This gym is like my second home and it is a great place to train, just needs some urgent updates considering its unjustifiable price (+/- R1700)
1.) MOST IMPORTANTLY, please control the personal trainers. There are many of them who are straight out rude and deny you the use of a lot of equipment. They hog several machines at once and selfishly do not use them all, and deny you the use of the equipment they not using! If I have the same experience I had with one elderly male PTs again, I will most definitely be cancelling my membership. I cannot tolerate the selfishness and inconsiderate behaviour! I wish all the PT's could be as fair and kind as Warren and Andrew.
2.) Bathroom definitely needs some upgrades, showers are old, usually very limited water pressure and one or two of the showers do not even have hot water. Sauna and steam room are great though! (referring to mens change room)
3.) Classes are so extremely limited. I often have to travel to Alice Lane for some more interesting classes. There definitely needs to be something done about this. As a member of both VA and Moove Melrose, classes are much more enjoyable at Moove, and some classes even have the same instructors as VA Melrose.
Final Review: The price is totally unjustifiable (+/- 1700), compared to Moove (+/- R399). However, the welcome, polite and energetic energy at melrose VA just makes you want to stay! I may not be able to justify the price, however, the vibrance there is unmatched, even at 4:30am! The staffs' helpfulness, kindness and energy makes you want to come train!
