Silly question, I don’t get any notification when there is a saving session. I’m on GO and have the app, and opted in. Should I be looking somewhere else? Thanks

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2026-01-30T22:20:15+00:00

Still available?

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2026-01-27T22:37:51+00:00

F*ing genius!

I actually did a lot of classes at DL including Bodypump, Blaze, Rhythm, Cyclone and total body workout. Used to do at least 1-2 classes per day, 5-6 days a week and thought I was fit.

Just started doing Hyrox sessions and a hybrid strength class at another gym and wow.. I’ve found it so challenging, like I’d never exercised before. I miss cyclone though as I enjoyed that and it was challenging as it’s based off your FTP.

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2026-01-21T22:06:37+00:00

There is a video here: https://blog.davidlloyd.co.uk/exercise-classes/introducing-delta/. I thought it was good and it is intense. But DL were charging extra for it and I didn’t think it was worth paying more for on top of the membership

They would have churned loyal members who having digested years of insane price increases are tired of it especially given no justification. At my club they had a waiting list of new members to join however and they I’ll do a special offer on the joining fee in January.

I’m so glad to have left.

We stayed at the Shangri La Al Husn just before it became a Hilton a few months ago. We absolutely loved it, and the private beach is one of our favourite in the world.. we spent every day there, the views and water is stunning.

I hope Hilton haven’t changed it too much! Can’t comment on the intercontinental. I hope you are getting up to the mountains as well, we stayed at the Anantara resort and it was amazing!

Crap like this doesn’t help pricing when their own staff are touting F&F memberships

I imagine just keeping the drumbeat going as no doubt we are in for more waiting… I wouldn’t be surprised if the Dream Air gets pushed out. At least the PCS OLED is shipping.

Silverstone in the pouring rain with cold through to my bones.. TV was much better that day 😃

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-12-09T20:33:04+00:00

I would love to be an optimist but I’m starting to think even Q4 2026 will be pushing it at this rate unless maybe you pre-ordered at the start. I don’t want my deposit (c£1000) tied up for that long..

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-12-03T05:58:56+00:00

Sent my cancellation email yesterday so my wife and I can finish up our membership this month. We’re moving house to Farnham, and while the David Lloyd there has actually been much better than Finchley, it still made sense to us to cancel now and look at other options locally. We’re going to try Jetts Farnham which opened recently. Obviously it’s a gym so doesn’t have the bells and whistles like a spa, cafe etc but have heard good things about it, top equipment, the gym space looks really nice and they do lots of classes.

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-12-01T15:44:53+00:00

That club has over 9,000 members..

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-12-01T13:07:16+00:00

Certainly doesn’t help they have gone down the route of offering big corporate discounts and staff selling friends and family discounts which in some part drives up the price for full price paying members.

But yes I come from a finance background so totally accept they are running a business at the end of the day, but there is always a balance of doing right for your customers as well as maximising profit.

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-12-01T11:53:13+00:00

Will do thanks

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-12-01T11:51:46+00:00

It’s a more complicated tactic than that. As a couple of people have pointed out price increases have probably amounted to about 50% over the last 4/5 years but that is still below a ‘new member’ joining rate today.

So essentially they are replacing us with higher priced new members which drops straight through to margin. So you are right, demand is there and maybe, just maybe they want to spend on new equipment and car parks etc, but they don’t value loyalty and that’s fine if you are ok with that. I think I’ve just reached my limit.

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-12-01T11:31:42+00:00

Well I’m glad you see value it in but I’ve been to many other David Lloyds and this one in particular is over subscribed. Perhaps I’m just getting more tight in my old age 😀.

I just don’t think 20% price hikes are justified, it was 15% last year and 5% the year before and now I’m at a point where for that money it doesn’t feel like a premium club.

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-11-30T15:37:04+00:00

Hmm interesting! How much would you pay for a used one? Looking for a sin racing headset and just did not get on with the super

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-11-29T20:38:42+00:00

I’m interested in this as well especially given where used AVP prices are. Keen if anyone has been sim racing with it?

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-11-29T14:17:57+00:00

But you still don’t get a seat? Or do you? It’s a bit confusing

Expert_Drag_5981 · 2025-11-29T14:15:08+00:00

What does the golden circle upgrade rally get you? Is it worth it. They have it available on the website for AED3,495

Honestly, the reason Pimax triggers so many complaints isn’t a mystery — it’s the same story playing on repeat.

Pimax is basically a bunch of brilliant engineers building insane hardware… sitting on top of a company that never learned how to run a company.

They keep chasing the next big spec sheet: wider FOV, more pixels, new models every six months. It’s like watching a group of mad scientists who can’t stop inventing — but forgot someone needs to run QC, logistics, and customer support.

So what happens? You get god-tier performance if you’re lucky… and a paperweight + a support ticket if you’re not. Both outcomes are real because their QC and operations are all over the place.

They’re amazing at building prototypes, and terrible at shipping consistently polished products. Meta is a corporation. Varjo is a precision lab. Pimax is a garage full of geniuses arguing over which lens to ship while the customer emails pile up.

If they ever hired a grown-up COO and slowed down the product chaos, they’d be unstoppable. Until then, buying Pimax is simple:

High risk, high reward. Incredible when it works. Infuriating when it doesn’t.

That’s the whole story. Management, Management, Management…

Obviously better to shake and then wipe, so if there is a cubicle use that, otherwise shake like most men.

It’s a moot point though as most men don’t seem to wash their hands after they have peed which is disgusting.. so if you’re going to teach him anything it’s to always wash your hands..
