David Lloyd Rugby Membership Prices (2026): Prices & Facilities

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 Rugby is named after the town it’s in — Rugby, Warwickshire — not the sport. Before anything else, that’s worth clearing up, because it’s a genuine, widespread error we found repeated across several other guides. This is a standard David Lloyd health club within the new Houlton development, with tennis, padel, and a full spa, and no rugby pitches or rugby coaching of any kind.

Quick Answer

David Lloyd Rugby membership is reported at roughly £80–£150/month depending on access level and tier, with Platinum specifically reported around £149.95/month, and family memberships around £250/month. Joining fees are reported at £50–£130. That sits within the £75–£230 national range covered in our David Lloyd membership cost guide. This is a standard health club — the name comes from the town of Rugby, not the sport.

A Correction: This Isn’t a Rugby Sports Club

Several other guides describe David Lloyd Rugby as though it were built around the sport of rugby — mentioning “rugby fields,” “rugby coaching for kids,” and “elevating your rugby game” as part of the membership. This appears to be a genuine mix-up between the club’s name and the sport it happens to share a name with. David Lloyd Rugby is a standard David Lloyd health club — gym, pools, spa, tennis, and padel — located in the town of Rugby, Warwickshire. There are no rugby pitches, rugby coaching programmes, or any rugby-specific facilities here at all. If you were specifically looking for a club that offers rugby training, this isn’t it — you’d want a dedicated rugby club or sports centre instead.

About David Lloyd Rugby Club

David Lloyd Rugby is one of the newer clubs in the network, opened on 29 September 2023 as part of the Houlton development in Clifton upon Dunsmore. David Lloyd’s own press coverage of the launch confirms General Manager Jack Phillips spoke at the opening event, attended by local councillor Luke Russell and members of the Houlton community, alongside guided tours and food from Change Please — a genuine social enterprise coffee partner of David Lloyd’s, where proceeds support people experiencing homelessness with living-wage jobs, housing, and training.

Is David Lloyd Rugby Worth It?

Likely worth it if:

  • You want a genuinely new-build club with modern facilities, being one of the more recently opened sites in the network
  • You’ll use the tennis, padel, spa, and pools regularly, which is where Platinum’s premium over standard access is best justified
  • You have children who’ll use the Kids Club and crèche

Probably not worth it if:

  • You mainly want gym-floor access — a budget gym nearby will cost a fraction of the price
  • You specifically wanted rugby training or facilities — this club doesn’t offer any, despite what some other guides suggest
