Is Monifieth gym David Lloyd worth more than £140 to join?

Exercising whether that be at the gym or going for a swim is a terrific way to get active and start living a healthier lifestyle.

David Lloyd fitness centres are renowned for their amenities, kid-friendly programmes, and overall availability of everything you need.

I visited David Lloyd Dundee, which is located in Monifieth, recently to review its offering.

I wanted to find out if a higher-end fitness facility is worth the price or if money would be better spent on a more budget-friendly gym.

David Lloyd Dundee: A wellness destination

David Lloyd’s based in Monifieth presents itself as an all-inclusive wellness destination, offering much more than just a gym.

Showing off its outstanding fitness facilities, including its high-tech equipment and extensive range of fitness classes, David Lloyd caters to individual needs.

The gym is incomparable as it offers facilities that basic gyms don’t.

It has luxury facilities including swimming pools, a spa service and tennis courts.

What’s the price of a membership?

I decided to use a guest pass to see if the gym was really cost-effective.

But it is hard to find out the prices for different memberships as David Lloyd doesn’t advertise them clearly.

The things you can and cannot access depend on your membership.

The platinum membership gives an individual unlimited and unrestricted access to the club.

You can also have full use of the gym, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and all classes including racquet sports.

This membership costs around £76 a month, with a £65 joining fee.

But if playing racquet sports or swimming is not your thing, they also offer a club membership.

This gives you access to the gym only and all of the classes between 11 am – 4 pm, Monday to Friday.

For the club membership, it costs £44 per month, with a £110 joining fee.

Cleanliness and Atmosphere: 10/10

I have nothing but praise for the courteous and helpful service provided by the David Lloyd Gym staff in Monifieth.

You can see they go above and beyond to make sure every member feels appreciated and supported, whether it’s helping with equipment use, responding to enquiries, or offering advice on memberships.

The hairdryers and GHD straighteners in the women’s changing rooms are a nice touch especially if you are heading to work after your workout!

The welcoming receptionists made me feel comfortable going to a gym I had never been to before when I first walked in.

You can see the facilities are kept in excellent condition and are kept clean, which makes for a comfortable and hygienic workout environment.

Exercise options: 10/10

Every fitness need is met by the impressive array of facilities at David Lloyd gym.

There is definitely something for everyone, from its opulent swimming pools and spa facilities to its well-equipped cardio and weight training zones.

Even though the gym was packed when I visited at lunch, there was still plenty of room for workouts on the spacious floor.

There are also plenty of options for different workouts on the squash courts, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, and group exercise studios.

Class offerings: 9/10

There is a class to fit every taste and fitness level, ranging from mind-body exercises like yoga and Pilates to high-energy group fitness classes like spinning and HIIT.

Unfortunately, since I had just missed Pilates, there were no classes in session when I went to the gym. I definitely would have loved to try that.

Providing a family-friendly environment makes it an attractive option for parents looking to make time for their fitness journey, without compromising family time, is important.

With services like massages and facials, the spa facilities offer a much-needed break for rest and renewal, assisting customers in decompressing after a demanding day.

However, the premium experience comes at a higher cost, reflecting the services offered by David Lloyd Dundee.
