David Lloyd Woking: Real Costs & the New Outdoor Pool (2026)
The honest guide to David Lloyd Woking on Westfield Avenue, Old Woking — west Surrey’s racquets flagship, with twelve tennis courts, heated indoor and outdoor pools, and the Spa Retreat with its outdoor Spa Garden. What membership actually costs (David Lloyd won’t tell you online — we’ll tell you what’s reported), the family side, and how to try the club properly before committing.
Quick Answer
David Lloyd Woking sits on Westfield Avenue in Old Woking (GU22 9PF), south of the town centre — and reported membership figures across comparable DL clubs run around £110–£180 a month for individuals, with Platinum multi-club tiers toward £240. Exact pricing is quoted by the club and depends on tier, who’s covered and contract length.
What the money buys: heated indoor and outdoor pools (the outdoor pool is the club’s newest addition), the Spa Retreat and outdoor Spa Garden — sauna, steam, whirlpool, adults-only — a serious gym with Reformer Pilates, twelve tennis courts (eight indoor), kids’ programmes with a creche and on-site nursery, and the Clubroom. No casual day passes — a free tour or the 14-day trial is the way in.

Membership Cost — Reported Figures & How Tiers Work
David Lloyd doesn’t publish prices — every membership is quoted by the club — so here’s the honest calibration: reported figures across comparable DL clubs put individual memberships around £110–£180 a month, with the Platinum tier (access across the full UK and European network) reported toward £240. The dials that move your quote: tier (Club, Plus, Platinum), who’s covered (individual, joint, family — and Woking is emphatically a family club), contract length, and whatever joining promotion is running. How Woking’s pricing sits against the chain — and the questions worth asking in the sales conversation — is in our David Lloyd membership cost guide, with nearby comparisons at Epsom, Cheam and Reading if you’re weighing which club to call home.
The Pools & the New Outdoor Addition
The wet side got the club’s biggest recent investment: a heated outdoor pool now sits alongside the indoor pool — the addition members lobbied for, built where a tennis court once stood — with adult and children’s coaching, aqua classes, and family and lane sessions across both. Outdoor swimming at a members’ club remains a rarity in west Surrey, and paired with the Spa Garden it turns the club’s outdoor space into the selling point rather than the afterthought. Swimming timetables move seasonally, so the current version lives with the club.
The Spa Retreat, Spa Garden — and the Amida Question
The spa runs as the Spa Retreat with an outdoor Spa Garden — sauna, steam room and whirlpool, with the outdoor jacuzzi locals search for part of the garden side. Two honest notes worth knowing before a family joins: the Spa Retreat operates as an adults-only space, so younger members use the pools rather than the spa; and the searches for the “Amida spa” reflect the club’s earlier branding — today it’s all the Spa Retreat, included in membership rather than a separate ticket, which is the answer that question is really asking.
Tennis: the Twelve-Court Racquets Flagship
This is the club’s signature and the reason many members join: twelve tennis courts — eight indoor, four outdoor — which means genuinely all-weather, year-round play, a rarity even among premium clubs. Around the courts sits a full programme: coaching from age five, free four-week beginner and refresher courses, social tennis, ladders, leagues and club competitions. If your membership maths is really tennis-club maths, twelve courts with indoor dominance beats most traditional Surrey clubs on winter access alone. One honest note: the racquets programme centres on tennis — anyone hunting squash specifically should confirm current court provision with the club.
Gym, Classes & Reformer Pilates
The gym floor runs premium kit across cardio, functional zones and free weights, with studios carrying a packed class timetable — including Reformer Pilates, the boutique-studio class DL has been rolling out across its estate and Woking runs on dedicated equipment. Group cycling, yoga and personal training round out the programme; as ever, the current timetable lives with the club, and touring at your actual training hour is the way to judge the 6pm reality.
The Family Side: Kids, Creche & Nursery
Woking is built for households: kids’ classes for ages 3–11, swimming and tennis coaching in their own right, a creche so parents can actually train, an on-site day nursery, holiday clubs through school breaks and birthday parties that make full use of the pools. Add the Clubroom café-bar for the post-swim debrief and the club functions as the neighbourhood’s third place — which is precisely what the premium buys.
Trying Before Joining (the Day-Pass Answer)
The honest answer: David Lloyd doesn’t sell casual day passes — the routes in are a free, no-obligation guided tour and trial passes (typically 14 days) that let you live with the club first. Use a trial properly: swim both pools, book a court, test the creche if it’s the deciding factor, and train at your real after-work hour. Two weeks of reality beats any sales tour — and a £1,500+ annual decision deserves it.
Location, Parking & the Woking Health Picture
The club sits on Westfield Avenue, Old Woking, GU22 9PF — south of the centre, with on-site parking and Woking station a few minutes away by car, serving Woking, Old Woking, Guildford, Byfleet, Send and the wider west Surrey patch. Opening hours vary (Christmas especially), so check current times with the club.
Membership, injuries and Woking’s wider health picture
A club like this is one half of a health strategy; the other half is what happens when something goes wrong. Health insurance moves new injuries to private speed: sports injuries are generally covered as new conditions, private physio books in days, and Woking is unusually well served locally — Nuffield Health Woking Hospital is minutes away, the wider scene is mapped in private hospitals in Woking, and Surrey’s private GPs and MRI options complete the picture. Several insurers offer gym benefits too — compared in our rewards guide. The boundary as ever: cover applies to new conditions, not pre-existing ones.
