I really like the pool here. Normally always get a lane wtihout a wait. Changing rooms kept well maintained by very nice and attentive staff.
Gym floor could be a bit bigger but you have everything you need and this is a well located gym for anyone working in Sandton.

This gym is super clean and the staff really friendly. I have been to many gyms in South Africa and this is def my fav. I forgot my ipad and shoes here and they always found. Keep up the honestly and great work.

I don’t mind paying the premium fee. The gym service, perks and location is everything that you’d want, Especially for busy and on the go professionals.

Virgin Collection is very exclusive and sophisticated gym. Though you premium is high, value proposition deserves the price. It's not crowded and customer service is excellent. For business and professionals, you have access to thier boardroom and meeting areas. You provided with a variety of fresh fruit. Parking is secure and always available.

The gym has many advantages and is one of the best of the classics in South Africa, but there's definitely some work that needs to be done:

1.) Most of the staff really are not very polite, and make you feel quite un-welcomed. Most of the time I am at Alice Lane, I feel as if the staff act as if we are the reason they dislike their jobs, which could be true, but as a very introverted client, its doubtful. Definitely wish they could up their game, such a turn off to train in such miserable energy. Cannot even compare with the kindness, welcoming and politeness of the Melrose Staff.

2.) Equipment is mostly new, which is great, but there is almost always a waiting time, there is very limited machines, and considering a membership is roughly R1700, this should not be an issue.

3.) I still do not understand why some things are still unavailable due to covid, such as the MacBooks. It is not as if I need to use them but it is such a waste to just see them there, unavailable.

Final Review: Many of the aspects of the gym make it worth its prices. However, the staff's attitudes and lengthy waiting time can definitely make you want to downgrade.

This is the best gym in the country easily. And it's got a rooftop workout area. And the parking lot reflects the clientele
