We also offer outstanding coaching programmes for children with around 25,000 learning to swim each week. Our members and team members can also enjoy health and beauty spas, lounges with free Wi-Fi and delicious food, crèches, nurseries, specialist sports shops as well as social events and activities such as quiz evenings, competitions and charity events to name a few!

Our Story So Far

David Lloyd Leisure was founded in 1984 by former professional tennis player David Lloyd, who sought to create high-quality fitness destinations suitable for the whole family. He recognised that the UK had very few indoor sport and leisure facilities, so created a pioneering concept of combining fitness and tennis in a family-friendly environment.

The very first David Lloyd Club to open its doors was David Lloyd Heston – a club which is still open and operating today. By 1995 there were 18 clubs in the UK, at which point the business was bought by British leisure giant Whitbread. David Lloyd Leisure was then purchased by private equity firm TDR in 2013, and since then our total number of clubs has increased from 90 to 116 through a combination of acquisition and new builds.

Giving something back
Doing the right thing by our members, our employees and the communities in which we operate is something we are really passionate about. We have recently introduced ‘DL Giving’, giving our team members the opportunity to give something back to the local community through charity volunteering and fundraising.

We also use our expertise to motivate and inspire schools, higher education institutions and other organisations. As an employer we understand the importance of supporting local causes and we want to lead the way and become Europe’s most environmentally aware health and fitness operator.
