Quick Answer
David Lloyd Bristol Westbury sits in the Tier 3 band of the 2026 UK pricing structure. It is the wellness oriented Bristol sister to the Tier 4 Emersons Green club, with the newer Clubroom format and a stronger spa stack.
On a Standard 12 month contract, expect roughly £100 a month on Club (off peak), £120 on Plus, and £145 on Platinum, with joining fees of about £75 to £125.
The Flexible 3 month rolling contract adds about 25 percent, lifting Platinum to around £181 a month. Couple, junior, and infant add ons sit on top of the lead adult price.
David Lloyd Bristol Westbury at a glance
Bristol Westbury sits in the leafy western suburbs, designed to serve the BS9 and BS10 catchment plus North Somerset commuters. The club leans toward the newer wellness format, with a strong Clubroom and spa offer rather than a racquet flagship.
For pricing context, the 2026 nationwide guide places Tier 3 individual adults at £125 to £150 a month on Platinum, and Bristol Westbury sits at the upper end of that band given the affluent catchment and recent refurbishment.
2026 monthly prices by package
| Package | Standard 12 month | Flexible 3 month | Typical joining fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platinum (full access, spa, racquets) | £145 / mo | £181 / mo | £75 to £125 |
| Plus (unrestricted gym and pool, towels) | £120 / mo | £150 / mo | £53 to £75 |
| Club (off peak only) | £100 / mo | £125 / mo | £30 to £53 |
Off peak hours on the Club package are roughly 11am to 4pm on weekdays and after 2pm on weekends. The Flexible contract adds useful safety on a relocation, but the 25 percent premium adds up over a year.
What you get inside the club
Tier 3 kit at this club covers the headline lifestyle stack you would expect.
- Spa Retreat (Platinum only). Salt sauna, steam room, and outdoor hydrotherapy area in the refreshed wellness format.

Standard vs Flexible: which contract makes sense?
The 25 percent Flexible premium is essentially insurance against an early exit. If you are settled and planning to train at least twice a week, the Standard 12 month is the clear winner. If a relocation or job move sits inside the next six months, Flexible buys peace of mind for the cost of about £432 extra a year on Platinum.
How this club compares to other David Lloyd tiers

Negotiation tips for joining
- Time the visit. January, September, and end of month sales pushes are when joining fee waivers are easiest to secure.
- Ask for the waiver directly. Sales reps can usually drop the joining fee on a same day sign up for a 12 month Standard contract.
- Bundle the family. Adding a partner and a junior at the same time often unlocks a free month or waived junior joining fee.
- Use a tour or guest pass. Most clubs offer a guest pass or trial visit. Train during your usual window before committing to Platinum.
Freezing, cancelling, and the 2026 notice rules
- Initial term. 12 months on Standard, 3 months on Flexible.
- Notice after the initial term. 3 months written notice on Standard, 1 month on Flexible.
- Freezes. Up to 3 months a year for medical reasons or extended travel, usually £10 to £15 a month while paused.
- Refunds. No pro rata refund mid month, so time cancellation to land on the last day of a billing cycle.
Who this club is best for
| If you are | Best package | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The remote worker in BS9 or BS10 | Plus | All day gym, pool, and Clubroom Wi-Fi without the spa premium |
| The wellness focused member | Platinum | Spa Retreat is the headline feature versus the Tier 4 Emersons Green sister club |
| The family with juniors | Platinum couple plus juniors | Pool, crèche, and DL Kids stack at a more sensible Tier 3 price than central London |
| The budget conscious member | Club | Off peak access at roughly 30% less, sensible for daytime trainers |
