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 West Bridgford

Facilities are as listed by David Lloyd 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 pool sizes, the squash or pickleball court counts, or an opening year for West Bridgford, and does not list a Saks salon, a car wash or car spa, massage, children’s parties or a whirlpool and waterfall on its pages, so ask the club about those.

The Spa Retreat, Spa Garden and the Two Pools

Swimming is year-round: a heated indoor pool for lanes, lessons and family swims and a heated outdoor pool that David Lloyd keeps open through the winter, the answer to “is there an outdoor pool at David Lloyd West Bridgford”. The spa is the club’s standout feature. The Spa Retreat and the outdoor Spa Garden have indoor and outdoor saunas, aromatherapy steam rooms, a plunge pool, a Himalayan salt sauna, heated beds and a hydropool, which is why it draws members from across Nottingham rather than just the NG2 postcode. David Lloyd’s pages do not describe a whirlpool or a waterfall feature here, so if that is what you remember from another club, check on a tour. Spa access is part of the Platinum membership rather than the entry tiers, and no treatment menu, massage service or Saks salon is listed for the club online.

Ten Tennis Courts, Padel, Badminton, Squash and Pickleball

West Bridgford is one of the biggest racquets clubs in the David Lloyd group: six indoor tennis courts, two outdoor courts and two more under a tennis dome, ten in all, on what David Lloyd describes as a range of premium surfaces, plus two indoor and two outdoor padel courts, three badminton courts, squash and pickleball. Coaching is by LTA-qualified and accredited coaches: Tennis Stars for 3 to 11-year-olds, weekly teen coaching for 11 to 18s mixing drills and match play, junior club and cardio tennis sessions and competitions, adult fast-track lessons, one-to-one and group coaching, box leagues, ladders, tournaments, LTA events and team tennis, weekly social tennis and padel match play, and a pickleball club. Courts and sessions are booked in the David Lloyd Clubs app, which is also the member login for the timetable. Racquets are included on the Platinum tier only.

David Lloyd West Bridgford Membership Costs

David Lloyd does not publish club-by-club prices online, which is why “how much is David Lloyd West Bridgford” never gets a straight answer from the club’s website, and why any site quoting an exact figure is guessing. What you pay depends on:

• Membership tier: Club (off-peak: weekday daytime access, gym and pools), Club Plus (anytime, no racquets, spa or Blaze) or Platinum (everything, including the spa, racquets, Blaze and selected other clubs, which at West Bridgford is the tier most tennis and spa members end up on).
• Individual, joint or family membership, with family membership covering children and giving access to DL Kids, the crèche and children’s lessons at extra cost; family membership prices are not published either.
• Contract: 12-month standard or the 3-month membership the club was promoting in October 2026.
• Joining fees and promotions, which vary through the year.
• Extras, such as the crèche, swimming lessons, tennis and padel coaching, spa treatments, physiotherapy 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 David Lloyd Derby, David Lloyd Leeds and Virgin Active Nottingham, the nearest club on insurer gym-discount lists.

Day Passes, 14-Day Passes and Registering Interest

David Lloyd clubs do not usually sell walk-in day passes, and the club page does not mention a 14-day pass. 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 a day trial pass for the pool 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

Directory listings give the club’s hours as 6am to 10.30pm on weekdays and 7am to 9.30pm at weekends, but David Lloyd’s own club page does not show hours, and they change for school holidays, Christmas, New Year, Easter, Good Friday and bank holidays. The current hours, the class timetable (Blaze, Battlebox, spin, yoga and Pilates), the kids’ and family timetables, pool and lane swimming times and busy periods are in the David Lloyd app and on the club’s page, so check there before travelling; the Clubroom menu is in the app too and changes seasonally. Jobs and vacancies are advertised on David Lloyd’s careers site rather than through reception, and member reviews and photos of the courts, pools and Spa Garden are on Google and the club’s own page.

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, Business Lounge and Physio

The club is run as a family club. There is a crèche for younger children, DL Kids classes, a Kids Club, children’s swimming lessons and junior tennis from age three, all at extra cost where lessons are involved; David Lloyd does not list children’s parties or soft play for West Bridgford on its pages, so ask the club. The Clubroom serves restaurant-quality food, coffee and drinks with a bar and app ordering, and the Business Lounge and designated workspace are set up for working from the club. Response Physiotherapy runs a clinic at the club, listed on the NHS website at the David Lloyd health club on Rugby Road, which is the answer to the “physio at David Lloyd West Bridgford” question; book with the clinic directly.

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, rotator cuff tear symptoms 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. Locally, The Park Hospital in Arnold, Spire Nottingham and Woodthorpe Hospital can usually see you within days, and private MRI in Nottingham, private ultrasound in Nottingham and private blood tests in Nottingham cover scans and tests.

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 locally means Virgin Active Nottingham. 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, and out-patient limits explained covers the part of a policy active members use most.
