The new-look David Lloyd gym in Cricklewood Lane has welcomed new members upon reopening last week.

Management at the high-end chain say the impending introduction of a spa and swimming pool as well as a greater offering for families will make it the “best in the area”.

Phase 2 of the refurbishment will complete in the summer and will see the reopening of the indoor heated swimming pool. Phase 3 will complete in autumn 2022 and will include the opening of a luxury spa retreat.

General manager Jo Miller said: “Community sits at the heart of David Lloyd Clubs, and we’re delighted to be open and welcoming our very first members to David Lloyd Cricklewood Lane.

“We believe they will be blown away by the state-of-the-art gym and superb group exercise facilities.

"But this is just the beginning - the next phases will see the opening of a full range of premium spa and family facilities, as well as our new brand Clubroom which we believe will make this club the best in the area.”
