When it comes to a gym, sometimes simplicity is key. And that's exactly what you'll find at here— an all-inclusive fitness facility that provides everything you need to break a sweat and build those muscles. But let me assure you, there's more to it than just the basics. The gym, like other virgin active gyms in the area, has recently undergone some exciting upgrades that truly enhance the workout experience. The weights area, in particular, has received a major makeover. With new impact flooring and a range of modern equipment, it's a place where you'll find all the tools you need to challenge yourself and reach your fitness goals.

I don’t know if the staff steal or the members, but my previous gym kept my stuff aside if I accidentally left it. I came back the next morning after leaving my 3 bottles in the shower the previous afternoon, all gone, couldn’t find it. Honestly, I shouldn’t expect better because people are just disgusting. However the greenstone gym kept my gym mat I left accidentally after yoga. It’s just a different mentality. I don’t care if the equipment is good, the people make the difference.

I don't understand how come they don't have power back up. Their fees are very high.. Disappointed... Even small gyms have power back up

They need your card to exit the gym doesnt make any sense.

Needs work, not bad, sounds stupid, its probably me, but the roof is to low! 🤣

My favourite Virgin Active! The best instructors, the friendliest staff too! Live the energy of this gym!

It’s a lovely club to get your workout and it’s accessible from main roads in and out of the Sandton area. The only downside to the gym at peak hours, it’s overly crowded making it impossible to follow a full workout. You will have to wait for machines and equipment which is not great when you have limited time.

Great large format gym . It's a pit that the equipment is old and needs an upgrade. The change rooms and back areas needs a serious upgrade and space is tight. The Sauna & Steam rooms are still not in operation. When I queried, they told me that they are waiting on government to approve their request. Only then can they switch it back on. I am not convinced. Gym fees are expensive and we are paying full premiums, but however we only have half the service. I think virgin active needs to half our premiums as well.

Good location, some good classes but no barre, no thereband class, hygiene ok. I regret they don't care about their clients demands despite they give them the chance to write them and post in a box. Expensive cost if you want to try. Staff not really flexible. Very often pool in maintenance. Correct but not the best gym around regarding the price a the environment. And you must know that there is no generator!! 😳

Old cardio equipment. A fan to cool the gym area. Blows strong right in your face. Dirty toilets.

Needs renovations The place is old and crambling. Last time I was there,a lot of machines weren't functioning. There was power outage and we stayed in the dark for a good 30mn. My experience was ruined. It definitely needs a revamp

I'm not a gym person typically, but I really enjoy coming here. It has nice friendly atmosphere, to my humble opinion gym has lots of equipment for anyone's needs, pool is big and clean always. I like that there are all kind of people -from teenage boys, youth and up to elderly, who are so active:) I am using services of personal trainer Pascal and he really turns my gym sessions into my happy hours, which I'm actually looking forward to (never imagined I'll be excited to go to gym:))) , he gives me just the right exercises for me to challenge myself, become stronger and healthier but not to be exhausted. I do recommend this gym.

The gym has everything you need. Even a steam room that's not unisex, I just feel that's there's not a lot of space and things are kinda squashed together. The females bathroom is quite good.

please update your times. if the gym closes at 8pm i dont expect to be told that I cannot use the facility because of cleaning. either clean after hours or update the closing times to 7.45. unacceptable and rude.

So frustrating waiting months for my card to work. No one gives a damn. Among other reasons, literally running my contract down to choose another gym brand!

Great kick and step classes!!

Love it❤❤❤

Great place to workout, little pricy

Best gym in SA. Friendly vibe, not too full, not to over the top and very well maintained.

Awesome gym. Instructors are very friendly, good facilities and even have a kids area for minimal price.

Good gym. They have most of the machines I needed to use

Needs an urgent upgrade

The club is peaceful and well-managed. The class instructors are quite good and welcoming to new members. The queues under lockdown level 3 are bad though if you do not book sessions online.

Great service...and clean gym...would give it 9/10. Great work👏🏼

Love the gym. Spinning classes are absolutely amazing

My usual visit times are between 17:00 and 19:00 what would generally be peak time and theres never a long endless entry queue. I go to group sessions and theres always space in most classes so not necessary to book before hand. If you're a pilates fan, their have reformer pilates and 12 beds which is sufficient compared to other VA gyms. In house Kauai, which is lovely. For the avid runner, theres never a queue for treadmills. A pool for water babies.. otherwise, a clean facility all round. Plenty of parking space, thank goodness! They dont have a generator though, which I think is poor business practice for such an establishment.

It's okay, could to better both on service and internal look setup

Enjoyed classes, step n kick

Kauai staff are the best

Nice sized gym. Kauai on site is amazing. Wish there was a generator to keep the cardio equipment running during load shedding.

A lot of improvement needed . . . Friendly greetings would be appreciated as well as communication when systems are down. It's an obstacle course to find equipment in studio storage rooms. There are, however, some great instructors!

The layout may have changed, but the variety of equipment has remained the same for years. Staff are not vigilant in the weights section, so gym bags are left on the floor for you to trip over, and equipment is piled up with other people's weights.

Apparently weights are electric cause they close the club completely during loadshedding now? Pool is mostly closed for some inexplicable reason. Staff are indifferent. Good parking tho. I'd stick to the other clubs, like Sandton cbd rather.

Excellent gym... love the hot yoga classes Wish there were classes that started at 6am..

Pair of Weights always hard to find by Weight section. Especialy 6's. Staff not monitoring. Some of the reception staff very unfriendly. Gym has no back up power for cardio equipment.

shit enviroment

Very friendly service and good clean machines

A nice small gym packed with lots of equipment. Every type that I required was there and available. The mens steam room was very small and could accommodate about 11 people. But only 3 seats are safe from the hot jet of steam that occasionally shoots out. If you happen to be in the line of fire, make sure you move before the steam shoots out. The sauna is also small and can accommodate about 6 people. The shower stalls are very close to each other and I think there could be lots of unintentional touching when busy. In summary, I like this gym a lot as it has lots of equipment. It is an nice older gym but too small. I went during its quiet time and I could view all parts of the exercise areas from almost all angle. My opinion and based on other reviews, I believe that it would be uncomfortably busy during peak period. The staff is freindly but not attentive to clients. Needs a bit of work here.

The Gym is decent but their personal trainer Billy completely makes up for it. I have lost 5kg in 3 weeks and am feeling amazing. Billy is attentive, fully understanding of our personal needs and super fun. 10 stars for Billy!

Arriving at the gym and being tested etc is a dreadful experience that influences the whole experience! A smile! Being spoken to in a friendly not aggressive manor !

Located in best place in terms of accessibility. Too much crowded on Monday better you start ur gym day from Tuesday.

Best staff, most friendly and welcoming. This gym is great if you on the go and in the Sandton area. Parking and easy access.

It's the gym my Wife and I use

Great facilities and some of the friendliest staff I have come about in the VA realm. Well done guys.

This is a very nice gym. I like the way they divided the floor into exercise blocks. Also all the equipment is right there for you to use, you aren't looking around to search for things. Very well organized in my opinion.

Just wanted to thank Thato, Lynne and the rest of the crew for taking such good care of my 18 year old daughter after realising she was unwell yesterday. Thank you for all the follow up calls checking up on her, it's wonderful to train at a gym that is not only professional, but compassionate and caring too.

Probably one of the better Virgin actives in the greater Sandton Area

Karabo's shape class was the best. Karabo you rock!

Very good. Miss some of the pre Covid instructors. Debbie @ Pilates is great.

Clean neat. Well maintained.. excellent equipment. Wonderful facilities. Especially sunset roof top yoga.

Very beautiful gym Spacious and full of variety Definitely worth going to

Its always a bliss

Feels dated when compared to the newer gym's. Doesn't feel as well maintained and clean as it should be.

one of the biggest I have ever come across

The gym is big and has enough space

Very small and gets really busy.

No lounge ti chill after workout

It's quite small and has old equipment. Best time to workout, after work, is between 3pm - 4:30pm there after it gets stacked.

They have everything, can be very busy at certain times but overall a very nice place to workout.

Best equipment. Great staff

Friendly

Has all you need!! Shout out to my PT,Norman, and my bestie, Sihle who put me on!!

You learn more things everyday and met different people

Aged facility...equipment is nonstandard though

Surprised a brand of this size can’t invest in a generator instead of shutting down the whole gym when there’s a power cut 🤔 At a minimum all we need are lights!

Well equipped gym, neat and clean.

Great gym

Very average gym, I’ve been coming here for years and it seems to have just deteriorated over time. No generator during loadshedding, so the gym completely shuts down and closes at certain times. The Hygiene is poor in the steam rooms, always like a rest room. The sauna has remained “out of action” for over a month. It feels like they do everything they can to push members away. Parking is great and the spot is convenient otherwise I wouldn’t recommend this location, nobody cares here

Worst virgin active I've ever been to, the staff and ladies who gym here is very unfriendly, if you want to ask something to one of the staff members, they act assif you are interrupting their conversations. Why can't they disclose over the phone if they found the thing you've left here maybe, now i had to drive half an hour just so they can say sorry, we don't have it. Really a bad vibe in this virgin active.
