Down an oddly long and tree lined single lane road on the edge of London lies David Lloyd Sudbury Hill, set next to a golf course this David Lloyd the last time I visited was feeling a bit tired, a little rusty and all together not like a David Lloyd, but I knew that back in 2016 when I finished my last set that they were due a re-furb and now I have been back.
The gym itself is split over 2 floors in an impressive and large unit, with the changing rooms, swimming pools and normal downstairs amenities we are seeing such as cafe and then the main gym area upstairs. This is another of the David Lloyd's where we find that swimming pool is the centre point of the gym with everything else in a large ring around it.
One minor difference here is that the area with everything else on is open over the pool, this gives a nice open feel but the obvious downside is the humidity and the resulting impact on the equipment, I will come back to this. The gym area circling the pool has a new layout, retaining the free weights section at one end of the rectangle/oval (shorter side) with cardio equipment down one side and a synergy/functional area down the other long side and the cable setup at the other short end this looks really attractive.

We are a small but committed group of gym lovers aiming to visit as many gyms as possible.
Our goal (we dream big!) is to go round every gym in the UK reviewing them!
There are not many places out there that provide you with the full view of a gym, its benefits or even pictures of the inside!
We want to break open the gym industry and make it clear what gyms are like before you get there!
Training for 10 years for a variety of different sports from Thai Kickboxing, marathon running, power lifting and now physique body building, Ben has a broad range of things he looks for in a gym!
