A word of advice. Do NOT, under ANY circumstances join David Lloyd in Weybridge!
Having looked forward to this for the past couple of days, I had a bad start in that I've been up since 02:30 with an unwell son, but decided to go to the gym anyway. I got there nice and early at 05:45 ready for a 6 start, but then found out they only open at 6 on Tuesdays and Fridays! So I hung around and although the gym itself is very nice, the free weights section was abysmal!
NO squat rack
Only ONE Smith Machine which looked about 20 years old. It was an effort moving it without any weights on, let alone loaded up with 90kg!
The dumbells looked prehistoric
You had to walk all the way past the cardio equipment to get to the dips/chin ups
Very limited space in which to work
It was all so out of date it's unbelievable to think people pay £80 a month for that. Then the changing rooms - They had a grubby feel about them as well.
Cannons piss all over them. Think Rocky IV, Rocky trains out in the snow, Drago has a state of the art gym to train in. That's the difference we're talking here. So I had a half arsed workout making the best of what I had and now I cannot wait to get back to Cannons on Friday morning!
It's a shame because the rest of the gym was just what I want, but £80 a month? I'd be pissed off if I was paying half that.
Anyway, rant over, the show goes on.....

sounds shitty mate - DL over here is pretty good from memory as I helped my dads mate who owned a fitness equipment company fit out DL - all good shit
£80 a month is a joke - fit first here starts from £15 ish a month upwards to 20 odds and has squat rack, delcine and flat bench and 2 dbells racks aswell as loads of other stuff!
I get my membership at £25 a month at the moment through my health insurance (Usually £57) but when it renews it will be nothing as they have a benefits thing whereby if you go to the gym twice or more a week on average over a rolling three month period, it's free.
Just thought DL might make a nice change but I was wrong. If they re-equipped the whole area like Cannons did with theirs a few months ago, it might be worth looking at.
