Went to gym on the Tuesday the equipment was out of order for repair, go back on the Thursday and guess what same equipment is still under repair, for a gym that is so busy and has such a small weight section that shouldn't happen, people pay their fees, maintain the equipment. Some nights when you need motivational music, you can't concentrate because it seems like a staff member has plugged in their phone and is listening to his/her favorite music, that isn't suitable for training music, totally rediculous. This gym does not uphold a good standard at all. Winter the staff feel they need the gym to be warmer, so the aircon heat is turned up, to bad for the gym members who are training and need to be cool. The gym that keeps giving bad service, had 3 members sitting on equipment in a row blocking the way watching the local soccer on the TV. Nothing gets done. Oh and the virgin active app sucks. Also dont bother connecting to their wifi, I used it for 1 night, and it said I've reached my Cap for the...
Read moreI had the pleasure of attending Andre Visser's Pilates class at Virgin Active Glenvista this morning, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share my experience. Having started my Pilates journey with Andre back in 2018, I had to step away when I moved from the South of Johannesburg to the West Rand. However, I recently rejoined and was eager to reunite with his exceptional classes. Even after a few years, Andre's unique approach to instruction remains unmatched. His ability to create a challenging yet nurturing environment allows participants of all levels to thrive. I have been a Virgin Active premium member, which grants me access to clubs nationwide (except the collections clubs), and I can confidently say that there’s no one quite like him. Andre is a true gem in the fitness community, and I highly recommend his classes to anyone looking to deepen their Pilates practice or simply have a fantastic workout. Thank you, Andre, for your dedication and for making such a positive impact on my...
Read moreGym interior is quite beautiful. The equipments are decent, relatively new. However it gets over crowded. The weights section is too cramped. it's either that there isn't enough free weights or there's no one to reorganize them and it's all scattered. The changing room is also too cramped. The aircon should be switched on during these summer months especially when it gets over crowded. At least turn it up so people could at least know it's on. For some reason I think that the hot water is never hot enough. Whenever I take a shower, if I put the mixer in the middle (i.e. between hot and cold), all I get is cold water. If I place it on hot, it's warm and the water pressure is just too slow. Overall this branch is ok (I think). A bit over priced for their services which could be improved. I think that virgin active could do a better job competing with other gyms. I hoped my review is taken into...
