David Lloyd Club sets out to unlock jobs in Rugby

The brand new David Lloyd Club in Rugby is expected to generate more than £4m for local subcontractors and companies.

Construction of the new David Lloyd Club has already generated between 50-60 construction jobs for the local community, with a further 25+ job opportunities expected once the club is fully operational. The Group has also confirmed they will explore opportunities to develop local community partnerships in and around Rugby over the coming months.

Work on the new luxury club began in earnest in Autumn 2022 and is due to be finalised and open by this summer. The club was granted planning approval in September 2020 following extensive consultation with the local community in 2019.

Located within Rugby’s growing neighbourhood of Houlton, just four miles outside of Rugby Town Centre, the club will provide an unrivalled health and wellness experience for the entire community.

The brand new David Lloyd Rugby Club will feature cutting-edge facilities including a light and spacious 100+ station gym to help members not only achieve their fitness goals but to conquer their personal best.

There will be four bespoke designed group exercise studios including a hi-tech indoor cycling studio, high-energy studio, a mind & body studio and the David Lloyd Clubs exclusive Blaze studio.

There is also a Clubroom with a family zone, an indoor soft play area for the younger ones, and a business hub. An outdoor terrace will offer a space for outdoor dining and drinking on warmer days and evenings. Throughout the year members can look forward to members-only social events including chess clubs and book clubs.

Jack Phillips, general manager said: “Work on Rugby’s new David Lloyd Club is coming on well and we’re so excited to share what we’re creating here with the community of Rugby and beyond. We have a fantastic team of partners, suppliers and contractors who are working extremely hard day in day out to bring this new family-friendly leisure destination to life this summer.

“It’s been wonderful to tap into the skillsets available on Rugby’s doorstep and we look forward to engaging more with the local community as the development takes shape over the coming months. We know that people of all generations will relish what the club has to offer, from the state-of-the-art gym, racquet and spa facilities to the Clubroom and children’s activities.

“Our philosophy is to create incredible health and wellness spaces where family and friends can spend quality time together, and we’d encourage anyone interested in learning more about what’s to come from David Lloyd Rugby and to sign up for early access memberships to register via the website.”

The Club will have a sizeable members carpark and is well-connected to Rugby town centre, via Houlton Way.
