Guest's Review of Virgin Active Health Clubs
2nd Sep 2009
Overall Rating
- Value for money
I've just joined Virgin Active (Canary Riverside) on a monthly basis, and went for my first visit today.
I had a session with a trainer, who was very supportive and patient, and I've found all the staff to be really nice, from the guy serving coffee in the cafe to the receptionists, to sales and trainer staff. It really put me at ease since I was very nervous to begin with!
The changing rooms are clean, with nice big showers, plenty of room, proper (i.e. big) towels, and Molton Brown toiletries, which is a nice bonus.
All in all, a nice start for someone who was nervous about going in the first place. I've read a lot of reviews complaining about the difficulty of getting out of gym contracts, and I know it is annoying but it really happens in every gym, not just Virgin, from what I can see. So, leaving the obvious irritation of not having flexible contracts of hassle-free cancellations, I'd say the Canary Wharf branch is very good, and much better than the local LA Fitness or even the prestigious Reebok Club in terms of space, facilties and staff friendliness.
