David Lloyd Kettering at a glance
David Lloyd Kettering sits on Stadium Way in NN15, close to the A14 and serving Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, and the wider Northamptonshire commuter belt.
For pricing context, the 2026 nationwide guide places Tier 5 individual adults inside the Tier 5 band, and Kettering sits in that range. The exact number you pay is set by the package you choose and any active promotion.
2026 monthly prices by package
| Package | Standard 12 month | Flexible 3 month | Typical joining fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platinum (full access, spa, racquets) | £115 / mo | £144 / mo | £40 to £80 |
| Plus (unrestricted gym and pool, towels) | £95 / mo | £119 / mo | £28 to £56 |
| Club (off peak only) | £80 / mo | £100 / mo | £16 to £32 |
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 5 kit at this club covers the headline lifestyle stack you would expect.
- Pools. Indoor lap pool and a heated outdoor pool used year round, plus a children's splash zone.
- Spa Retreat (Platinum only). Salt sauna, crystal steam room, and hydrotherapy seating where rolled out.
- Gym floor. TechnoGym strength and cardio kit, a functional rig, and a separate weights zone.

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 £348 extra a year on Platinum.

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.
