Facilities are as listed by David Lloyd in October 2026. When the club opened it had eight outdoor tennis courts; it now lists six, with three padel courts added, so if padel in Farnham is the draw, this is one of the few clubs in the area with dedicated courts. Some areas, such as the Spa Garden, depend on your membership tier.
The Spa, Spa Garden and Outdoor Pool
The spa is the reason many people search for this club. It opened in 2011 as the Amida Spa, more than 1,000 square metres with six treatment rooms, four relaxation rooms and a plunge pool, and it is now branded as the club’s Spa Retreat and Spa Garden. Inside: saunas, aromatherapy steam rooms, tepidarium beds, plunge pools and a hydro pool. Outside, the Spa Garden has the heated outdoor pool, which is reserved for Platinum members. Spa days, massages and treatments are booked separately through the club and prices are not published online, so ask for the current spa menu when you visit.
David Lloyd Farnham Membership Costs
David Lloyd does not publish club-by-club prices online. What you pay depends on:
- Membership tier, which decides which facilities you can use; the Spa Garden and outdoor pool are Platinum.
- Off-peak or anytime access.
- Individual, joint or family membership.
- Joining fees and promotions, which vary. The club has advertised a three-month membership option.
- Extras, such as the crèche, children’s swimming lessons, tennis and padel coaching, spa treatments and personal training, which cost more.
The way to get an exact price is to book a tour, which is also the best time to ask about joining-fee offers. Compare with our David Lloyd membership cost guide and the nearest clubs, David Lloyd Woking and David Lloyd Reading.
Day Passes, Guest Passes and Trials
David Lloyd clubs do not usually sell walk-in day passes. The usual ways to try the club before joining are a guest visit with a member (Platinum memberships typically include guest passes), a trial or promotional pass when the club is running one, or a free tour. Ask the club directly, as offers change.
Opening Times, Classes and Swimming Timetable
Opening hours, the class timetable and pool times are published in the David Lloyd app and on the club’s page, and they change for school holidays, Christmas, Easter and bank holidays. Check there before travelling, particularly for lane swimming, family swim sessions and Blaze, which books up.
Active Members: What Happens If You Get Injured?
People who play tennis and padel, swim and train regularly are also the people most likely to need physiotherapy, a scan or a specialist at some point: an elbow from padel, a twisted knee on court, or a back that stops cooperating. The club’s own physio clinic can treat you, but if you need a scan or a consultant, the NHS often means waiting:
- Trauma and orthopaedics, which covers knee, shoulder and sports injuries, has England’s biggest waiting list, almost 860,000 people in October 2025 according to the King’s Fund. See NHS waiting times for operations.
- Knee problems such as meniscus and ligament tears usually mean physiotherapy, an MRI and a consultant before any surgery. See private knee MRI, meniscus surgery and ACL reconstruction; for racquet injuries, tennis elbow.
Private health insurance can cover physiotherapy, scans, specialist appointments and surgery for new injuries and conditions after you join, usually within days or weeks. Injuries or conditions you already have are usually excluded. See does health insurance cover physio?, private physiotherapy and pre-existing conditions.
Gym Discounts and Health Insurance
David Lloyd does not sell health insurance itself, and it is not a Vitality partner gym: it left Vitality’s list on 1 January 2022, and Vitality’s discounted clubs are now Virgin Active, Nuffield Health and PureGym. Aviva’s gym discount scheme, up to 25% for eligible policyholders, has included David Lloyd, and which clubs are included changes, so check with the insurer before joining. Our gym and health insurance rewards guide, health insurance with gym membership and Vitality gym discount guide explain what is currently on offer.
