I joined the Virgin Active gym at Loftus last month and was expecting to be debited a discounted membership fee, as I am enrolled in the Discovery Vitality plan. However, I was charged the full membership fee instead. I was assured that a refund would be processed by Friday, November 8th, but to date, I have yet to receive it.
I have repeatedly contacted Virgin Active's customer care team to resolve this issue, receiving only assurances that they would look into the matter and apologies for the delay. I have also followed up numerous times with a consultant named Bothshelo, yet the refund remains outstanding.

I will also never recommend Virgin Active to any of my friends or family in the future and will not use the supposed "friend...
