After a £2million overhaul, the David Lloyd Club Purley has now been relaunched.

On hand to officially open the newly done-up club was general manager Michel Van Heerden and A Place in the Sun presenter Laura Hamilton.

It wasn't just wine and celebrations however.

The club took to surveying families about what else, but exercise.

The survey found that 35 per cent of Purley families claim to regularly exercise together.

Swimming tops the list of most popular forms of exercise for families 54 per cent followed by family walks 51 per cent, football 50 per cent and tennis 36 per cent.

Mr Van Heerden said: “Our research shows that exercising together as a family is a growing fitness trend, with the activity now up there with more longstanding ways of spending quality time with loved ones – including going to the cinema, playing board games, cooking and reading – demonstrating just how important a role it has come to play as a means of bonding with one another.

“We hope that through the opening of new David Lloyd Club Purley, we’ll help encourage more and more families to get swept up in the trend. Our clubs provide the perfect haven where families can spend time under one roof in a warm and friendly environment, while ensuring everyone stays fit and healthy at the same time.”
