I love Virgin Active!! This one didn’t disappoint. Fresh, breezy, bright and clean. Makes you feel like a really good workout. Stop by and get something at the Nu restaurant downstairs. Really worth it.

Worked out at VA Foreshore this morning. It is the best out of all I have ever been to. Great views of the city and mountain. On the weights department, you get to view the Harbour and the freeway to The Waterfront.

This gym is a good facility. A shame about the staff and sales people. I signed my contract in the month of April 2022. Virgin advertised bags with new memberships. To date I have requested the staff at reception to get someone at sales to call or sort out my free bag. Low and behold a month later nothing. Reception ask for my details for the third time in 2 weeks and I just think it’s best to move facilities or find another franchise. You would think that after lockdowns service levels would pick up not become worse.

Poorly maintained equipment, the floors are filthy and dangerous with holes beneath the rubberised mats, shower at the sauna has been broken for at least 12 months. I mentioned all this to the club manager months prior as I am recovering from a knee reconstruction and need to specifically use the watt bike for rehab but all are poorly maintained and horrible to use. (I was told that they are awaiting quotes for new equipment). This club is horribly maintained and the only premium feature is the location. Please support local independent gyms with owner managers. The only reason I use VA (like most) is to justify the cost of vitality. It’s a small gym, that is very busy at peak times, classes are in frequent. If you go to run on a treadmill, it’s great but that’s about it. I do wish this gym was maintained as well as it was when it opened, but seems like profit is being sought through cost cutting and not excellence. What a shame.

I started at this gym in early 2021, still during lockdown. It was great cause back then there weren't ever really any lines and you didn't really need to wait for machines/benches.

Now that lockdown is over the gym is always very full early in the week, but by thursday/friday it's more empty.

Unfortunately it's kinda limited on space. There are only 2 benches for bench pressing, and only 2 squat racks.

They do have a pool which is really nice to use.

This is my everyday gym. The staff is amazing and very kind. The shower water is hot, equipment is clean. There's a mini restuarant inside for healthy meals.

This Virgin Active is quieter than the others in town, is in better condition than Wembley and has the best, most friendly staff! Been going here for over 4 years and have no regrets.
