There are 58 clubs in the UK and Ireland, and the business has also expanding into Spain, The Netherlands and Belgium. DLL is also a vital part of the local communities in which it operates, delivering tennis lessons to more than 10,000 children each week, as well as swimming lessons to more than 12,000 children. Operating at the premium end of the active leisure market, David Lloyd Leisure is nevertheless self-consciously non-elitist. The sheer breadth of facilities and programmes offered is unmatched in the sports, health and fitness sector.

Britain's biggest tennis operator, David Lloyd Leisure has over 520 tennis courts (of which more than half are indoor) which would stretch eight miles, if laid end-to-end. Its 75 swimming pools (of which 46 are indoor) comprise over ten miles of swimming lanes, while its gyms remain queue-free with over 8,000 individual fitness machines. An innovator in its field, David Lloyd Leisure has also led the way in recent years with the introduction and development of fitness classes with enduring appeal, such as Pilates and Spinning.

Employing 4,500 specialists, including over 350 fitness instructors and 200 tennis coaches as well as beauty therapists and nutritionists, David Lloyd Leisure's health and fitness expertise is also unparalleled.

Given the breadth of its operations, it is unsurprising that, at 100,000 sq ft, the typical David Lloyd Leisure club dwarfs its competitors (70 per cent of UK clubs occupy less than 20,000 sq ft). The model is flexible and the company is successfully developing smaller (25,000 - 35,000 sq ft) clubs in more urban areas, which act as satellites for the larger clubs.
