  • Stacy Adams

Don’t bother wasting your time signing up at this gym. There are CONSTANT water and electricity outages (outside of the scheduled loadshedding). I understand that they have challenged with the municipality to contend with but perhaps consider hydrating your members with cheaper sourced water alternatives.

  • Lawrence N

Too many people for the amount of equipment available especially during peak time. Stretch area is too small. I'd avoid this gym if you need weights and your time options are limited to peak times. I haven't seen any Watt bikes on the floor. Otherwise I can't really vault it, it's modest.

  • Nosipho Mhlongo

Trevor and his manager Gaza are all about pushing sales at whatever cost. Gaza refuses to take accountability let alone apologies for the bad customer service his subordinates are rendering. Virgin active is a great gym but the experience of signing up was the worst thanks to these two.

  • Sihlali Musa

I've been coming here for sometime now. Its a great little facility with every equipment you might need and friendly staff. Even during load shedding they are operating. On the down side their steam room is unisex, which was a bit odd. All in all I would recommend this facility.

I recently rejoined the club through a sales consultant i must say I had a bad service im even thinking of going somewhere the consultant don't take their time to make you read the contract im now stuck with a wrong contract because anything they do is in a rush.

  • Joanne Bubb

Nice new studios, but a bit crammed in the equipment side. Spinning bikes are often faulty and the aircon seldom works efficiently. Staff are friendly but good instructors are rare. Bathroom facilities are clean but sometimes the toilet doors get stuck.

  • Olenka Christie

Love this gym love swimming without 500 people watching you - its relaxing and calm. I do enjoy the slightly unconventional setup as it's interesting and enhances the experience. It's not chaoticly busy - even peak times don't feel hectic. …

  • Sneaky Snake

Bellairs Virgin Active isba really great gym. The Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They are a joy to have a conversation with or to see when entering the gym. Personal trainers are actually qualified and some even have a background

  • Catherine

So the gym is great, the equipment is reasonable. Just really wish they did not mess up my request to have a one month membership, and more so, what is wrong with wanting a one month membership? Apparently you're trash if you ask for that,

  • Rebecca Lecheaux De Maison

the Kauai inside is being held hostage by “policy” that unless are members of this gym are unable to order/eat inside. Encountered very rude, need to be retrained in contact with the public Trevor and arrogant, pushy, impolite Pindile (?)

  • Rmak

Im sure the place must be nice inside but when i went to check on joining i was not given a tour around the place by the staff, they just talked to me over the counter at the entrance. Also it was very unprofessional with the male staff

  • Vanessa Reynecke

The staff are friendly enough and the gym clean however a number of the cardio equipment forever out of service, two of the three elliptical machines have been out of order for weeks now and the one that does work, the step is wonky so

  • Cheryll Macdirck

Definitely the best cardio machines out of all the Virgin activ in the area. Try it once, greeeaaattt experience ! You just need to have your Bluetooth headphones (AirPod included) and you good to go with any stuff to listen to while

  • Namhla Sithole

One of the best Virgin Active clubs. It may be small but you really don't feel it. They have everything you'll need for both cardio and strength training and the staff is lovely. And to top it off, the aesthetics are lovely

  • Andile Nkosi

Absolutely love it! One of their fitness instructors just volunteered to get me and my partner in shape guys, for someone who has never gymed before it really made me feel good to know I'm not in this journey alone

  • Kgotso Kekana

There’s an inside job with stealing peoples possessions. Happened to my best friends little brother two days ago. 31 May 2023. This isn’t the first incident I’ve heard of. Something needs to be corrected.

  • Munyadziwa Keorapetse

This gym is boujee. Fet like I was stepping into heaven It is so clean and has all the latest workout cardio machines. The aircon is strong and I love it because as I was sweating the fan was blowing

  • Szymon Welgus

My favorite Virgin Active Gym. Albeit a bit on the small side, it is quite roomy and well laid out. And the pool is secluded in the corner, no one staring at you while you swim from cardio machines

  • Annalene

I had numerous problems with the VA ap, as well as with surname change on system, rewards problems, under the old management. Discussed it with reception, and they logged queries. It was eventually

  • Theophilus Nenhanga

A great gym which comes with a great experience. The staff are friendly and helpful; and it's great to see them abiding by the covid regulations. However this is not the biggest gym out there.

  • Dominic Theron

Sales staff promise you so much but never get to doing it. Always excuses that they don't have stock of the bag that I was promised. Quick to sell but after the sale is made they don't care.

  • Mandisa Macleod

Very friendly and helpful staff. Love the privacy of the pool area - some branches have treadmills etc positioned facing the pool area and slightly elevated. At Bel Air, the pool feels less

  • Stan Makhanya

You will be lucky if your phone is not stolen,my phone was stolen and I tracked it and it was in the locker rooms for 6 hours and left gymn during staff shift change.What does that tell you?

  • David Couto

Friendly staff, always clean, mostly well maintained equipment. Also have to say the members are much more mindful of disinfecting equipment before/ after use than the other VAs I go to.

  • Jordan E

Highly recommend you do not sign up to this club. Sadly the excellent premises are let down by leadership. They will not assist you, they will not put in effort to resolve issues with

  • Nomali Ngobese

The club is clean, equipment is well mantained and has a diverse clientele. I have seen places where diversity works but here it seems a bit awkward. It is a good in and out place.

  • mush mush ayuby

The worse gym I have ever been. Half the machines don't work. The stuft are very rude and not helpful and every month they take different amounts from bank account. Useless gym

  • Kayleen M Olivier

5 stars for the staff working at Virgin active Bellairs. They are always friendly ! The gym is sparkling clean everytime I go there..which is at different hours of the day.

  • Roy Moyo

Staff is really helpful. Nice atmosphere to train in. Some of the equipment could do with a bit more polish but it works well enough. Hopefully it keeps getting better.

  • Jason Muller

Not a bad gym but very cramped (ie: only 1 squat rack). More equipment is needed; even though there are collectively 4 barbell machines, there are only 1 set of clips.

  • Cleo Rinkwest

Stunning gym but the sauna and steam room are unisex. I felt so uncomfortable I left without using it. I've been to every other VA and this is almost NEVER the case.

  • Mikhail Radjoo

Good gym, however the weights and machines are old and rusty. The dumbbells are also never put in the correct place so you spend time finding two of the same weight

  • Adel Albrecht

Love the aqua pool, sauna and all other facilities! The gym is always clean! Love the pilates classes they are awesome especially Saturday mornings at 8 with Des!

  • Rosa July

Bel airs is nicely updated in terms of equipment and floor layout, only thing missing is sanitizing sprays or wipes for members to clean the indoor cycling bikes.

  • Tonderai Mukandapi

Place needs more aircons at the back where there is heavy equipment. Air needs to circulate there. Had problems breathing during my morning exercises before.

  • Alma Pretorius

Absolutely adore the aqua pool! With Bonni as your instructor, you work really hard. Lovely to look out the windows over the roof and see the sky.

  • Alwyn Labuschagne

Never knew gyming could get better until I started at Virgin Active Bel Air, friendly and so helpfull staff. Very clean and proper equipment.

  • Fidel Banze

Great gym Staff highly professional and customer service is also excellent The receptionist are all friendly great smile

  • Tanya Boshoff

Lovely gym with everything you need to keep you fit and healthy. Good layout and use of space, not crowded at all.

  • André Laubscher

It's good enough. There's a bunch of equipment I wish was in the gym but is not probably due to it's small size.

  • Prakshla Subroyal

This gym is always clean, the staff are so friendly and the vibe is perfect for your workout routine

  • MD Motimele

Well-spaced, clean, friendly staff, training options and classes and not overly-crowded.

  • ian pick

Not for me I don't enjoy being belittled by staff. Muduzi ... keep treat people poorly.

  • Andrew Milne

Love this gym!! Really enjoy the pool not being in full view of everyone
