David Lloyd Clubs, Europe’s leading health, sport and leisure group officially opens the doors to its brand-new Rugby club after a successful launch event with new members, community leaders and special appearance by England Rugby player, Anthony Watson.
The new Club brings local residents a brand new destination for the whole family including a state-of-the-art gym, indoor and outdoor pools, spa and spa garden, tennis and padel courts, group classes, DL Kids classes and activities, plus a Clubroom and Business area to ensure you have a space for the whole day, every day.
The highly anticipated launch event included a speech by General Manager Jack Phillips, menu tasters and guided tours of the state-of-the-art facilities. Attendees included Councilor Luke Russell, Houlton’s residents’ events team, and local treasure of the community, Vicar Steve Gold.

Jack Phillips, General Manager of David Lloyd Rugby said “It was a joy to welcome our new members and the wider community to the club.
“Rugby locals have welcomed us with open arms into their community and we are so glad to return the favour and welcome them into the new club. When you visit, be sure to keep an eye out for nods to Rugby’s rich history.
“At David Lloyd Clubs, we’re much more than just a gym. We’re a destination - a place for friends and family to come together with other like-minded members to come together to elevate their everyday, through socialising, fun, fitness and sports.”
The Club is just four miles outside of Rugby Town Centre within the growing neighborhood of Houlton. This Club is not only a place for health and fitness but also offers a hub for the community to gather; the Clubroom is cleverly designed to provide space for everybody, everyday with a business area, dining area and even a kids area with playframe.
