David Lloyd Long Ashton at a glance
David Lloyd Long Ashton sits just south west of Bristol, close to the A370 and easy to reach from Clifton, Ashton, and the wider north Somerset catchment.

2026 monthly prices by package
| Package | Standard 12 month | Flexible 3 month | Typical joining fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platinum (full access, spa, racquets) | £140 / mo | £175 / mo | £50 to £100 |
| Plus (unrestricted gym and pool, towels) | £114 / mo | £143 / mo | £35 to £70 |
| Club (off peak only) | £92 / mo | £115 / mo | £20 to £40 |
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 possible move, 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.
- Racquets. Indoor and outdoor tennis with junior coaching, plus padel where rolled out across the south west.
- Pools. Indoor swimming for lanes and lessons, plus heated outdoor pool through the summer.
- Spa Retreat (Platinum only). Sauna, steam, and quieter adults focused wellness space.
- Gym floor. Strong cardio, resistance, and functional training setup.

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 wins clearly. If a relocation or job move sits inside the next six months, Flexible buys peace of mind for the cost of about £420 extra a year on Platinum.
How this club compares to other tiers
For context, here is how Platinum pricing tends to lay out across the 2026 tri tier UK estate.

Negotiation tips for joining
- Time the visit. January, September, and end of month sales pushes are when joining fee waivers are easiest to win.
- 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 guest pass. Most clubs offer a 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.

| The Clifton commuter | Platinum | Spa, pool, and gym stack works as a before or after work club |
