History
editThe club was founded in 1905 under the name Lawn Tennis del Turó. In 1911, the name was changed to Reial Club Tennis del Turó after its new facilities near Carrer de Descartes were inaugurated by Alfonso XIII. In 1968, it was moved to its current location on Avinguda Diagonal.[1]
In 2003, the company David Lloyd Leisure took over the management of the club and changed the name to David Lloyd Club Turó.
