Having acquired Holmes Place in 2006, our review of Virgin Active health clubs focuses on their approach to wellbeing through their 'Life Centres' and 'City' fitness venues. In short they have over 600,000 members, so will our review of Virgin Active be favourable?

First Impressions
 Virgin Active clubs are promoted as social venues that offer a complete range of activities and facilities. We were welcomed as we entered the gym and the staff were attentive and very helpful.
They explained about the wellbeing approach and their philosophy for catering for all - showing us the cafes, free internet facilities, computer games and music listening posts.
The facilities were superb - using Technogym, you simply insert your 'key' and it sets up the machine with your settings. There was also a great cross section of older and younger users at the time we went - not somethgin you always see.
The only negative side that we found, was that late in the afternoon it was busy! My local gym is never busy at 3.30pm - so it shows how popular this place is.
