David Lloyd Wickwoods Membership Cost (2026): Prices, Facilities & Is the Adults-Only Club Worth It?
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 Wickwoods is one of the more unusual clubs in the network — an adults-only health club set in 22 acres of Sussex woodland near Albourne and Hassocks, built around a Spa Garden, a dedicated Reformer Pilates studio, and match-quality tennis and padel courts. If you’re weighing it up, this guide covers what’s confirmed, reported pricing, and who it genuinely suits.
How We Research Prices
David Lloyd doesn’t publish club-specific pricing on its own site — Wickwoods, like every David Lloyd club, only gives exact rates via direct enquiry. The pricing below reflects what’s been reported by an independent source; facility details have been cross-checked against David Lloyd’s own official Wickwoods page, which is also where the adults-only policy is confirmed directly.
What Makes Wickwoods Different From Most David Lloyd Clubs
Unlike family-focused clubs such as David Lloyd Edinburgh Shawfair or David Lloyd Leeds, Wickwoods is confirmed by David Lloyd as an adults-only health club — there’s no crèche, no kids’ club, and no family swim sessions here. The trade-off is a genuinely quieter, more spa-and-recovery-focused atmosphere, built around a Spa Garden, a dedicated Reformer Pilates studio, and boutique-style rooms for members wanting to stay over. If you’re specifically searching for family facilities, this isn’t the club for that — but if an adults-only environment is exactly what you want, it’s one of relatively few David Lloyd sites built around that idea.
Quick Answer: How Much Does David Lloyd Wickwoods Cost?
Reported pricing puts Club (off-peak) membership at roughly £77–£100/month, Plus at around £110–£140/month, and Platinum — which includes full access to the Spa Garden and racquet sports — at approximately £150–£170/month. That sits within the £75–£230 national range covered in our David Lloyd membership cost guide, toward the middle rather than the premium end.
| Tier | Reported Monthly Cost | Access |
|---|---|---|

| Plus | ~£110–£140 | Full-hours access to the gym and swimming pool; excludes racquet sports and premium spa areas. |
| Platinum | ~£150–£170 | Complete club access including racquet sports, the Spa Garden, and Blaze fitness classes. |

Facilities at David Lloyd Wickwoods
Gym
A modern gym floor with an Intuitive Strength Circuit offering guided workouts for different experience levels, alongside standard cardio, free weights, and functional training equipment.
Swimming Pools
A 14m heated indoor pool with woodland views, plus a heated outdoor pool within the Spa Garden — smaller in scale than some of David Lloyd’s larger family clubs, in keeping with Wickwoods’ more intimate, adults-only feel.
Spa & Spa Garden
This is arguably what sets Wickwoods apart. The Spa Garden includes a Himalayan salt sauna, aromatherapy steam rooms, a plunge pool, and cocooning pods and loungers for relaxing outdoors — a genuinely more elaborate wellness offering than a standard David Lloyd spa.
Tennis & Padel
4 indoor and 2 outdoor tennis courts plus dedicated padel courts, with coaching for all abilities and an active racquets community running club championships and weekly tournaments.
Reformer Pilates
A dedicated, boutique-style Reformer Pilates studio — one of David Lloyd’s fastest-growing class formats, and a genuine point of difference from clubs that only offer mat-based Pilates.
Clubroom & Rooms
A Clubroom for dining and relaxing, plus a business lounge and workspace. Wickwoods also offers overnight rooms for members wanting to extend a visit into a short countryside stay — a feature not common across the wider David Lloyd network, reflecting the club’s country estate setting.

FAQs
Final Thoughts
David Lloyd Wickwoods occupies a genuinely different niche within the network — an adults-only country club built around recovery, wellness, and a quieter racquets community rather than family leisure. If that’s what you’re looking for, the Spa Garden and dedicated Reformer Pilates studio are hard to match elsewhere in the David Lloyd estate. If you need family facilities, look elsewhere in the network first. As always, treat every price here as a starting point and get a personalised quote directly from the club.specific club, and treat it as a genuine test of whether you’ll use the facilities enough to justify full membership, not just a free perk to grab.
