Which David Lloyd Clubs Can I Use With Platinum Membership

With a David Lloyd Platinum membership, you can access most clubs in the UK and Europe that are in the same tier as your home club or any lower tier. This includes full use of the gym, spa, and racquet facilities available at those locations.

With Platinum, you receive multi-club access throughout different regions, spanning clubs from Tier 1 to Tier 7, plus the exclusive Super Tiers. This means, whether you are travelling for work, visiting friends, or are in the mood for a change of scenery, your membership works in a lot of places.

Platinum members can access their home club and almost all the clubs in the David Lloyd network in the UK and Europe. The exceptions are a few Harbour Clubs and high-tier premium sites like Chelsea, Notting Hill, and Kensington. To check exactly which clubs you can visit, find out your home club’s tier and compare it with the tiers of other David Lloyd clubs, as at least 50% of your visits must be to your designated home club.
