David Lloyd Clubs is making its gym app free for everyone - with 600 fitness classes available

With lockdown restrictions forcing gyms to remain closed, David Lloyd Clubs is now making its app free for everyone to use for the first time.

Through the app, users will have access to more than 600 fitness classes and wellness sessions which were previously only available exclusively to its members.

Live and on demand content

The David Lloyd Clubs @home App is now available to all free of charge and provides users with access to some 600 classes, with new live and on demand content available every day.

Classes range from yoga and pilates, to high intensity interval training (HIIT), post-natal workouts and mobility sessions for runners, all delivered by the David Lloyd Clubs expert team.

Users can also take part in a series of challenges across different genres to progress and challenge themselves, as well as exclusive signature classes and wellness sessions.

Those who are keen runners can make use of the DL Run Club, which welcomes runners of all abilities, and the David Lloyd Mile, which provides a friendly online community for families to share their daily outdoor exercise, while youngsters have the opportunity to win certificates for the miles they’ve clocked up.

The app also features content for older people who have struggled to leave the house to exercise during lockdown, with a range of specially tailored fitness workouts and wellness content to help get them moving.

Social support

On top of the fitness aspect, the app also provides access to a virtual community which aims to support users who may be struggling alone, or those looking for an escape from home working.

Users can take part in virtual coffee mornings, hosted by social enterprise coffee traders Change Please, along with quiz and disco nights, book clubs, kids clubs and live interactive workshops.

There is also a dedicated wellness section, which includes meditation sessions, mindfulness programmes, and beauty and hair tutorials.
