Independent guide — not affiliated with David Lloyd Clubs Ltd in any way. Written and reviewed by Anna John, Independent Fitness Membership Researcher
Eleven million pounds transformed a single Shrewsbury site into one of the club’s most ambitious builds outside London. That investment now shapes every price on the David Lloyd Shrewsbury membership list, from courts once graced by touring pros to a redesigned spa and pool complex. Behind the numbers sits a genuine sporting pedigree, tennis history that still influences how the club prices its premium tiers. This guide breaks down current membership costs, what each tier unlocks, and how the site’s tennis legacy factors into value for anyone comparing options across Shropshire’s fitness market.
Quick Answer
David Lloyd Shrewsbury membership is reported to start from around £75/month for off-peak Club access, rising to roughly £130/month for Platinum, including spa and racquets. That sits toward the lower-to-middle end of the £75–£230 national range covered in our David Lloyd membership cost guide. A joining fee of around £125 is reported, sometimes waived during promotions.

The £11 Million David Lloyd Shrewsbury Transformation
Unlike some claims we’ve had to correct on other club pages, this one genuinely checks out. Local news coverage from the Shropshire Star, ShropshireLive, and Retail & Leisure International all independently confirm an £11 million, 12-month transformation of the former Shrewsbury Club site, officially launched on 10 April 2026. The Mayor of Shrewsbury, Cllr Alex Wagner, cut the ribbon at the opening event alongside club members, councillors, and local business leaders, and General Manager Alvin Ward spoke at the launch about showcasing the new facilities to the Shropshire community.
Tennis Venue at David Lloyd Shrewsbury club
This is the detail that genuinely sets Shrewsbury apart from most other David Lloyd clubs: the Sundorne Road site has hosted professional tennis tournaments since 2008, including the Lexus W100 — the biggest women’s tennis tournament played in the UK outside the grass-court season. The 2025 final saw Sonay Kartal beat Heather Watson in an all-British final in front of a capacity crowd of 650. During the club’s refurbishment, the tournament temporarily relocated to Wrexham, with organisers explicitly citing David Lloyd’s investment in the Shrewsbury site as the reason. If you’re a serious tennis player, this isn’t just another club with courts — it’s a venue with genuine competitive tennis pedigree.

What facilities are available at David Lloyd Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury features a modern gym, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis and padel courts, a luxury spa, and family facilities.
Tennis and Padel
Indoor tennis courts refurbished with world-class surfacing, plus two new outdoor tennis courts and three dedicated outdoor padel courts — all confirmed directly on David Lloyd’s own site. Coaching runs from Tennis Stars for ages 3–11 through to weekly group coaching for 11–18 year olds, with a full adult coaching programme and a genuinely active competitive tennis community given the venue’s tournament history.
Swimming Pools
A heated indoor pool with a kids’ splash pool, plus a 25m heated outdoor pool — both confirmed as part of the £11m transformation.
Spa Retreat and Spa Garden
A genuinely elaborate spa offering confirmed via local press coverage of the launch: Himalayan salt sauna, a rainforest-experience shower, crystal steam room, ice cave, plunge pool, and hydrotherapy pool, plus an outdoor Spa Garden with relaxation loungers.
Gym and Classes
A 100+ station gym floor, with boutique exercise studios hosting David Lloyd’s exclusive Signature Classes Collection across more than 100 classes a week.
Family and Work
DL Kids classes for children, plus a designated business lounge and workspace for members wanting to combine a visit with remote work.
What Real Reviews Say
Aggregated member feedback is genuinely mixed rather than uniformly glowing, which is worth knowing before you commit.
Positive themes include praise for the range of sports on offer — tennis coaching and swimming in particular — friendly staff, and a generally clean, modern presentation post-refurbishment.
Recurring criticisms include car park overcrowding at busy times, inconsistent cleanliness in showers and pool areas, difficulty booking classes and courts during peak demand, and frustration among some existing members about renewal price increases.
Given the club only recently completed a major transformation, some of these growing pains — particularly booking demand — may ease as the initial surge in interest settles.
Is David Lloyd Shrewsbury Worth It?
Shrewsbury is worth the cost if you actively utilize the luxury spa, indoor and outdoor pools, racquet sports, and social or family facilities. However, it is overpriced if you only intend to use standard cardio and weight-training equipment.
