"I am so tired of instructors not turning up for classes"
"I have a complaint against the Wembley Virgin Active- I have communicated my issue with them not logging written down visits after load shedding 4 times now, and asked the manager Craig to call me, but still no action! Im fed up with the total lack of communication and competence of this club’s admin and reception staff"
"Wembley Square Virgen Active has excellent staff and good facilities"
"Great gym, friendly and helpful staff"
"It is very big, diverse and inclusive"
I am so tired of instructors not turning up for classes. Especially the abs classes. I even come to expect a non-arrival so i remind reception as i enter to send an instructor up for the class that's being offered, and still noone turns up!.It must have happened to me 50 times. It's UNacceptable. Not to mention mind boggling.

Wembley Square Virgen Active has excellent staff and good facilities. The staff members are helpful, knowledgeable and always friendly. I plan to contact the Wembley Square VA manager to share how much we a appreciate the extra mile one of the Club V staff members goes - she is beyond awesome.
Great gym, friendly and helpful staff. My only negative note will be the lack of equipment. Definitely need more plate loaded press machines. There’s only one for chest. Those are the quintessentials of every gym. Besides that, the equipment is clean and maintained regularly.
It is very big, diverse and inclusive.. It is very clean and smells good that's why I keep going back. It may be expensive but the truth is that it offers a lot more than the gym because you can go with your family there even kids, most gyms do not allow kids
You need to keep a careful eye on your accounts as this gym will overcharge frequently. Also, they provide zero assistance when you file a request for your money back or for any other sort of request you might have. I had an awful experience with this gym.
Only 4 stars coz it's pretty nice. Not 5 stars coz they don't fix/maintained equipment enough. Also consider not cleaning the treadmills at peak times. Because there been a few time I don't get treadmill coz they cleaning some and the rest of out of order
I love this gym a lot. But I’m starting to become frustrated by the facilities not working. The water facility by the kettle bells hasn’t worked properly in over a year. The sauna and steam room hadn’t worked in almost 2.5 weeks. Very annoying
It’s Sunday morning and the gym is packed. You then have cleaning crew with buckets of water poured red out over the floor with electric cables going through the water and gym members not even considered once. When you ask why the answer is
One of the best gyms I workout at since moving to Cape Town. And I need it too, thanks to all the yummy food I've been eating non-stop across the city since my arrival. Having a place to focus on my fitness really helps especially since I'm
Would give this place 0 stars if I could! DO NOT USE THIS GYM UNDER ALL COSTS! I was offered a 3 month free contract at the beginning of January 2023, to which I paid my activation fee. The sales agent Shu-Ayb Abrahams, who doesn’t know how
Joined this gym about two months ago. During that time, I often experience no hot water in the showers, very low water pressure and recently a day where the air conditioning was not working. These are all a part of the core offering. Other
I was offered a 3 months membership, and was told by the sales guy that it would be cancelled on the 3 month. On the 3 month I was told I had a 1 year membership and had to pay an outstanding fee for cancellation. I’m loosing almost a 100$
The best gym in the whole of South Africa in my point of view. Believe me as a ifbbpro bodybuilder i have been in my gyms in South Africa but this gym is special, from the staff, personal trainers and members i wish it was the first gym i
Worst service ever. Signed up my daughter in April and in October the team has no managed to open up an account for her. After registering her 3 time. We still nowhere. If virgin would not be supported by discovery there will be no reason
Administration, in the context of admin of this club l, leaves much to be desired. Recently ré-activated my membership after training elsewhere for 3 years, paid the activation fee 3 weeks ago. But here we are, 6 visits with access denied
4 stars because the Branch created an issue that I had to fight for them to sort out. After numerous calls and mails, I was finally put in touch with someone who understand the purpose of their work, Customer Service, It has always been a
Be carefull! This gym is not honnest regarding membership cancellation. If you plan on subsribing for a couple of month, they will make it as hard as possible to cancel the membership. I personally got a signed letter from a manager that
Out dated. Nothing is clean or organized. The gym layout isn’t efficient, have to walk far to get weights and take them back to your square. They are missing weights and not enough variety. nothing is packed away after use. The bathrooms
The sales associate at this branch mislead me about the membership package I signed up for. I was charged an additional 1600 r with a promise that I would get a refund. It has been 4 months now and they have not refunded my money. Every
Gym with lots of potential - lots of floor space, nice location, friendly staff, very clean and well-looked-after, and 2hrs free and plentiful parking. Just fell short with what I found to be a lack of equipment (unless its leg day), an
There are only 5 lanes in this swimming pool and most of the time (particularly during peak training times) 2 of these lanes are reserved for swimming coaching, leaving only 3 for the rest of the gym to use. How on earth is this allowed
Good gym with a pro sized swimming pool. Registration and all Admin related work however is a nightmare. System is archaic. You would think to register and manage a gym membership in 2023 could be easily done via an app or website. Not
The Virgin Active gym at Wembley Square in Cape Town is a great facility for fitness enthusiasts. The gym offers a wide range of equipment, including cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights, to cater to all types of workout
Easily the most overcrowded and under maintained gym I’ve been to anywhere in the world. For the price you pay and the sheer number of members the locker rooms should have more than three outdated toilets that there’s almost always a
Just switched to this VA after moving from Paarl. Overal impressed with the size and cafe inside, looks very modern however don’t feel as satisfied with the weight equipment, a lot of benches and leg machines however lacking in chest
Nice, but cramped and can be busy... especially between 5pm and 7pm. Good selection/range of machines and weights. Had a heated shallow pool in addition to the main large pool. Nü inside the gym, with smoothies not offered elsewhere
The sales associate at this branch mislead me about the membership package I signed up for as well as being able to cancel for free. Virgin Active increased my monthly debit order with no fore-warning either. Be very careful when
Clean, friendly staff. And probably the most important factor is that they're opening during regular load shedding times which makes it really convenient. They also have provision for backup power when load shedding hits.
Tried to raise the state of the facilities for last 4 months - with no change.. now needing to raise it on this platform.. They finally fixed the doors.. 2 weeks later completely covered in mould again..
Warning! Definetly dont use the gym as a tourist. I was there for two month. 6 month after leaving cape town they start to book money from my bank account. Looking forward how that is going to end.
Your best choice for a perfect body, the staff are friendly, the cleanliness of the place is at the highest level, and the pool water is really clean. This is what I was looking for. Thank you.
Great gym, parking lot does not accommodate taller vehicles, my van got stuck at just 2.1m height and also now in level 1 lockdown the Suanas are stil not operating which is a big let down!
I have been to my fair share of Virgin Active gyms, this one by far has the best equipment and the friendliest staff! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area to go there!
Great gym, love the layout plus all their are always very friendly and full of energy which is fantastic. All at NU also always amazing and friendly with absolute great service!
For the amount of members this gym is signing up everyday there isn’t enough equipment. Good luck finding substitute machines even when Google maps says it’s only slightly busy.
Underground parking with 2 free hours, the staff is so friendly, the layout of the gym is great, it’s always super clean and creating a membership was painless and quick ⭐️
Cockroaches in the bathrooms is always an unpleasant surprise. Equipment could be more up to date. Rewards vouchers weren't working at Nü either. Staff were friendly.
Lift broken for weeks, aircons are often not working, warm water from dispensers which are often not working…not great training conditions and I’m pregnant!
Probably the worst customer experience I’ve had in my entire existence. The front desk staff was rude and quite frankly unprofessional. She did not seem
Pam from the helpdesk was extremely helpful in explaining COVID-19 procedure and helping me with anything I needed. The NU staff were amazing too
This gym is big. There is plenty of equipment, and it's always clean. The aircon is also pretty awesome, unlike some of the other gyms.
Nice clean gym with a good range of facilities and friendly staff. No squash courts, but a heated pool and good selection of machines.
There is always some problem with this gym. It's either air-conditioning or badly maintained equipment or facilities not working.
Love the space and modern equipment. The view adds a lovely touch, sunset workouts are beautiful. Also one of the nicest pools.
Best gym, fantastic, friendly, helpful staff. Not posey nor crowded. Steam room is a waste of time doesn't get hot.
I was scammed by people in this branch, they made me pay an activation fee and never activated my membership.
One of the best VA's around, great layout of the gym and everything works during loadshedding.
Awesome gym, friendly stuff, ample equipment and amazing pool, the restrooms are clean too.
Womens showers have no privacy! What is half a door supposed to be?
