I have trained in a lot of gyms over the years and know what levels and quality of service from your gym means but virgin active Amanzimtoti takes the cake, it is by far the most pathetic and disgusting excuse for a gym! It should not even be aloud to run for another day further! Everyday there is pieces of used tissue paper lying on the floor and no one picks it up. The weights are always scattered around, there are never weights available because the gym is overpopulated, I understand you want to make money but then get more equipment. The cables have no G clamp to hook onto, their are never staff on the floor to assist! The air con is now not working, is this a gym? Where is the board of inspectors? I'm embarrassed to say I train there but for the money we pay this is not service delivery!

In the hopes that management will want some feedback on the recent 'upgrade' that took place at the Amanzimtoti Virgin Active, here is my input: In short, the circuit machines have now been thrown together with the weights in the weight area and there is absolutely no more space to have any type of decent gym session. The massive old circuit area is now a huge 'stretch' area with vast open spaces. I don't understand the logic behind this. Basically 3/4 of the gym members are now all shoved in together in the smallest section of the gym. Please tell me this is just temporary. If not I will certainly move to the local Muscle and fitness along with many other members I have spoken too. No one is happy with this 'upgrade', which is not an upgrade in any sense of the word.

  • iBrand King

It's a club that's been operating for many years and in its time it's seen decent changes and fair upgrades. I recently had the pleasure of interacting with the new club manager who is very inviting and keen to engage with members. Been visiting this spot for over y years and have seen some good improvements . Unfortunately due to location its situated in its not likely to get the upgrades like some of the other areas anytime soon but it still has everything at your disposal for a good complete work out. 2 front office staff, Pearl and Sthabile are absolutely fantastic. Friendly , polite and are motivating post covid you certainly want to be met with by these kind of staff members as they motivate you to come to the gym.

  • Erika Swart

The gym upgrade is very dissapointing. What happened to the circuit? I went to virgin active centurion with my daughter, that you can call a gym. There is two pools, a hot Jacuzzi a cold jacuzzi, very hot one and one for one person. Two steam rooms, one sauna. Different rooms for classes. The spinning class is so big you don't have to sit on top of the over person and could smell the other person's bum in front of you. Kuiwa restaurant. Virgin active Amanzimtoti is a very depressing gym! The photos are from VIRGIN ACTIVE CENTURION PRETORIA! Well done Centurion I LOVE YOUR GYM!

  • Derick Jooste

They have friendly staff and the club is clean. It is a fairly decent club. Covid regulations are complied with. Have regular group workout sessions. Descent workout music playing. Locker rooms are clean and have the necessity that you need. But... The equipment is lacking, it is outdated, a bit rusted, it is a guessing game on what weight you are exercising with as the numbers are faded. Most of the weight machines and benches have worn upholstery. I expected more... In closing, overall I enjoy this club and get my workouts done.

  • Elaine Ngwane

This Gym should be a 5 star, the atmosphere is unique, classy and posch yet vibrant and fast paced...there is a variety of equipment and the bathrooms and toilets are clean, there are fitness instructors on the floor to help you use the machines if you are still new to the fitness world...Personal Trainers too are there to help you on setting and achieving your personal goals.

  • Pranesh Haripersad

Loadshedding has been around for years now and the gym has made no attempt in securing emergency lights around the gym, the gym is absolutely dark during loadshedding that it becomes a safety risk and have to evacuate people. Absolutely poor planning from the management of Toti gym. Most disappointing gym in terms of equipment and layout compared to the others.

  • Nitesh Rambalie

Friendly staff, however equipment are dated, when I say dated I mean ancient. I've trained at gyms in PE and JHB, and other gyms in DBN, and you can't really compare Toti Virgin Active to those gyms. Apart from the Virgin Active signage and the re arranging of the equipment, it would pass for the old health and racquet branded gym.

  • Janice Whyte

Very clean and welcoming gym. Equipment being cleaned consistently. Never too busy and plenty of the same equipment pieces so not too much of a wait if you are waiting for a particular machine. Changing rooms clean and wet patches wiped up almost instantly. Staff very welcoming and accommodating.

  • Lerrin Coetzee

I think amanzimtoti virgin active is so neglected. Broken equipment, poor management and water problems. Not even a fan on during load shedding and no contingency plans. The only thing they have going for them is the classes and instructors. Without those this gym is abysmal!

  • Vittorio D'Amico

Loads of machines don't work, and of those that do work, TV doesn't work on a number of them. Service provider signal, for the most part, is non existant or so weak that it's useless. The staff, while very friendly, lack training in Virgin Active membership procedures.

  • Devon Isaacs

Gym membership prices go up but equipment stays the same. Gym is very small and it gets extremely cramped in peak times. I understand its peak time but you can hardly walk around and you wait 15 mins for one piece of equipment. Otherwise in the morning its pleasant.

  • Joshua Henwood

When trying to cancel my contract the man i was speaking to over the phone was rude and unpleasant and when i asked for further assistance couldn't help me in any way. The dumbbells are old and need to be replaced. Equipment is often dirty and oily

  • Nikita Stead

The only thing wrong here is getting your membership can take hours. The people are rude and want to rush it off ,their system is always crashing and it takes really long to get to a machine from Monday to Wednesday ,as it is packed with people

  • Akash Sewpersad

It's just okay. The facility is a bit small for the amount of patrons the gym has. There is sometimes a wait to use some of the equipment. The equipment is a bit out dated compared to those from other Virgin Actives around the country.

  • Nico De Bruyn

Not very pleased. I pay full membership, but only receive a portion back. More than 10.machines are out of order due to upholstery work, the gym is a mess, weights and benches all over, mo pins and clamps at the cable machines.

  • Pieter Uys

There's been a huge improvement in general at Virgin Active Amanzimtoti since the new manager arrived about a month ago. Cleanliness, tidyness and maintenance is much improved, and it's a pleasure to train there again.

  • Siphephelo Gcabashe

The gym is well appointed and has pretty much everything you need. Unfortunately, it is a bit on the small side, it doesn't have a sauna and the WiFi isn't configured to work with your MyVirginActive credentials (yet.)

  • Morgan Potgieter

The club has potential but maintanance effort and the liitle things are neglected this club would be out of business just from customers service in Gauteng ; great vibe dissapointting equipment and facilities

  • Brett Holm

The gym equipment is very very old and rubbish. The amount of members they have and the gym fees, you would think the equipment would be good like the other virgin gyms. Arbour crossing has better equipment.

  • Chantelle Rip

In comparison to other virgin actives in the area, this is your low budget equipment virgin active. Unfortunately the equipment is substandard, and if anything, the pool is the only real attraction here.

  • Craig Bouchier

The gym is clean but the equipment is old like very, very old. I have been a Virgin Active member for about 13 years and this equipment is older than when I joined at Virgin Gateway all those years ago

  • JJ Oberholzer

So sad that you have nobody on your floors to help newbies. Trying to figure the machines out on your own, no wonder your gym membership is the 1st thing one cancel. I understand COVID, but nobody?

  • nonhlanhla majola

Except for the swimming pool,the large studio and the generous cool air from the airconditioning there is not much else to look foward to. The equipment is so outdated and shabby,its embarrassing.

  • Sesh Mthombeni

Great especially after the renovations. But the water doesn't move well and freely to the drain when showering esp around the peak time. You ended standing on a pool of dirt for other bathers.

  • Ryan Martin

Non existent and unfriendly staff. As if they are doing you a favour by standing there and just looking at you. Not used to this type of service delivery.. But then again it is Durban...

  • Ernest Smith

Always enjoyable when i go here. Sometimes it is busy which can be expected when you go during busy times . Facilities are good with upgrades happening every so often to the equipment.

  • Jarrett Bust

A small gym compared to others most equipment is good but not the latest that Virgin Active has to offer. Parking is a big problem in peak hours. Gym is generally clean and well kept.

  • Adrian Govindasami

The staff really need training on customer service. Queries are responded to many weeks later. I suggest that one finds a gym with better customer service. Equipment however decent

  • Adele Holtzhausen

I enjoy this gym however the technogym equipment is not linked to the internet therefore I cannot track my progress. The gym is kept very clean at all times. I can't complain

  • Hennie Dimba

Oh what a beautiful small club, thumbs up to the club mananger who renovated that club the swimming pool isthe club is sparkling clean and the staff is so welcoming …

  • Janet Haines

Disappointed My son who is a student and rugby player in Stellenbosch cane home and went to the gym to do one session. You charged R250. That is daylight robbery ! This

  • Zane Havemann

Can get busy and people don't exactly like to pack weights away or clean equipment after use. A very good gym but the people can have more consideration for one another

  • D4ngr_Duk3

Finally upgrading their equipment. Slowly but surely. Lacking on some with only a few a week. Check which classes you like before you go on the Virgin Active App

  • Tanya Boerop

Its just always busy not enough parking for the amount of members the gym has everyday. But still nice to get your excersize in for the day. Great atmosphere!!!

  • Rudy Maritz

The gym is overcrowded most times. There is a lack space and exercise machines. Front desk staff are not always polite. Cleanliness is good over and above all.

  • Carel Venter

Bathrooms always dirty and toilets leaking. Machine limited, outdated and broken. On some days aircons don't work and customers aren't notified of this prior.

  • Andile Gumede

No aircon, old old old rusty equipment & weights, upholstery old, no Kauai... This is worst virgin active to visit. Feel bad for resident members.

  • Tyron Moodley

Never too busy which is a positive. Friendly staff. Minus 2 stars because of out dated equipment and dumbells that are close to falling apart.

  • Michael Govender

Would need more machines and better maintenance on current machines. Becomes frustrating when 5 people are standing and waiting for machines

  • Robyn Campbell

Thank you VA! When half of Toti had no water, you were still there for us! I was able to take a hot shower after my workouts this week.

  • Siboniso Lesley

Needs new equipment, the cycling bikes are old and broken. Instead of buying new digital bikes they revamp the whole gym, for the why?

  • Cecile Botes
