Russell Barnes, chief executive of David Lloyd Leisure, emphasizes that the new workspaces cater to modern life: "Just because people are not in the office does not mean they are not working. Some of our members fit in an early swim or a late game of padel around working in one of our dedicated spaces. It's being smart about planning your day and making time for your health and wellbeing, without losing productivity."
The introduction of work-friendly areas has seen between 50 and 100 individuals utilize these spaces daily. This demonstrates a clear demand for flexible setups that combine fitness, leisure, and community within David Lloyd Leisure’s clubs.
The company is undertaking a £500 million investment programme over the next three to four years, aiming to develop 15 new sites, add spa retreats at 50 clubs, and padel courts at 60. This strategy intends to deepen the brand's commitment to a sense of 'work, rest, and play' for its members.
David Lloyd Leisure's revenues rose to £630 million in 2023, up from £557 million in the previous year, showcasing a growth in membership, despite a decline in operating profit.
