Virgin Active - London

Had a membership here for about 4 months until I moved away. Pros would be it’s got a good location if you’re in the common area and the locker rooms and equipment are nice.

On the down side the gym floor is TINY for what you pay for. For anyone who works a 9-5. Before or after work it’s rammed and you have to wait for equipment and it’s not a good experience. The pool, hot tub, and steam/sauna are a great plus but again always found them all crammed or full.

Overall the gym is nice but I would say not worth the money. You’re better off at the Puregym on the high street.

All of the 1 star reviews here are true. This truest is a terrible gym. One of the smallest gym spaces I have seen. Changing rooms are always clean. There is never hot water in the taps and the steam room almost never works. Really don’t see the value for money here. There are a lot better gyms in Clapham with far better facilities. Do not waste your money on this “gym”

Was a member via my work for a year and it's very poor value for money. The swimming pool is its main attraction (as there are not many in the area) but it's either closed for maintenance or being used for swim lessons - it's tiny so unless you're there during super off peak times it's hard to use. The entire gym is dirty and very overcrowded - as is standard with the Virgin brand it's quantity over quality. I also just got very bad vibes/energy in there - very overpriced and a terrible gym overall.

It's about £160 pcm and just not worth it, wifi is terrible, gym equipment can be broken for too long. Steam room is noisy and lets out no steam. bad value for money, staff are great ill admit but that just doesnt do it, need better equipment wifi and steam room to justify price!

Below average gym for the price. Equipment is good but the positives end there. Constantly busy, unclean, full of screaming children at times and gymfloor is too small. They keep adding members and overcrowding is getting worst.

For the hefty membership fees, not worth it.

Insane how much they charge here for what you get. Sure the pool is good but for people who don’t use it (which is 80% of the regular goers) you are just given a tiny room that is ALWAYS packed, with very few weights and smoke!! There is a restaurant downstairs so the gym always fills up with smoke and I come home smelling like I was at a BBQ. Terrible terrible terrible. I hope a competing gym opens up soon.

Richard M.

completely unaffordable for a lackluster gym with little space and is extremely busy. Prices have increased drastically even in the last year with no improvement on the equipment. I'm going elsewhere.

This gym's motto is 'everything is broken, all the time, guaranteed"

Staff are nice but don't seem empowered to do anything to fix the myriad of problems.

Virgin Active don't seem to give a cr-p about their paying customers.
