David Lloyd Purley

I came here from Manchester Cheadle, I was refused entry to spa retreat as I didn’t have my card. The manager was also very rude and not bothered of why my membership wasn’t updated. She just said use the swimming area and left.

Also the spa facilities were like this. Least recommend DL in UK.

Sums up my time at David Lloyd Purley. On the first impression, the club looks sprawling and nice. The club overall is clean. The pool is nice. The gym however, is very small compared to the size of the club. The Spa is luxurious, but very often the Jacuzzi or one of the Saunas are out of order.

The toilets often stink. Very often over the past year, there are problems with hot water, or water supply or towel supply, which is unacceptable given the mind-boggling subscription fees.

Overall, my impression is that its a Tennis club with a small gym attached to it. If you're a Tennis enthusiast, the club is great for your. Otherwise, given the high costs, you would be subsidizing the members who're there primarily for the Tennis.

Really good gym in Croydon. The family swimming pool is very nice when you have kids and it's good that they also have an adults only pool seperately. Gym / weights area is good too. The only downside is the toilets and changing rooms are a bit dated, could do with being updated and better cleaned - the family changing room smells a bit. However, overall probably the best gym available in Croydon

Great place, so far so good. The facilities here are great. There are some works going on at the moment but it is minor and all for the greater good. Stephen B is extremely knowledgeable about the club and Francesca in racquet sports is awesome too. It’s the staff that make a place like this and they all smile, say hello and chat, which is great.

Most of you probably know this place is quite expensive however if you are visiting atleast 4/5 times a week then it’s worth it. They have a massive gym with lots of equipments, love their classes- my favourites are Zumba, pilates and aqua!

David Lloyd Purley has been a big part of my life for a long time, particularly the squash section.

The friendly atmosphere and great facilities makes it a welcome place for all.

The squash in particular has lots of activity and sessions available for all levels throughout the week.This includes competitive club nights, league matches, beginner classes and kids coaching session. There is a great coaching team there to always help and welcome you. The squash section is a real core part of the club and would encourage anyway to come down and play.

I have been a member here for about 18 months. I use the gym which is large with lots of modern equipment. I also go to spin and Blaze classes which are great. Unlike gyms in Central London there aren't any instructor lead spin classes on weekday mornings or at lunchtimes which is a bit unfortunate.
The spa is lovely, great hydro pool, sauna's, steam rooms and relaxation area.
I have also used the tennis courts with no problem.
There were a lot of issues previously with virtual spin classes but the Manager was very helpful and these seem to have been resolved.
The only downside is the price which has increased 3 times during my membership. If I did not attend at least 3 times a week or take advantage of the courts and spa it would not be worth it.

Nice David Lloyd with lots of tennis courts. Although the facilities were brilliant and i had so much fun with my friends, the atmosphere was v lacking and it could easily be made into a much more friendly and exciting place to be. Just smile and have some fun, it's a leisure club!
