David Lloyd Junior Membership Price (2026): Age Bands, Cost & What’s Included

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 junior membership is structured by age rather than sold as one flat price — costs range from around £2 a month for a crèche-only infant add-on up to nearly £40 a month for older teenagers with fuller facility access. This guide breaks down exactly what each age band costs and includes, covers a genuinely underused nanny membership option, and corrects a couple of claims circulating elsewhere that don’t hold up against David Lloyd’s own published terms.

Quick Answer | David Lloyd Junior Membership

David Lloyd junior membership is priced by age, not as a single fixed rate: reported costs run from around £2–£8.50/month for infants (3 months–2 years, crèche access only) up to £34.75–£39.80/month for teenagers aged 14–18, who get fuller facility access including gym induction and racquet sports. Junior members must be linked to an adult’s membership account — there’s no standalone junior-only membership sold independently of a parent or guardian’s plan.

What Each Age Band Actually Includes

David Lloyd structures junior access by developmental stage rather than giving every child the same facilities:

  • 3 months–5 years: Crèche and DL Kids Club access only, and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian member at all times.
  • 6–11 years: Limited, induction-based gym access, plus full access to kids’ clubs, swimming, and classes.
  • 12–15 years (Teen): Expanded gym access, group classes, swimming, and racquet sports, generally requiring parental consent.
  • 16–17 years (Young Adult range): Facility access broadly similar to an adult member, excluding alcohol-serving areas of the club.

Swimming lessons in particular start from a very young age — as early as 3 months old for baby swimming sessions at many clubs — while tennis and other racquet sports coaching typically becomes available from around age 3 upwards through junior-specific programmes.

The Nanny Membership Most Guides Miss

This is a genuinely useful, under-covered option: David Lloyd’s own membership terms confirm that children or a nanny linked to your membership carry the same access rights as the main member. In practice, this means if a nanny or childminder regularly brings your children to the club independently of a parent, a nanny membership — reported at roughly £30.50/month Standard or £36.50/month Flexible, around £330 for the year — can be significantly cheaper than putting the carer on a full adult membership, while still giving them the access needed to supervise your children on-site. If this applies to your household, it’s worth asking your club specifically, since it’s not something every guide covers, or something clubs always volunteer unprompted.

David Lloyd Junior Membership Joining Fees

Reported junior joining fees run to around £10 at most clubs — notably lower than the £60–£160 joining fee range typically reported for adult memberships. As with all David Lloyd joining fees, ask about current promotions, since these are frequently reduced or waived during seasonal offers.

How Junior Membership Fits Into a Family Membership

Junior membership isn’t sold as a standalone product — children must be linked to an adult member’s account, with parental or guardian consent required for anyone under 18. If you’re comparing the cost of adding one or more children against a full family membership structure, our dedicated David Lloyd family membership cost guide covers the combined maths in more detail, including how per-child costs stack up against various household structures.

FAQs

It depends on age: reported pricing runs from around £2–£8.50/month for infants up to £34.75–£39.80/month for teenagers, since junior membership is structured by age band rather than a single flat rate.

No — junior members must be linked to an adult member’s account, with parental or guardian consent required for anyone under 18.

Yes — confirmed via David Lloyd’s own membership terms. It’s reported at roughly £30.50/month Standard or £36.50/month Flexible, useful if a nanny or childminder regularly brings your children to the club independently.

Limited, induction-based gym access is generally available from around age 6, with fuller access opening up in the young teen years and access broadly similar to an adult from around 16–17.

Not that we could confirm against David Lloyd’s own terms. What’s genuinely confirmed is free companion or assistant access for members who need help using the facilities — a different, narrower provision than a separate discounted membership tier.

Final Thoughts

David Lloyd junior membership is genuinely well-structured around age and developmental stage rather than being a one-size-fits-all add-on, and the nanny membership option in particular is worth knowing about if it applies to your household. Be cautious of the “discounted disabled membership” claim circulating on several other guides — the confirmed provision is free companion access, not a separate priced tier.
