David Lloyd Gym Membership

Options
Hi everyone, I'm hoping you might be able to offer some help? :)

So me and my fianc! want to join David Lloyd in Raynes Park, London however for us to join as a couple, we would have to sign up for 12 months at £77 a month. This is over our budget by about £20 and just seems so excessive when we are trying to pull as much money together for our wedding in September. We have two very close friends who are also members and they pay £56 a month, but DL isn’t willing to offer us the same rate. We cannot join off peak as we both work office hours and by joining as a "couple" £77 is the very lowest they can offer.

I've asked work about corporate memberships and whether they'd be interested in taking part in the scheme but it isn't for them. I've got BUPA health insurance but I'm not sure if this will assist in any way in me getting a discount.

I just wondered if anyone had some tips/tricks in respect of DL in getting their memberships down a bit cheaper? I've read Martin's page on gyms and we've tried our best to haggle with them but are not having any joy! We've used as many free passes/trials as we are allowed to use now so are getting a bit desperate.

There are other gyms in the area, but the facilities at DL are much better (and maybe arguably that would justify the price) and because our two friends go there and are our workout partners, we'd rather stick with DL if we can.

If not then we will have to consider joining elsewhere, but I thought I'd post here first before we gave up!

Thanks in advance :)
