Fitness and gym

Our gym is small but well-equipped, offering the latest in functional fitness, strength and flexibility training, as well as cardio exercise. We also offer a range of fitness classes, including yoga, pilates and circuit training. Members may call on our club's affiliated personal trainers for support. To join the gym, arrange a tour or induction, e-mail the fitness manager at fitness@drf.club.

Changing rooms and showers are available to adult members but, due to safeguarding rules, whenever possible, members under the age of 18 should come to the club changed into their kit ready to play, see our Changing Room Policy for further details.

Courts and booking

Members love playing on our all-weather outdoor courts. One is hard court and can be used for tennis or pickle ball, and six are synthetic grass. Floodlights are available on all courts except one.

Inside, we have are four championship-standard squash courts, including a glass-backed show court and a spectator gallery. Table tennis tables are also available for use.

All courts must be booked prior to playing via the MyCourts system. Non-members may use the ‘pay and play’ facility. Non-marking shoes on the squash courts please!
