Superb spa retreat.

A decent gym with a range of facilities, but this whole place looks visibly dated. The layout is a little awkward and getting down to the sauna and steam room is like making your way to/from the bathrooms at a Wetherspoon's. Decent views from the gym floor, but be prepared to walk up and down a lot of steps! Changing rooms were a little on the claustrophobic side.

Exceptionally spacious given how Central it is in London! Vast range of equipment in a very lively gym. Can easily get a good workout in here, even during peak times.

A very lively gym with a decent range of equipment. The sauna is definitely on the cramped side.

Well-equipped gym with a boxing ring on the inside. Layout is a little cluttered around the deadlifting area but otherwise good. Superb views from the stairmasters! I wouldn't be too keen to use their towels, they always smelt funky.

It was very dark and it stunk. Layout I wasn't a fan of.

Semi-Flying visit, but unaware the branch was undergoing refurbishment. Presuming the men's locker room was out of bounds as we were signposted to use what I'm presuming was the family changing room, which has to be the smallest changing room I've ever seen in a David Lloyds! There were only about 30 lockers and all of them appeared to have been occupied, less than ideal if you have to lug around luggage during a workout!

Following the refurbishment of the gym, it seems to have gotten... worse? Not sure if I'm going crazy, but there seems to be less equipment? Despite having a nice, spacious lobby (once you go upstairs to get there), Worst structural layout of any David Lloyd's I've ever been to. You either have to use the lifts (which take forever to come and they don't feel all that robust) or stairs that are a real hazard if you've got wet sliders on. Just go to Notting Hill.

The gym has undergone a much-needed refurbishment and is now a much fresher environment to work out in. God-tier seafront views have been better utilised. Changing rooms now look dated in comparison. I can still confirm that the steam room is still exemplary in regards to it's intensity relative to it's size.

This is now a go-to destination. The refurbishment of the whole club is complete and is now a very pleasant environment, especially during the summer now that this branch has a great spa retreat and numerous padel courts which has definitely resulted in a marked increase in popularity - maybe a little too popular, especially with the spa during Thursday evenings.

Discovered the work area which I can only describe as exemplary, and up with the likes of Brighton. They have private booths and a spacious workspace akin to a high-end office with plenty of peripherals and very comfortable chairs. Would definitely do work from here again. Showers are also superb, very spacious. Everything else is still awkward.

Excellent, a vast gym with a wide range of equipment, to the point where you are spoilt for choice. Open 24/7 which I imagine is very useful. Would visit again.

Very quiet gym with a wide range of machines for people with a no-frills, no-nonsense approach towards their workout environment. As it's essentially a converted office building, the layout can take some getting used to.

Decent changing room.

The gym equipment available is vast and the gym itself is spacious, spaced across two floors but unfortunately comes with a two-tone stink - you're greeted with the smell of body odour upon entry and then the changing room stank of raw sewage. The smell was unbearable in the changing room and on one visit, there was no hand soap available!

Very "Essex". Love it.

The outdoor spa garden is really nice

No notes for this visit.

Indoor Spa retreat looks tired, but outdoor spa retreat is so much nicer. This is like a photocopy of Sudbury Hill (2023)

Half of the gym equipment was broken and half the other equipment was visibly worn. Half the westside facilities were out of order and the provisions for changing into/out of wetsuits were lacklustre. Whole place needed cleaning. Wouldn't recommend.

Amazing throughout

No notes for this visit.

It's so wonderfully ghetto, I nickname it "White Refrigerator". The atmosphere looks absolutely atrocious (from a David Lloyds member perspective) but functionally, it's superb - hence the high score. Has a Cafeteria, but didn't try. Would definitely visit again, proper gym equipment for serious, no-nonsense gym rats.

Had issues with access, but well equipped and great customer service otherwise.

Well-equpped, but they use shower curtains.

My first ever gym visit.

Obscene membership price, so only came here as a guest. Good "Talent", and had a bad encounter with a rude receptionist. Good steam room & sauna. Very clean throughout.

Used to be a regular here. Always smelt terrible. Very interesting characters here, some feral as many lockers are broken into. Guaranteed to have at least one person loitering in the changing rooms.

The gym was well-equipped, but in dire need of a refurb to match the reception area. Amazing Spa retreat comparable to Enfield and Chigwell.

I'm a regular visitor here. Best inner-London branch. They don't serve burritos here and the parking is literally 'stacked', which can pose a real issue if the car park is busy or your car is stranded.

Remarkable branch all round, Amazing "Talent" and similar vibe to Chigwell.

Excellent all round. Superb "Talent". Exterior doesn't do the club justice. My favourite branch.

Classifying this as a Tier 1 branch at the time of visit must've been a joke or a mistake. Hugely disappointing all round and the spa retreat was an insult - the worst one I've ever been to. Only redeeming factors are the spacious changing rooms and the car park. Just go Chigwell and spare yourself the pain.

Gym felt a little crowded with the low(ish) ceiling and the spa retreat stunk of old men. Left the spa after 15 minutes.

Certain members here lacked basic manners. Quick(ish) visit with a friend.

I'm a regular at this gym - customer service is great, but let down to poor maintenance with equipment and facilities and lengthy delays in rectifying them. Car park can be an issue in busy periods.

Lockers are stupidly thin, but there's over 800 available. Someone attempted to break into my locker on my October 2025 visit.

Very nice decor, buy only the swimming pool is available if you don't have access to the spa retreat. Didn't use the gym.

No notes for this visit.

Sauna & Steam rooms are painfully tiny, but the outdoor pool facilities redeem it.

People are very friendly here. Would recommend for wholesome vibes (or I was just lucky)

An exemplary, solid 10/10 Spa Retreat and excellent "Talent", would absolutely recommend if you're in the Manchester area.

Work area is basically the corridor

Average, but the "Talent" makes up for it.

No notes for this visit.

No Steam Room hence the low swim score.

Average all round.

Currently undergoing refurbishment. Gym has vastly improved with new equipment, but westside facilities were still under construction. 4/10 from my original October 2023 visit.

Diabolical all-round, the worst David Lloyds bench I've ever visited. Throw the whole thing away and start again.

Great place to bring a guest as the Spa Retreat is accessible to all.

A branch that's sadly going downhill through the lack of maintenance, diabolical plumbing (resulting in a foul-smelling changing room) and at least one facility or gym machine out of use.

Super spacious gym, but is let down by the lack of cleanliness. Outdoor pool water was filthy and the changing rooms are consistently stuffy.
