About Virgin Active
Have we met? We just might be the club you're looking for. At Virgin Active, we help our members to live happily ever active. For us, living active is more than just building muscles, dropping a few pounds or breaking a record. It’s about whatever makes you happy. It’s energy. It’s vitality. It’s that indefinable yet incredible awesome feeling you get from moving your body the way it’s meant to move.
So much more than a gym. Any gym can make you sweat, but at Virgin Active we do it in style. Not to brag (ok, maybe a little) but our health clubs are quite simply world-class. From swimming pools, spas and saunas, to spacious workout areas and premium, state-of-the-art equipment.
