What Lee On The Solent Tennis Squash & Fitness Club does

Lee on the Solent Tennis, Squash & Fitness Club (operating as LOST) is a private members sports and fitness club established in 1911, located at 41-47 Manor Way, Lee on the Solent, Hampshire PO13 9JQ. The club operates a single-site facility comprising 6 all-weather tennis courts (4 floodlit) and 6 squash/racketball courts (including 2 international-standard glass-backed exhibition courts), a fully equipped gymnasium with cardiovascular, resistance, and free weights areas, sauna and steam rooms, a snooker room, a function room accommodating up to 100 guests, and a bar/restaurant showing Sky Sports and TNT Sports. It is governed by an elected Management Committee and owned collectively by its members, with 12 employees supporting operations.

The core offering is delivered through a five-tier subscription membership model (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Junior) with age-banded annual and monthly pricing ranging from £90 to £759, complemented by Pay & Play court hire, day passes, guest fees, and student-specific passes for full-time university students. Revenue diversification extends to venue hire for weddings, parties, wakes, meetings, and conferences, food and beverage sales, and partner-led group fitness classes (Pilates, Yoga, Zumba, Circuits, Strength & Tone, etc.) delivered through Better Body Club and independent instructors under LTA and England Squash safeguarding frameworks. Coaching programmes span tennis from age 2.5 and squash for all levels, with LTA Level 3/4 accredited coaches including Head Coach Gary Waughman.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and community-driven: the website (lostclub.co.uk), Instagram and Facebook presence drive top-of-funnel awareness, while on-site facility tours, the SportyHQ self-serve booking platform, and Pay & Play court hire serve as conversion funnels into full membership. There is no proprietary technology stack; the business is a traditional facility-based service with multi-stream recurring and transactional revenue anchored in a defined Hampshire coastal catchment.
