Virgin Active sent a message on 8 July telling me my son - who turns 18 on 12 August, will change to an adult membership effective 01 August for R610.00 per month. What an underhanded business approach - if you're going to notify members of a membership change, you do so before month-end so that they have the opportunity to decide if this option works for them. I only have my membership so that he can go to the gym. I have not been back since Covid and rediscovered outdoor options and have no intention of returning. If you'd had the courtesy to notify me before the end of June, I would have given a month's notice on my membership and continued his. But because you intentionally wait a week after month-end to notify members, you now get me paying a double membership for a month. Appalling way to treat your customers. Additionally, closing your gym early at Sun Valley because you are not equipped for load shedding - you should refund members for your lack of planning. Equipment is sub-standard, too.
