Latin rhythms take over in our Zumba® Party featuring dance legend Maria Teresa Stone so book in for your full-body workout! NSW tour continues at Pitt Street on Tuesday 19 September at 6:30pm.

Got locked out of classes due to PC scheduling error. Whilst first initially offered a waiver of the month's fees, this was subsequently retracted by the manager David Twogood. I'm also moving interstate with no Virgin Active gyms in QLD - and despite being advised prior to signing that my cancellation fee would not be applicable in this circumstance, lo and behold it is. Corporate greed at its finest. I used to have a lot of faith in the Virgin brand but not any more. Poor effort all round, which is such a pity as the PT staff are always fantastic.

We go to extraordinary lengths to deliver something unexpectedly better. Plus we're big on the little things. Think smoothies and cold scented towels after every workout, to a blow dry bar every Thursday and Friday night. Book a free tour today: https://virg.in/JRP

As a member of Virgin Norwest for the past 4 years I have really appreciated the opportunity to share the Virgin active experience with my children by taking them along to the family splash swim sessions. This is an important time for family time with the bonus of a combined exercise activity. This added value to an expensive gym membership helped to justify the higher fees than other gyms in the area by making use of this perk.



Today I raced back from work to collect my daughter from school to get back over to Virgin for family splash. Only to be told by duty manager Krystal that the policy no longer offered complementary family splash and that unless we paid $15 or else joined by daughter up for Club V we could not swim. I was in dismay at this abrupt change of policy and that the enforcement of this policy was immediate with no discretion to even let us in that day unless we paid, what manager doesn't have discretion to do this?



My husband joined this gym only a few weeks ago with one of his motives being that he could join me and our children at family splash.



Charging for family splash is a massively short sighted decision. You are dramatically reducing the customer experience by charging for this instead of it being a perk of membership.



To charge $15 per session which is only held once a day and in one lane of the pool is overpriced and so limited for a chargeable service.



This could be a significant deciding factor on current members remaining at Virgin who have up till now accepted paying a higher membership to enjoy this perk.



New members may choose other gyms when such a unique perk separated Virgin from the hundreds of gyms in the area.



I will make sure to share this reduction in membership inclusions within the many parenting Facebook groups I belong to to ensure that as many people know about this as possible. In the Hills District alone this should be at least 13,000 local Mums.



I would urge you to reconsider this policy and realise the damage this will cause to your brand.

MEET MALCUM!
· Five words to describe what yoga means to you? Silence, strength, softness, give in, effort ....so many things - most of them opposites! · What brought you to yoga? ... Injury, I was quite messed up by horses, motorcycles and martial arts. · What and when was your first yoga experience? 2000 - the Yoga Academy of Pune, India · If you had to teach one thing in yoga, what would that be? Silence. · What and/or who inspires you? Students rather than masters. Everyday folk who fight against the pressures of time, just to get to a class. · Least favourite yoga pose and why? Krounchasana!!!! Especially on the left leg. It seems to use every part that I’ve injured in the past. · Pranayama you practice most? Why? Viloma. Refreshing yet relaxing.
Malcum has been teaching with Virgin Active for a several years now and is one of our most popular teachers. His students love the experience he brings into his classes and they love receiving personalised assistance to deepen their practice. We are lucky to have him teaching Hatha Yoga at Virgin Active Norwest every Tuesday at 12.15pm. All levels welcome!

With Virgin Active you can have your summer and eat it too.

Good morning Virgin, after another incredible weekend exploring Sydney’s surroundings, I’m finding it increasingly harder to set that 5.00am alarm but I manage it. Jumping out of bed this morning, I took that short but refreshing walk over to the virgin gym for the 5.45am Gridlean class with Jess. Arriving 5 minutes early I took to the grid and had a little stretch with the other 19 members. 5.45am came and nothing no Jess, now this is where we normally see Jess galloping up the stairs like a woman possessed with a hair style similar to Michael Jackson in the 1980’s but not today. I have to point out this is probably the 3rd time now and the class have started to take bets how many minutes she will be late, also the look on the other PT’s faces just reads “ oh again!”. I’m sure Jess is fabulous young lady but I get the impression Jess isn’t a morning person, either that or she loves a cheeky Sunday sesh making the most of this autumn sunshine ( who can blame her ) I’m sure you will agree starting the week on the right foot is incredibly important especially when you have a 9:00am sales meeting. I’m guessing you are aware of this issue I’m highlighting as I’ve just tried to book Gridlean for next Monday and it’s vanished. Will this class be replaced for your early risers? Hats off to Aiden who did a little dance, kinda worked out what the class was and got on with it.
