Quick Answer
David Lloyd Clubs has confirmed the new St Neots site is opening in Autumn 2026, with regional press in June 2026 carrying the formal opening date announcement. Construction is well advanced on the Cambridgeshire plot and a premises licence has already been granted.
St Neots will be a full premium club with indoor and outdoor heated pools, a Spa Retreat and Spa Garden, racquets, a gym, group exercise studios and DL Kids facilities.
If you want founder pricing you need to register your interest at davidlloyd.co.uk/clubs/st-neots before the gates open, because intro offers always close once general membership begins.
What we know about the opening date
David Lloyd first publicly confirmed the St Neots build was targeting Autumn 2026 in the Hunts Post, after work began on the Cambridgeshire site. In June 2026 Cambridgeshire Live reported the opening date had been formally announced, with the club page on davidlloyd.co.uk also flipping to a 2026 opening message rather than a generic coming soon.
Anyone who has watched a David Lloyd build before will recognise the pattern. The brand confirms the season first, runs a founder member campaign two to three months ahead, then locks in the exact date roughly four to six weeks before opening.
What St Neots will include
The St Neots site has been planned and consented as a flagship style premium club. Based on the published planning documents and the brand's standard new build template, members can expect:
- Indoor 25 metre lap pool and a heated outdoor pool used year round.
- Spa Retreat and Spa Garden, both new flagship wellness concepts.
- Large gym floor with cardio, free weights, and functional zones.
- Group exercise studios including cycle and a mind body room.
- Indoor and outdoor tennis courts, plus padel.
- DL Kids zone, holiday camps, and a crèche.
- Clubroom dining and a coffee lounge.
Where it is
The new site sits in postcode district PE19, just off the A1 and easy to reach from Huntingdon, Bedford, and the Cambridge commuter belt. The location explains why the brand has prioritised it over other planning pipeline sites.
Founder pricing and what to expect
David Lloyd usually opens a new club with a tiered founder offer. The pattern across the 2024 to 2026 openings (Harlow, Cheshire Oaks, Long Ashton, Newhaven Harbour) has been:
- Founder Tier 1, the earliest joiners: full joining fee waived plus a lower locked in monthly rate, usually for at least 12 months.
- Founder Tier 2, mid window: joining fee waived but standard monthly rate.
- General membership: full joining fee restored, standard pricing.
If past openings are a guide, founder rates at St Neots will sit in the £85 to £130 per month range depending on package, with a Platinum option of £130 to £150 a month once general membership opens. These are projections, not quotes.

FAQ

Join in the founder window, before general membership opens.
St Neots is one of the fastest growing towns in Cambridgeshire, and David Lloyd has identified the catchment as underserved by premium racquets and family clubs. The Wintringham Park location at Lannesbury Crescent puts the site inside a planned mixed use neighbourhood, which means parking, road access, and surrounding green space were designed around the club rather than retrofitted. Members across St Neots, Eaton Socon, Eynesbury, Eaton Ford and the wider A1 corridor will all be inside a 15 minute drive.
For a town that has long relied on council pools and chain gyms, the arrival of a premium club with two pools, indoor and outdoor tennis, padel, Spa Retreat, Blaze, reformer, DL Kids and a Clubroom is a meaningful step up. Founder cohort spots almost always sell out before opening, so registering interest early is the best route to the lowest joining fee and the best monthly rate.
Quick checklist before founder sales open
- Register interest at davidlloyd.co.uk/clubs/st-neots.
- Check email daily in the four weeks before launch.
- Decide between Plus and Platinum in advance to move quickly.
- Ask explicitly about the founder price lock window.
- Confirm reformer Pilates and padel inclusion before signing.
Final word
David Lloyd St Neots is on the verge of opening, with Autumn 2026 now formally confirmed. Cambridgeshire and the wider Huntingdon and Bedford belt gain a flagship style site with two pools, a Spa Retreat, racquets, and a full family programme. Register interest now if you want founder pricing, because it disappears the moment the doors open.
