David Lloyd Solihull (Cranmore) 2026: Membership Cost, Pools, Spa, Tennis and Padel

David Lloyd Solihull, listed by David Lloyd as Solihull Cranmore and in older listings as Solihull Fitness, is the group’s club on Cranmore Boulevard in Shirley, a couple of minutes from junction 4 of the M42. It has a 25m heated indoor pool and a 20m heated outdoor pool, a spa with saunas, steam room, whirlpool and plunge pool, indoor and outdoor tennis, padel, squash, badminton and pickleball, Blaze, a crèche, a Clubroom with a terrace and free parking. This guide covers how membership pricing works, every facility, opening times and passes, the three-names confusion, and the thing active members often forget to sort: fast treatment if they get injured.

Injured on Court or in the Gym? Be Seen in Days, Not Months

Health insurance can cover physio, scans and specialist treatment for new injuries, so a bad knee or shoulder doesn’t mean an NHS waiting list. Existing conditions are usually excluded. Compare the UK’s leading insurers, priced for your age. Free.

Facilities at David Lloyd Solihull

Facilities are as listed by David Lloyd and the LTA’s Solihull tennis directory in October 2026. Some areas, such as the spa, racquets and Blaze, depend on your membership tier; the crèche, lessons, coaching and personal training are paid for separately. David Lloyd does not publish the number of tennis or padel courts for the club, and does not list soft play.

Solihull, Solihull Fitness or Solihull Cranmore? One Club, Three Names

Most of the confusion in searches for David Lloyd Solihull comes from the names. Google and older listings show David Lloyd Solihull, David Lloyd Solihull Fitness and David Lloyd Solihull Cranmore, some pins add Monkspath, the business area that Cranmore Boulevard runs through, and all of them are the same building at 247 Cranmore Boulevard. David Lloyd’s own site now uses Solihull Cranmore, and its older Solihull and Solihull Fitness web addresses resolve to the same club page. There is one David Lloyd club in Solihull, and despite the occasional “closing down” search, nothing published says so: the club’s timetables, coaching programmes and a 3-month membership offer were all live in October 2026. The nearest other David Lloyd clubs are in Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, covered in our membership cost guide.

The Spa, Indoor Pool and Outdoor Pool

Swimming is year-round: a 25m heated indoor pool for lanes, lessons and aqua classes and a 20m heated outdoor pool that is the club’s summer draw, with adult and children’s lessons in both. The spa has separate male and female saunas, a bespoke aromatherapy steam room, an indoor whirlpool and a plunge pool. Spa access is part of the Platinum membership rather than the entry tiers, and David Lloyd does not publish a treatment menu for the club online, so ask for the current spa menu on a tour.

Tennis, Padel, Squash and Pickleball

Racquets are what set this club apart from a standard gym. David Lloyd lists indoor and outdoor tennis courts, new dedicated padel courts, squash and racketball courts, badminton and pickleball club sessions, though it does not publish how many of each. Coaching is by LTA-qualified coaches: Tennis Stars for 3 to 11-year-olds, weekly junior group coaching for 11 to 18s with club and cardio sessions and competitions, adult fast-track lessons, one-to-one and group coaching, box leagues, ladders, tournaments, LTA events and team tennis, and social tennis and padel with weekly match play; the LTA lists the club in its Solihull where-to-play directory. Courts and sessions are booked in the David Lloyd Clubs app. Racquets are included on the Platinum tier only.

David Lloyd Solihull Membership Costs

David Lloyd does not publish club-by-club prices online, which is why “how much is David Lloyd Solihull” never gets a straight answer from the club’s website. 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, racquets, Blaze and selected other clubs). When people ask what “plans” the club has, this is the choice.
• Individual, joint or family membership, with family membership covering children and giving access to the Kids Club, the crèche and children’s lessons at extra cost; single membership is the individual price for the tier you choose.
• Contract: 12-month standard or 3-month flexible, which the club was promoting in October 2026.
• Joining fees and promotions, which vary through the year, and whether you can pause membership, which depends on the contract terms you sign.
• Extras, such as the crèche, 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, which collects the monthly ranges members report by tier, and with Virgin Active Solihull and Nuffield Health Birmingham Central, the two nearest clubs on insurer gym-discount lists.

Day Passes, 14-Day 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, which is what searches for a 14-day pass or an open day usually turn up, or a free tour, which is also how you register interest and get a written price. Ask the club directly, as offers change.

Opening Times, Classes and Swimming Timetable

Local directory listings give the club’s hours as 6am to 10.30pm on weekdays and 7am to 9pm at weekends, but David Lloyd’s own club page does not show hours, and they change for school holidays, Christmas, New Year, Easter and bank holidays. The current hours, the class timetable, pool times and busy periods are in the David Lloyd app and on the club’s page, so check there before travelling, particularly for lane swimming, aqua aerobics, Blaze and indoor cycling, which book up. The Clubroom menu is also in the app and changes seasonally.

Tennis Elbow, Sore Knee, Stiff Back? Skip the Physio Queue

Many policies include physiotherapy and outpatient scans for new injuries, and some discount partner gym memberships. Existing conditions are usually excluded. See what cover costs for you in two minutes. Free, no obligation.

Kids, Crèche, Clubroom and Business Hub

The club is run as a family club. There is a crèche for younger children, a Kids Club with classes covering sports, arts and crafts, children’s swimming lessons and junior tennis from age three, all at extra cost. The Clubroom serves coffee, snacks and restaurant-style meals with a terrace for the summer, and members can order through the app; the Business Hub is set up for working from the club. Jobs and vacancies at the club are advertised on David Lloyd’s careers site rather than through reception, and member reviews and photos of the pools, courts and Clubroom are on Google and the club’s own page.

Active Members: What Happens If You Get Injured?

People who play tennis, padel and squash, 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 the padel court, a shoulder that will not lift, 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: 829,590 open pathways in June 2026, with only 60.9% seen within 18 weeks, according to NHS England. See NHS waiting times for operations and NHS waits for rotator cuff surgery.
• 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 and rotator cuff repair.

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 sports injuries?, does health insurance cover physio?, private physiotherapy, physiotherapy costs and pre-existing conditions. The club does not list a physiotherapy clinic on site; locally, Spire Parkway in Solihull, the Priory Hospital in Edgbaston and Nuffield Health Birmingham can usually see you within days, and private MRI in Birmingham and private ultrasound in Birmingham cover scans.

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, which in Solihull means Virgin Active Solihull. 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.
