Gym & Classes

The gym floor carries the current David Lloyd spec: the latest cardio kit (treadmills, cross trainers, bikes), free weights, cable machines, functional training equipment and a dedicated stretching and recovery zone. The group exercise programme is one of the club’s stronger draws — HIIT, yoga, cycling, Pilates and cardio classes run through the week, alongside David Lloyd’s Signature classes including BLAZE, the group’s immersive heart-rate-tracked workout. Class demand at popular times is real at any big club, so it is worth checking the live timetable on a visit for the slots that matter to you.

Swimming Pools

Swimming is where Beckenham stands out from smaller clubs — there are three pools:

• 25m heated indoor pool — lane swimming year-round, with adult-only swim times for quieter training sessions.
• 20m heated outdoor pool — open for early-morning swims with the steam rising off the water in winter, and full summer use.
• Kids’ splash pool — with family swim sessions and Swim England-qualified lessons for children from three months old.

The Spa: Amida, Spa Retreat & Spa Garden

A naming note that matters if you’re searching: the spa here was known for years as the Amida Spa, and plenty of locals still call it that. The club now runs it as two connected adults-only spaces:

• The Spa Retreat (indoors, next to the pool) — Himalayan salt sauna, crystal steam room, whirlpool and a plunge pool for cold-therapy contrast work.
• The Spa Garden (outdoors) — a hydro pool, fire pit and loungers, added in the club’s recent spa expansion, with a new outdoor sauna planned to extend the outdoor offer further.

For members who train hard, the hot-and-cold circuit is genuinely useful recovery kit rather than just an indulgence — and it is a big part of what the premium membership is paying for.

Tennis, Padel & Racquets

David Lloyd began as a tennis business and Beckenham honours that: indoor and outdoor tennis courts mean year-round play, with coaching and social formats for adults and juniors, plus padel, pickleball and badminton. If racquets are the reason you’re joining, Beckenham is one of the better-equipped clubs in this part of London.

Membership & Cost

David Lloyd does not publish a rate card — prices are set club by club and released on enquiry, varying by membership type (individual, joint, family), access level and current promotions. As a large London club with two pools, a spa and full racquets facilities, Beckenham sits at the premium end for the area. The way the membership types, tiers and typical costs work across the group is covered in our full guide to David Lloyd membership costs.

Location & Practicalities

The club is at Stanhope Grove, Beckenham, BR3 3HL, in a residential setting on the edge of town with on-site parking. It draws members from Beckenham, Bromley, West Wickham, Crystal Palace and the wider south-east London area. Opening hours run early morning to late evening on a schedule that varies by day — the club publishes current times, including holiday hours.

Injuries, Physio & Protecting Your Training

Here’s the part regular trainers tend to think about only after something goes wrong. A shoulder impingement, a knee that swells after tennis, a back that seizes mid-lift — the difference between a few weeks off and a lost year is usually how fast you get a diagnosis, physio and (if needed) surgery. NHS waits for musculoskeletal pathways can run long; private cover moves the same journey to private speed.

It’s locally practical, too: The Sloane Hospital is right here in Beckenham (BR3), so a covered consultation, scan or procedure doesn’t even mean leaving town, and private physiotherapy across London offers same- and next-day appointments. Two honest notes: insurance covers new conditions that arise after joining — not pre-existing ones — and sports injuries are generally covered when they’re new. Some insurers also sweeten membership itself: our guide to gym discounts through health insurance covers which provider does it properly.
