so beautifully and makes us feel welcome. Class and instructor, Annette, were fantastic. Air conditioning non-existent, however, and blinds needed on large studio window. Despite many complaints from clients, this has never been addressed.

Fantastic experience: Really helpful and uplifting staff, especially Rose in reception, Nottingham Aspley :-)))

Fantastic experience: Had a tour with Alex today and was really impressed with the quality of the racquet sport areas on offer here

Fantastic experience: I visited David Lloyd Aspley last week. I must say Rose on main reception is always so polite. On arrival I am always welcomed with a ‘good morning Neil’ and a towel placed in my hand. Without fail, Rose will say goodbye when departing the club. It’s these little details that make all the difference.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for several years and have to say that Rose on reception is a great asset to David Lloyd. These days it is quite unusual to get good customer and Rose treats everyone in an exemplary manner. She deserves top marks for her welcoming and friendly approach to her work.

Fantastic experience: Mark & Rose on reception are super helpful! All members of staff are brilliant. Penny shaq and James really know their stuff

Fantastic experience: Alex was lovely and informative about the facilities. I look forward to use the pool regularly as well as the other facilities that David Lloyds offers

Fantastic experience: Evie and Alex have been great at signing me and my dad up! I have been here a month, and it’s great to stay active. The classes and activities are great to keep fit and busy. The food is also great.

Fantastic experience: Alex showed me round and was incredibly friendly and informative, the facilities look amazing and it didn't take long to decide to sign up!

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend this club. Amazing staff especially Rose on reception

Fantastic experience: Rose has been so helpful this morning, with guest pass information and even helping me with my new phone! Always puts a smile on my face to see her first thing in the morning!

Fantastic experience: I recently visited David Lloyd and had a really positive experience. The staff were friendly and approachable, making the visit very enjoyable. Meg in particular was helpful in answering my questions and ensuring I had what I needed, her assistance definitely stood out.

Fantastic experience: Mark on reception as helpful always and such a ncie way to be greeted on arrival

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say how amazing Rose, she is always so smiley and welcoming. A great start to my day and just means alot. Thank you Rose

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at David Lloyd for many years. I want to highlight Rose on reception who has always been cheerful , helpful and responsive. She has been particularly helpful when I have had trouble with my card & gone out of her way to help. She’s also very welcoming and a delight to chat to.

Fantastic experience: Rose on reception is such a lovely lady and always greets people with a smile and a warm welcome, gives me a great start to the morning ahead ☺️

Fantastic experience: Mark on Reception - brilliant, always so lovely! Great man

Fantastic experience: Alex gave us a tour of the facilities and spent time going through everything in detail and answering our (many) questions. We were super impressed by the facilities and I was relieved to see that at peak times there is still space in the gym which is a big plus!

Fantastic experience: Amy is the loveliest girl I've spoken to at david lloyd clubs. 10/10 for customer service!

Positive experience: Review for Carmen in the bar area From the moment people walk in, she is incredibly welcoming, greeting everyone with a warm smile. Carmen's dedication to her work is evident—she is constantly on the move, ensuring that everyone is taken care of promptly and with great care.

Negative experience: Unfortunately dirty place. Changing rooms, swimming pools are dirty. Multiple conversations with management team without any positive outcome. You can tell exactly what is dirty, you can point but after day/week/month that place still will be dirty. During your contract they can change rules / they can change price of your direct debit. If you want to leave you have to pay for minimum 3months advance. Avoid / Avoid / Avoid / Avoid

Fantastic experience: Really loved the club Josh gave me a tour around and was very helpful with find the best option for which membership to go for.

Negative experience: I went this morning to Aspley David Lloyd very disappointing they didn’t let people know that sauna has service they literally put the sign this morning . Should Be message on the app?!

Fantastic experience: Had and excellent day and Mark, on reception, was particularly helpful. Thanks for making our experience trouble-free on our day-visit!

Fantastic experience: Mark has Amazing customer service . Always so friendly and polite and will to help whenever he can.

Fantastic experience: Alex is very helpful and kind, I was planning to register on the 16th next month, but the way she showed me the place and all the facilities made me change my mind and register from tomorrow! She did a really perfect job in marketing the place.

Fantastic experience: Mark is lovely and always super helpful! We have a great chat on Reception and he’s always welcoming to everyone. It makes David Lloyd a special place to visit

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to write a review for “Manny” we came for a tour a few weeks back for my bf to start a membership here! He did such a great job.. he assured me David Lloyd was the place to go. He took his time with everything! 5 star rating for you manny!

I'm very much looking forward to my time using the great facilities David Lloyd offers.

Fantastic experience: Lovely welcome as always from Rose on reception this morning. She’s an asset to the club, so helpful and friendly Followed by 2 great classes by Annette, always the professional and so motivating, such a fab start to the day. And my visit was rounded off perfectly by excellent service from Vicky in the lounge. That girl knows our group coffee order better than we do , she’s so efficient and very accommodating

Fantastic experience: The Spiritual Dance classes. Has to be experienced to feel the true beauty of this ancient but equally new concept. It truly transformed my mundane boring Monday into a magical experience. Thank you Ava for popping my cherry. ❤️A very happy Reggie.

Fantastic experience: On the tour, Josh is a kind and informative individual that is happy to help with your questions.
