David Lloyd Manchester North

I recently hired the Ivy Suite at David Lloyd Middleton for our Children’s Year 6 Prom. The entire experience from start to finish was smooth sailing. Karris Greenwood the Clubroom Supervisor was excellent, so friendly and made everything so easy! We had access to the room to set up as soon as the club doors opened, Karris kept in touch from booking and provided answers to all my questions. Parents and children had such an incredible time. The children were free to run around inside and outside and play safely due to the secure outdoor area. Karris and colleague also bartended and had smiles on their faces throughout. I’m wondering what event I can plan next just so we can have an excuse to do it all over again! The Ivy Suite will be my go to venue moving forward, could not fault anything. Thank you so much Karris for helping our children have the most memorable night.

Great experience from the start of signing up - Phoebe was very polite, informative and friendly whilst taking the time to give us a tour of the facilities before we joined, she was also great with communication via email with any questions we had prior to joining. Staff on entrance, exit and in the club room are really friendly and polite. Also would like to shout out to Daniel Jones, PT he’s really helping me build gym confidence, teaching me a lot about weight training and makes me feel really comfortable in every session! Thank you to everyone.

PARKING IS BECOMING IMPOSSIBLE! Every time have been to the in the last few months it has been a struggle to park. It seems to be getting worse. Last week me and my mum missed our class because we were just driving around waiting for someone to leave and didn’t make it in time. Today I arrived 15mins early to my pt session in anticipation of this but still almost didn’t make it in on time because of the parking. When I walked through reception there were several people complaining to the receptionist about this also. This was a Tuesday morning at 10.40am!!! Not peak time!!! And this is constant problem. On top of that the gym is just generally over crowded and uncomfortable. Looking at the other reviews here and speaking to other members at the club I think a lot of people are feeling fed up.

Today, 26Apr2026, was my first visit to David Lloyd Manchester North with my 8.5-year-old son. I’m glad I used a guest pass, as I definitely won’t be purchasing a membership for him. He was not allowed to use the jacuzzi, and the outdoor pool was quite cold. On top of that, the lifeguard was repeatedly taking children out of the pool and returning them to parents who were sitting around the pool area. This policy felt very strange — does it mean I am expected to stay in the water at all times for my child to be allowed to swim? My son is a confident swimmer (Stage 5), and I would prefer to relax on a sun lounger rather than sit in the pool the entire time. Eventually, he became bored in the small kids’ pool, and it was upsetting to watch him get frustrated and cry because he wasn’t allowed into the jacuzzi. We decided to leave early. The situation in the women’s changing room (family/kids area) was also very disappointing. Almost all the cubicles were broken except one, which was locked for at least 30 minutes. During that time, we managed to change and dry off, and it had already been locked before we arrived. Eventually, a cleaner came out of that cubicle. I don’t know what she was doing there for so long, but it appeared to be used more like a staff rest area than a customer changing space. What shocked me the most was what happened next: she took a white towel from the used towel bin and used her foot to push it along the floor, starting in the toilets and then continuing into the changing room. I was honestly shocked. I really hope towels are properly sanitised, otherwise this raises serious hygiene concerns. Overall, there seem to be a lot of strict rules for children, but perhaps more attention should be paid to staff standards and facility maintenance.
