Brian Morris, Executive President of Aspria commented: 

“Over my 26 years building Aspria, I've been impressed by the extensive premiumisation the David Lloyd clubs have undergone under TDR Capital’s ownership. This agreement is a natural evolution for the two businesses and combines not just our luxury health and wellness offerings, but also extensive talent and product innovation. I'm pleased to remain involved in an advisory capacity and confident David Lloyd shares our commitment to quality, long-term thinking and putting members first.”

Glenn Earlam, Executive Chairman of David Lloyd Clubs said: 

“We are really pleased to welcome Aspria and its members into the DLC Group. Aspria is a business that we have admired for many years, and a team that shares our values and ambition to provide members with world-leading health and wellness facilities. Europe is a big opportunity for DLC and we see this acquisition as an important step forward in growing our business across the Continent.”

David Lloyd Clubs was founded in 1982 by British tennis star David Lloyd. There are over 100 David Lloyd gyms in the UK and the firm has a growing presence in mainland Europe. In 2020 for instance, it took over clubs from Meridian Spa and Fitness in Germany.
