David Lloyd Manchester North Membership Cost (2026): Prices, Facilities & Location Guide
Independent guide — not affiliated with David Lloyd Clubs Ltd in any way. Last reviewed: July 2026 | Written and reviewed by Anna John, Independent Fitness Membership Researcher
David Lloyd Manchester North sits on Heywood Old Road in Middleton, minutes from the M60 and M62 and a short drive from Heywood, Bury, and Rochdale. It’s easy to confuse with other David Lloyd clubs in the wider Manchester area — more on that below — so this guide starts by confirming exactly which club we mean before covering reported pricing, tennis and pool facilities, and whether it’s worth the cost.
Which David Lloyd Club Is “Manchester North”?
David Lloyd Manchester North is specifically the Middleton club on Heywood Old Road, M24 4TH — confirmed via David Lloyd’s own official listing, its LTA-registered tennis facility, and Swim England’s pool directory, all pointing to the same Middleton address. If you’ve seen a “Manchester North” guide elsewhere describing a club near Trafford City or the Trafford Centre, that’s a different David Lloyd location being mislabelled — worth double-checking the address before you enquire, since pricing and facilities genuinely differ by club.
How We Research Prices
David Lloyd doesn’t publish club-specific pricing on its own website — Manchester North’s exact rates, like every David Lloyd club, come only from a direct enquiry. The figures below reflect pricing reported by an independent source that correctly matched this club’s Middleton address, cross-checked against David Lloyd’s own published facility information for Manchester North. Always confirm the current rate directly with the club before joining.
Quick Answer: How Much Does David Lloyd Manchester North Cost?
Manchester North doesn’t publish a separate off-peak Club-tier rate — the £74/month Plus figure above is the entry-level tier for this specific club and shouldn’t be compared directly to the £75–£110 Club/off-peak range quoted for other clubs, which is a different, more restricted tier. Compared with the £75–£230 national range covered in our David Lloyd membership cost guide, Manchester North sits toward the lower-to-middle end — noticeably more affordable than premium city-centre clubs like David Lloyd Leeds.
| Tier | Standard (est.) | Flexible (est.) | Joining Fee (est.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | ~£75/month | ~£95/month | ~£120 |
| Platinum | ~£89/month | ~£109/month | ~£120 |
| Diamond | ~£194/month | ~£229/month | ~£150 |
| Add a Partner | ~£55/month | ~£89/month | ~£120 |
| Add Children (3–18 years) | ~£29/month | ~£49/month | ~£10 |
| Add Young Children (0–2 years) | ~£2/month | ~£2/month | — |

What’s Included at David Lloyd Manchester North
Tennis and Racquets
This is genuinely one of the stronger racquets setups in the David Lloyd network — 9 indoor tennis courts, 2 outdoor clay courts, and a tennis dome covering the outdoor courts from October to April so play continues through winter. Badminton and squash are also available, alongside short tennis for younger players and a multi-sports hall.
Swimming Pools
A 25m indoor pool and a 22m outdoor pool, both heated, with a dedicated paddling pool for children, an outdoor terrace, and — a nice touch not every club has — an outdoor pool bar for warmer months.
Gym
An open-plan gym floor with 24 treadmills, cross trainers, Wattbikes, rowing machines, a dedicated free weights area, TRX suspension training, and a Synrgy functional training zone. The Body Hub offers free body-composition analysis (hydration, muscle mass, and ‘BioAge’) that syncs with the David Lloyd Clubs app.
Spa
Sauna, steam room, and whirlpool, aimed at post-workout recovery rather than a full spa retreat experience.
