We went to play tennis at his health club, David Lloyds. David Lloyds is one of the posher chains of health club and Southampton is perhaps their flagship club in the south coast and it shows. Coming in as a guest costs £15 for 2 hours of tennis and use of the facilities. It's certainly plush inside , perhaps summed up best by a trouser press and shoe sterilisers in the men's changing rooms. The indoor tennis courts had sensible overhead lighting and the surface played like a hard court. There were many coaching classes going on while we were playing and we tried to pick up a few free tips! I had forgotten to bring my swimming shorts with me but no problem - David Lloyds has a sports equipment shop as well as hairdressers and spa facilities available on-site. They have a nice 25m indoor pool as well as an outside pool, which is open all year round incidentally. I have to confess that I spent most of my time in the jacuzzi and sauna though. The restaurant and lounge was very nice and comfortable and we were able to catch some live sport on the TVs, courtesy of SkySports (39% owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewCorps but we forgave them that!) Nice health club if you can afford it.

I have been a member of David Lloyd for several years and have always been extremely happy with the…read moreservice, facilities and quality of the gym - although you do pay for it! I pay top-notch for a gym that has the latest equipment which is always clean and working - it has never disappointed me. The other facilities on-site such as the open air heated pools, indoor pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi facilities are always clean and working. My only criticism, if you can call it that, is that the place sometimes feels like a crèche so pick your times well to avoid the rush hour. Overall I am impressed with this place just a shame my bank balance takes a hit every month but it is worth it!

The pool is really stunning with experience showers and an aromatic sauna and steam room at poolside. The gym has all the latest Technogym equipment and although I don't use the spa treatments there are seven treatments rooms. I really can't see any reason you wouldn't join this superb club.
