David Lloyd Leisure

Friendly hardworking staff.
Clean, loads of equipment, several stations for more popular equipment (running machines, bikes, cross trainers) so you never have to wait.
Large free weights areas for the serious guys who spend too much time looking in the mirror.
Large pool + sauna + steam room + hot tub for relaxing afterwards.
All classes except tennis are free once you stump up the membership fee and are fun.
Some cliquey clientel, but EVENTUALLY they will talk to you.
Can take ages to fix broken equipment.
Adequate car parking. Busiest around 6pm, so avoid at that time if possible.

David Lloyd is and excellent fitness club with state of the art facilities. The machines are all modern and they keep the place very clean, which is more than can be said for other establishments around the city. The location may be difficult for some because it is a mile or so out of town, but as I work next door, its perfect for me, and to be fair it is just off the ring-​road. The restaruant/​bar is excellent, however there are few healthy options on the menu. My only gripe would be that they favour tennis instead of squash, but of course, This is based on a personal preferance, and other members may disagree.

David Lloyd provide what is probably the best gym experience in oxford. However, their location slightly outside the city centre means that you do need a car for access. If you have both the money and the means to access the club, it’s facilities are second to none, with a large swimming pool, well equipped gym and excellent restaraunt.
