Outside: the heated outdoor pool, which members use year-round.

Tennis, Padel and Racquets

Coaching runs for adults and juniors, and courts are booked in the David Lloyd app. Racquets are included on the Platinum tier only.
David Lloyd Milton Keynes Membership Costs
David Lloyd does not publish club-by-club prices online. What you pay depends on:
- Membership tier: Club (off-peak, gym and pool), Club Plus (anytime, no racquets, spa or Blaze) or Platinum (everything, including the Spa Garden, racquets, Blaze and selected other clubs).
- Individual, joint or family membership.
- Contract: 12-month standard or 3-month flexible.
- Joining fees and promotions, which vary through the year.
- 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 Cambridge and David Lloyd Oxford.
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 include a monthly guest pass), 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, New Year and bank holidays. Check there before travelling, particularly for lane swimming, family swim sessions, Reformer Pilates and Blaze, which book 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 serving, a twisted knee on court, or a back that stops cooperating. On the NHS, that 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. Locally, private MRI in Milton Keynes can be done within days.
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.
