I have been a member of David Lloyd for a number of years and have seen the price creep up without things actually improving.
The gym equipment to be fair suited me. It was new and included treadclimbers which I was a regular user of when they were not 'awaiting repair' as they often were.
The main bugbear is that once you have got through the turnstiles you have to wade through the glorified crèche. Lots of kids just running into you and blocking the only route to the changing rooms whilst their parents sip Costa coffee in blissful ignorance.
With bottles of water costing £1.50 it would be better to drink the pool water. Then again, the outside pool is in worse condition than a lot of council pools.
The air conditioning barely works in winter so you can imagine how uncomfortable it gets in summer.
Interesting after they boast about how much they spent on the refurbishments!
So rather than endure another year of it, I gave my 3 months notice in at the end of last year and await JJB Fitness to open!

For that poor service, you may as well have been going to the local council run gym. I have beloonged to LA fitness (formerly Dragons) for about 10 years, but I am notin MK so don't know if you have one there.
Advantages: More children, no equipment, more expensive food, less changing areas Disadvantages: They'll probably still make loads of money - vote with your feet people!!!
