Quick review of David Lloyd Clubs, Manchester
I've been a member since May 2008 and overall myself and my partner have been very disappointed.
1. Very rarely is equipment in full working order. There are always machines broken and take an age to be fixed.
2. Just getting in the club can be a nightmare. To use a locker in the gents changing room you must first collect a padlock from reception, this means joining a queue with potential customers, people who are booking tennis courts etc. I regularly stand for 5 minutes or more waiting to be served and again on the way out.
3. There is always something broken, the men's toilets were broken for around 3 months.
4. Staff are pleasant but there is never enough of them, even at peak times! ...

fee and we joined as a couple so that we got discounted monthly membership
fees. We had a look round David Lloyd before we joined and decided it was
what we wanted. But its definitely not the gym for a person who wants a
cheap and cheerful one.
One reason I chose to join is that it opens at 6.30am ... ...bothered dragging myself out of bed) and open until
about 10pm so I don't have to go straight after work if I want a bit of a
rest. The staff are friendly and very helpful. There gym is big so that
you can normally get on a piece of equipment quickly even if it is busy. The womens changing rooms are nice, clean and spacious, with 3 cubicles, and
all the showers are separate cubicles. The spa is lovely, and great place to relax after the gym. ...
