David lloyd membership fee increase

[goodfella7777]

Looking for some guidance and suggestions

So David Lloyds Clubs have decided to increase my membership fees from 149 to 164, six months into a 12 month contract.

Apparently they have sent out emails to all members regarding the increase.

For one, I didnt receive that email, but importantly can they unilaterally increase the fees midway through a 12 month contract?

Has anyone else had a similar increase? Is there anyway i can fight it ? or just suck it up

thanks

What does it say about fee increases in the contract you signed?

[alscar]

Only had a quick look but under either article 15 or 18 of their contract they appear to be able to increase fees a la phone providers.
They offer you the right to cancel if not happy and say they will try to give you a months notice of the increase.
As with phone providers I imagine worth a call to see if they are prepared to negotiate.

How many times a week do you go? Is 15 quid a month really a massive difference when you are paying quite a lot already?

10% seems pretty cheap when everyone else is filling their boots with 13% plus inflationary increases!

But yes your contract will have the answer, some will let you get out of it, others won't I guess.

Blimey that is expensive - works out at £5 a day for a year. My gym is £23 a month or 76p a day!

Why don't they quote their membership fees on the website?

So you have to speak to someone

My DL monthly fee has just gone up to £225.25pcm. No racket sports in that.

Which is too much.

A colleague, who likes to let everyone know, how much he spends on things, is a David Lloyd member, all he does is moan about it; A/C not working, equipment is tired, pool is cold, school holidays are full of unruly kids etc etc, haven't a clue why he's still a member.... oh yes I do, it's something to boast about!

I pay 21 quid to go to puregym, used to go to decent ones but started getting ridiculous prices, 50,75,125,150 a month.

If you use 15 quid a month is nothing, if you just go to sit in the coffee lounge then it probably isn't worth it.

What on earth are they providing that justifies that sort of fee?

Is that a special membership that guarantees a treadmill next to a full length window?!

For 225 it won’t be a single membership, either a couple or family.

I should add, I met me wife at a David Lloyd circa 28 years ago.
Still working out if I’m thankful or not

It just seems bonkers but whatever floats your boat I guess.

Crikey that's a lot!!
My David Lloyd membership (all including the tennis and squash) went up from £58/month to £63.
Still a decent whack of an increase in percentage terms but surprisingly good value for the facilities.
