...knackering ) day at the David Lloyd fitness centre in Milton Keynes and felt inspired to write about it. Although I am not a member, I have been using the facilities for a few years now obtaining day passes which grant you access to all facilities available.

Advantages: Latest equipment, long opening hours, when quiet easy to get on everything Disadvantages: Too hot, too many kids, not really a proper gym, changing rooms not overally clean
...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.

For my extra money I will get inferior gym equipment (cardio machines are replaced with technogym equipment that doesn't ... ...it COULD be so good but this gym is all about taking your hard earned cash. David Lloyds should rename the club McFitness or Tesco's Fitness Emporium. I'm bitterly dissapointed after being a member for nearly 3 years - avoid! avoid! avoid! Corporate rubbish! with one motive: cash!!!!. ...

Advantages: Excellent facilities Disadvantages: Cost of membership fees
...became a member of the David Lloyd Leisure Club in Milton Keynes following the recommendations of a number of friends and colleagues and I can say in my opinion that although the membership fees are higher compared to many other Health Clubs in the area, the facilities are second to none. With two heated pools (indoor and outdoor), two very well equipped gyms and a vast number of squash and tennis courts the equipment and service provided by the ...
