David Lloyd Clubs, Edinburgh

...January 2001, my friend joined David Lloyd which had recently been built and opened in Gyle Park on the West of Edinburgh situated between Corstorphine and the Gyle! In July 2001 we noticed and offer in teh paper for a £50 joining fee so we phoned and arranged a look round!

We were impressed! A large car park with plenty of spaces and also from the outside the building looked clean and welcoming!

David Lloyd also have a function suite which is just off reception. They have a extremely large hall which can be shuttered off into 2 smaller rooms. We recently held a naming ceremony here and it was well worth the £500 we paid for it. The staff were great about keeping us informed about everything and the buffet was great too.

If you are in Edinburgh and live nearby you should check this club out. I can assure you ... more

My husband and I had been members at a gym for a while but found while I was pregnant that we weren't using it so decided to end our membership!

In January 2001, my friend joined David Lloyd which had recently been built and opened in Gyle Park on the West of Edinburgh situated between Corstorphine and the Gyle! In July 2001 we noticed and offer in teh paper for a £50 joining fee so we phoned and arranged a look round!

We were impressed! A large car park with plenty of spaces and also from the outside the building looked clean and welcoming!

The staff were very helpful on the front desk and were polite while we waited to see a membership advisor!

The membership advisor was very helpful and showed us round and answered all our questions. She showed us the soft play area. Pointed out where children were allowed to sit and also mentioned about children not being permitted in the club after 8pm in the evening!

We then saw the gym where it was explained about the gym induction and about how best to use the facilities according to when we had time so that maybe we wouldn't come at peak times.

We then put on little blue bag over our shoes and were shown the swimming pool. They have a baby pool, a jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and also an outdoor pool which is now open all year round. It was also explained about adult only times in the pool.

We then looked at the tennis courts but as we don't play it wasn't really of interest. We then went back through to reception where we were shown the creche which is open 7 days a week and we also had a nosy in the nursery which is run by Asquith Court.

We then joined very quickly and easily paying our joining fee and that month's fee's. We also set up a direct debit for our monthly fee's. We were then given a card which we were to use until our proper memberships came through.

We do use the club regularly. As we have many friends who go there it is teh pace to meet up while the children play in softplay and we also go swimming. We have also eaten there and the food is good and served within a reasonable time unless at the weekends and it is very busy.

The club can be very busy at weekends, school holidays and on Friday afternoons. Otherwise it is a great place to visit in the morning or in the early part of the afternoon.

We use the pool regularly and it is always clean and very rarely have we been not able to use any of it! Children under 4 have to wear swimming nappies and all children must be supervised.

I haven't used the gym for a while since before I had my baby so I can't comment except to say that I should really get myself another induction and get myself back there.

David Lloyd also have a function suite which is just off reception. They have a extremely large hall which can be shuttered off into 2 smaller rooms.

If you are in Edinburgh and live nearby you should check this club out. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.
