Update Mar 2024. Treadmill from last month still broken. Both hottubs in the ?spa area? lukewarm at best? regularly updated that this will be fixed shortly, with no repair work carried out for at least two weeks.No staff on gym floor anymore. Have notice a decline in this area since the pandemic, but now becoming a problem with groups of teenagers sat around on gym equipment together, without exercising, just on social media.Will aim to update next month - HOPEFULLY - with any sort of improvement story? to be continuedOh, and problems finding car parking still(If any management would like a photo e-mailed of the groups of kids sitting around on the gym floor, please let me know)Update Feb 2024. Too busy - car park regularly max capacityTreadmill has been broken for months - doing nothing evident to fix broken equipmentLate 2023. David Lloyd Gyms used to be great. Since about the start of the lockdowns, things appear to have changed.Changing rooms are dirty, with towels left/no longer being frequently collected. Foot wrappers/sports drink bottles on the floor, left out on the side.In the showers, I can?t remember the last time there was any body wash/soap in the dispensers.Going through into the spa area, there are broken tiles/tiles missing, throughout the generally area, and even into the steamroom.One of the two hot tubs was out of service (although having just been ?redone?) the indoor hot-tub although on, was cold, and more and more regular occurrence.One of the hotbeds is broken, and un operational, the other two are so low heat, they may as well not work.The gym upstairs is good, and staff are all friendly and polite, so that?s something. Not trying to bash too hard - but finding it quite difficult to justify the cost of the membership currently

Actually a well presented club, quite clean, friendly if very very young staff. Be careful if you have an off peak membership and arrive five minutes late - you?ll be lectured by a wet 18 year old who may or may not let you enter. Management way over staffed, no idea who to deal with. The very lovely Aisling being an exception.Never seen so many children in a gym restaurant, more of a mother?s social club.Unusually for a review it?s not the establishment that is so bad, it?s the members. Literally the most unfriendly cliquey group I?ve ever come across - creating an unwelcoming atmosphere throughout. Must be a small minded Newbury thing I guess..I literally couldn?t wait to leave this place every time I worked out.

As a PT of over 25 years and a Gym Management Consultant for the last 10, it is amazing that such a "premium" club can get it so wrong.The club is now nearing 9 years old and my goodness it looks like it. Everything is pretty much left to rack and ruin, the maintenance on the place is shocking. Yes, for such a big club there will be inevitable breakdowns, but they take an eternity to be fixed, many items just left broken, or we get the same breakdown of the same thing month in month out.Money is wasted on such things as a Blaze Studio when the gym was in desperate need of updating, repair, redecorating and an air con system fit for purpose.We have all had price increases this year which is fair enough but you have to see something for your money.The spa costs extra and it's a joke. Hot tub is often a cold tub. Hot showers is a lottery. The spa is not a relaxing place to go as screaming kids and the shouting aqua classes can be heard as clear as day.Also the app for booking classes and courts is not fit for purpose.If it wasn't for the tennis section and coaching staff I would have left a long time ago.The DL Management need to actually have a wander around the facility and actually take note of what's not working or what needs repair rather than constant staff appraisal / chats and Head Office box ticking. The majority of the staff are fantastic, it's management and the bean counters who need reassessment as they just walk around with their heads in the sand and if you complain or bring anything to their attention they just brush you off.DL Newbury is at full capacity so there really is no excuse not to reinvest into the facility. Holes in walls, kit falling apart, cold showers & hot tubs, ripped and torn seats, poor air con, an unrelaxing spa and more sure doesn't make this worth my £119 per month.

Unfortunately DL Newbury has deteriorated. Such a shame, particularly considering that the fees have increased significantly. Have been a member for several years, but the quality and upkeep of the club has gone downhill. It?s also too busy and the parking is a nightmare. Have decided it?s time to cancel my membership as it?s no longer worth it.

Really enjoy going to this DL club and glad I made the change from my other gym - so worth it. Staff are really friendly, PT trainers always really helpful around the gym (Jake) Impressed with the gym classes available and time slots. A well rounded club!
