“Beautiful and functional object”

“Great venue, looks good from outside, parking easy, staff friendly and quick service at bar. Beer nice, Toilets clean and seating comfortable. Lighting and sound just right, thoroughly enjoyed it.”

“I’ve just signed up for the Platinum membership at David Lloyds, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. After considering several gyms in the area, this one stood out—and now I can see why. The facilities are exceptional, from the sauna and heated pools to the top-quality gym equipment and variety of classes on offer. A huge thank you to Dylan for providing a comprehensive tour and sharing his extensive knowledge about everything the club has to offer. His professionalism and enthusiasm made the experience even better—he’s truly an asset to the team.”

“I’ve been a member of this club for many years. It’s great. I love the classes, particularly Body pump, balance and combat All of the instructors are great. In fact all the staff are friendly and helpful. The changing rooms and pool area are clean and well maintained. Highly recommend”

“This gym is really large, well laid out and good value for money. Can't praise the staff enough they're always so helpful and nice even though I've seen them deal with some really awful customers and they always stay professional. Things break, especially when members keep leaving steam room doors open, just like in any gym but the staff are always as helpful as can be. They need a scanner system to help people check in, that would help everything move more smoothly, otherwise 10/10.”

“Very nice shop, the guy who served me took his time to explain everything and took my level to consideration. I got as well everything written how to take and what results to expect which i can already start seeing forming. Brilliant experience and outstanding service with very cheap prices comparing to eBay or amazon. As well as more I bought as more i got freebies and samples. Keep it up guys !”

“I went for a gait analysis today and was very happy with the service. I was served by Mary who is very knowledgeable and gave plenty of good advice on what shoes would be best for me as I’m training for my first half marathon and have not ran further than 10km before. The gait analysis results were explained clearly and I was able to try on a variety of different shoes and felt I could take my time and there was no pressure to buy and I settled on a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS. I was also given advice on nutrition and how to keep my energy levels up during longer distance runs with energy gels/bars so also got a sample pack of some flapjacks and will return to get some bars or gels during my training and for race day! Running Form is a lovely small business, and it’s clear those working there are knowledgeable about all things running! I’d recommend paying them a visit whether you’re just starting out with running or have completed multiple ultras!”

“It was my first time visiting the salon today for a cut and finish with Sarah. Sarah really listened to what I wanted and I’m really pleased with the results. The wash and massage was wonderful and I loved my bouncy blow dry! Thank you!”

“Abi at Lyfe counselling has helped me no end, her wealth of experience and generally incredible ability to make you comfortable opening up is second to none. Got me through an incredibly difficult time of my life and I couldn’t have done it with out her Couldn’t recommend her any more if I tried”

“After completing both the beginners and novice courses here, I now go to mixed ability classes. Each week I feel stronger and its so much fun, who doesn't want to have fun whilst doing exercise?! The instructors are so friendly too. Would recommend!”

“Amazing facility. Fantastic futsal court with excellent seating and a great playing surface. Good little cafe which does a decent coffee too.”

“Had my first pilates session a few days ago and cant recommend this more, Ive been training weight lifting for over 8y and my flexibility is getting a little stiff, thats why I looked to get into Yoga or Pilates and for me this is the best, Bengi is such a knowledgeable person and guides you on every move which is important, I already feel like my body is appreciating the flexibility this brings me, cant wait for my next session.”

“I have known Allen since he was a Personal Trainer at LA Fitness. Suffering with various issues including Shoulder issues, tight hamstrings and poor posture. Allen's knowledge, expertise and skill along with the advice he gives is second to none and he has resolved the issues I had and helped me immensely. He is an experienced sports massage therapist who I have also used after for personal training sessions.”

“Good dance studios. Has an excellent adult tap class on a Wednesday night. Taken on by Derby Live there are classes back on.”

“Myself and a few friends have been on many spa days at Richmond and have always really enjoyed it. The two ladies who do the treatment’s, Amy and Jackie are both great and make everyone feel really special. I would recommend to anyone.”

“Visited for an NHS event regarding having a check up on an ECG, blood pressure, diabetes, height, weight. Stands were available for more information on the above. Also NHS help to get on the NHS app. I can highly recommend anyone book when they next have the event. Plenty of people to guide you round, lovely and friendly, the place was immaculate too.”

“Uttoxeter Leisure Centre: A Clean and Well-Maintained Facility Uttoxeter Leisure Centre has proven to be a reliable and enjoyable destination for my fitness needs. The facility is well-maintained, with clean and tidy common areas and bathrooms. The recent refurbishment of the gym has given it a fresh and modern look, making it a pleasant space to workout. One of the highlights is the swimming pool, which is of a decent size and provides a refreshing environment for swimming. For those who enjoy racket sports, the badminton courts are always in good condition and offer a satisfying experience. While parking can be a bit of a hassle with the app-based payment system, the convenience of redeeming the payment at the counter mitigates this inconvenience. Overall, Uttoxeter Leisure Centre is a great choice for those seeking a clean, well-equipped, and enjoyable fitness experience.”

“This is a great gym. Plenty of options when it comes to equipment. There are classes you can take as well.”

“Enjoy the setting and advice here - new wall has some great lines for 5s and 6s”

“Claire is a lovely manager and a real joy to meet. The facility is a nice big space with a large swimming pool and gym upstairs. The fitness studio is big with all the latest facilities. The cafe downstairs serves costa coffee and it's a nice place to relax before or after a workout.”

“Just held my son's 4th birthday party here. The kids loved the bouncy castle and soft play there was lots for them to have fun with! The staff were great and I really do recommend it, you get a lot of party for your money”

“Been going to the Leisure Centre for 5 months now, and I really enjoy it. All of the staff are friendly and helpful, and the fitness classes are really great! Reasonable prices for memberships too. Highly recommend. ☺️”

“Booked our 4 year olds soft play party here Sept 2025. The softplay has loads of different areas and activities within it. Our family love it and so did the kids at the party. We had studio B for the 2nd hour of the party and it was a great size for us to set out different activities for the kids to do after their food. The buffet was pretty basic but fine for kids, quite expensive for what it was, but I guess it saves prepping and the hassle of sorting it all out yourself! Overall, a big success, and great place for a party”

“Gym and facilities are dated but still decent What was amazing was the staff member Ewan very polite extremely knowledgeable Very professional excellent communication Skills a true asset to the company amazing young man”

“Rob at the leisure centre was extremely helpful when I had some issues (my fault) signing up. Rob was friendly, professional, and made the whole sign-up process quick and easy. Thank you”
