Virgin Active Gym Balfour Park

I'm so happy here, I absolutely love it. Ive been going for 3 weeks and it has been blissful. Most of the staff members that I've interacted with are bubbly and/ or friendly which makes waking up to go to the gym at 5am a pleasant experience. It just sucks that the Kauai in the gym isn't operational during loadshedding. But even the staff that works there is so kind and efficient in what they do, they can quite seamlessly handle multiple orders and enquiriesat once. I also adore the sitting/ working area and love that the changing rooms, loos and showers are always clean. I'd think no one used that if I wasn't there so often, that's how well kept they are. It's a really conducive environment.

Great service,very clean gym !the stuff is really friendly especially a guy called Phemba.

Absolutely shocking. Staff say that my boyfriend (who I live with!) may not spot me because of social distancing. So by all means, come and have half a workout. Machines that are blocked off do not make sense. I understand if they are right next to each other but surely they should skip one in between then? And if a machine is all alone then why block it off? And machines that are more than 2m apart? Hate this club for it's lack of common sense! Virgin, do better!

This is a modern, clean gym with friendly staff. Only a steam room, no sauna since it is a bit smaller. Brand new treadmills and bicycles, nice floor area and some weights. Although it is a smallish gym it has everything you need. Beautiful pool where you can watch a great sunset...for real!!!
