David Lloyd Leisure

I am ashamed to admit just how unfit I am and almost allergic to any kind of exercise. It took some persuasion for me to go to David Llyod gym in Solihull, which altered my perspective of gymnasiums.
It’s a huge gym with great facilities and ample equipment to accommodate all users during peak times. It is well maintained and clean.
Like I said, I don’t exercise much. However I went with my sister who is a fitness freak and made the silly mistake of trying to keep up with her… I felt as though I was blacking out so went to the changing rooms where I eventually fainted. I woke up with two staff members next to me who offered me a drink, a comfortable room to rest and called for my sister. I was embarrassed beyond belief but they were so helpful that I felt the need to write this review. You’re guaranteed superb service at this gym!

Holy cow, what an amazing gym! This place is the Mother Lode of fitness, an absolutely enormous space with a plentitude of fit and healthy things to eat, do and see.
The racquetball/​squash courts (of which there are five!) are of varying sizes, designed for pairs or singles. The tennis court area (indoors) is extremely large, with 6 courts and two small practice areas.
The pool is really pretty, very nice, with gorgeous deckchairs all around, a lifeguard on staff, and pretty blue and white tiles.
There is also an outdoor pool for the warm weather (or stiff of loin and strong of heart), with a small kiddie pool and a larger pool.
Both pools have a section for mucking about, and a roped off area for swimming laps. There is a lifeguard outside too.
Then there are the jacuzzis (two of them), three steam rooms and a similar number of saunas.
There are masseurs on staff all the time, and a sports therapist you can see for deeper injuries/​problems.
The restaurant serves a full compliment of food, from traditional English pub grub to posh sandwiches, breakfast, and plenty of healthy options.
Unfortunately, the food is crap. This stuff is bad, frozen, pre-​cooked stuff that comes out cold. Twice eating here, and the last time was definitely my last. It takes about 30 minutes once the food is ordered for it to come out, which is horrendous for a place with five visible staff members in the restaurant, and only 10 covers. It must have been sitting on the side for about ten minutes, getting cold and soggy. So totally disappointing. But I guess if you’re in need, it’ll have to do!
The staff at this DL are really really nice, helpful, polished and professional.
This is a tremendous gym, with lots of sexy, fit people, and you should go there to get the same, if you aren’t already.

Really really great health club with everything you could ask for. Pool check, sauna check, massive gym check, lots of people sweating their backsides off check! As HairyC says it is expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. One thing to be weary of is that the tennis courts and squash courts get booked up very fast. They almost always wave the joining fee so make sure you ask if the good looking girl that shows you around doesn’t do it automatically.

This is really lovely health club (I’ve given it 4 stars instead of 5, because it’s expensive)
There are a couple of lovely swimming pools, tennis courts, squash courts and a very well stocked gym with lots of staff on hand. There is also a kids club but that tends to be a bit of a joke with bored teenagers looking after the kids.
Nice café/​bar
