Out of all the times I walked into my local virgin active, I never thought about this,
Good cutting edge stuff right here, News you can use :cautious:
 
I have not paid for virgin active in 20 years. Still on my original contract where I paid R700 join up fee and never missed going the 24 times a year then later on 36 times.

I have met a few people like myself, VA must hate us
 
I used to have a Virgin Active account, but use my country club membership now to use the gym there. Its quicker to get to the VA for work but since there's a gym on that membership no point having 2.

I remember trying to cancel my VA account some years ago, my word it was the hardest thing ever they hit you with specials, then your health importance then this then that lol...
 
What might surprise people who aren’t Discovery Vitality members is just how much of a discount you get. I pay R257/month for Virgin Active … so Discovery is definitely subsidising that pretty hard. I mean it’s worth it, have you seen the cost of at-home gym equipment? I’m back in the gym grind and enjoying the gains.

Going up from 152 to 212 (that is with the -75% vitality discount). I spoke to the call center and apparently it is no longer meant to be called merely a gym - it is a social health and wellness center or some such. They spewed all sorts of "oh but there will be ice baths and cool down areas etc" (not that my gym has any of that - in fact it is one of the cheaper virgin actives around, doesn't even have a pool) Not a train smash in terms of affordability - but if I was on full price and got hit with this - it would be .. more unpleasant
 
loving going on prepaid, drive the staff nuts trying to convince me to take a full contract out, not knowing I'm never going to take a contract in a million years.

did the calculations its R305 pm for a year on vitality, but if you go once off its R120 per visit, if you visit 3 times in a month, it costs the same, but if you visit less, you save the activation fee and al the nonsense when you aren't that much of a gym person to begin with.

you literally see the staff begging me to take a contract out, not knowing how crazy I am, thinking I'm a normal person like them.
