Virgin Active Bourke Street: Opinions
Fantastic experience: So fortunate to work nearby. Best gym ever.
Fantastic experience: I never knew such service and quality existed until I set foot in this health club! Honestly the best place achieve results whether you're a newbie, intermediate or advanced gym goer. Love it!!
Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been to!
Fantastic experience: I LOVE this gym. Pros, there is absolutely loads of equipment, you never have an issue getting on an apperatice. Cons. The lockers could be bigger for peak periods on mondays The atmosphere is really friendly and everyone is really friendly. I can't wait for a second Gym to open so more people can enjoy the facilities.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to workout! One of the staff member Catherine was very helpful to show me around the place for my first time and I had a great workout session!
Fantastic experience: I am a Fitness First platinum member and have been for 6 years and only signed up to Virgin Active for the Reformer classes after a CFL and ATFL ankle injury. However, Virgin Active Bourke St has become my main gym for both strength training and classes…everything about the Virgin Active is superior. - Staff are really friendly and helpful - Facilities are nice, bathrooms are always clean and well equipped - Bathroom supplies such as hand wash, body wash etc smell soooo good - An online system is used to view and book classes. They have never cancelled classes that have been scheduled to run. Nothing worse than rocking up to a cancelled class! - Classes are conducted very well. The classes actually have thought and are run by qualified trainers. - The class format changes based on days, trainer etc, no two days are the same. The trainers are not reading off some piece of paper pre written to follow for all of eternity like other gyms lol. The only benefit of me holding the Fitness First membership now is to access multiple locations and the 24-7 availability. I really recommend any of Adam/Anne/Mahsa’s classes during the week or Jase’s reformer classes which are run on weekends . They are the BEST. Reformer has improved my core strength and mobility significantly. I’m no longer quad dominant so I’ve been able to squat heavier! It’s those little things that make lifting so much easier, yay Anne/Stu also conduct Hot Yoga Flow classes at the Collins St club which are fab for strength and recovery. If you work or live in the city, Virgin Active is the way to go
Fantastic experience: Great gym! Friendly staff and it has all the equipment that any athlete needs... plus lots of space (with the exception of the peak hours after office)
Fantastic experience: Very good liked this one lots to choose from very good virgin active
Positive experience: Very helpful and friendly staff however, I don’t see the appeal for the price point at this gym. Collins street, I can see the appeal
Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality
Positive experience: Always friendly staff here! Good clean facilities. The pool is amazing- five lanes of aquatic pleasure!
Fantastic experience: Love this place. Been my gym for 10yrs
Fantastic experience: You know, these guys are always lovely and welcoming. Whether its for a workout or a casual swim in the pool, theres great facilities and friendly staff. Its quite a pricey gym but they put on a hell of a lot of classes for members. Theres always something to do in the gym. The instructors are really professional, give lots of options and are inclusive to everybody who comes to the classes. I really think they care that you have a good time whilst working out. Its annoying that sometimes the spa has been our of action quite a bit but these things happen. It also must be really hard to adapt to the ever changing covid rules but they do it seamlessly. They’re a credit to the virgin brand! The only piece of constructive feedback id give is that it would be great if you could sell reusable bottles in the gym. Or have some paper cups or something for water, because i just can’t bring myself to buy a bottle of Voss. I think you could sell t-shirts and running shorts as well tbh, make a bit of cash from us forgetful folks and i’m sure they’d be good. :-)
Fantastic experience: Has to be the best gym in Melbourne. Absolute luxury - the spa and plunge pool are unbelievable. I wish they opened 1 hour earlier and closed 1 hour later though. 6am is tight when you squeeze in an hour sesh, sauna, plunge, shower get ready its already 8am. Maybe I am being spoilt here with the sauna though. Even 10:00pm close would be ideal, finish footy training and then go in for a sauna but 9:00pm is too early.. Would love if they turned the sauna up a bit as well. When people walk in and out so often it always drops the temperature significantly. 90 degress would be perfect I reckon.
Fantastic experience: Best place in melbourne, my second home
Fantastic experience: Very well appointed gym, a shame that there isn’t more locations.
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with fantastic facilities and very good instructors. Extremely sad to have to leave !
Positive experience: Been a member for over a decade, love the place, is like my second home.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, one of the best if not the best gym franchise in Melbourne. However, it does need a renovation and rejig of equipment to better suit the space. I am sure there is a way to change the layout to incorporate more benches and squat racks
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! It has eveything you can think of, I really wished I had found it sooner. It’s a bummer Virgin Active isn’t in New Zealand yet! Would do amazing in Auckland!!
Fantastic experience: Very nice staff at reception. Great change facilities, showers etc. I very much enjoy the sauna and spa. Gym is equipped with just about everything you'd ever need.
Fantastic experience: Ive done bikram, fitness first, fernwood, pilates, yoga etc and this is the best place Ive ever used. Cool stuff: genuine big pool, big sauna, gorgeous spa area, ladies locker room has plenty of space, flattering lighting, GHD straighteners and hairdryers, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in each shower, heaps of lockers, theres endless classes, netflix etc on half the machines, lots of cardio equip, weight machines, never feels crowded. Its really honestly worth the money. They even have sleep pods. Its bloody awesome. Going in a few times a week for about 45 mins is incredibly helpful when you have a full time office job, and Vigorous Thai massage is across the road, you can grab neck and shoulder rub for like 20 bucks afterwards. Heaven. I noticed a couple of lukewarm reviews below regarding it looking tired or needing an upgrade. Im not sure what those folks are used to, I suppose Ive used lots suburban gyms and theyre pretty average. It really is a very nice feeling space. Try it out.
Fantastic experience: Virgin Active is a wonderful gym- I love both gyms and I've been a member for a good few years. The reception staff are always friendly and greet you and I thoroughly enjoy the range of group fitness glasses (eg Zumba, body balance, Body Pump, Body Combat, Body Attack, Pilates reformer classes etc). There is a pool, jacuzzi pool, sauna and rock climbing wall as well if you are regular users of this. Even though I work in the Northern suburbs and live 20 minutes drive away from the Bourke St gym (35-40mins in peak traffic), I try my best to come here as I really value the excellent instructors that Virgin Active hires. I also appreciate that they are trying to improve all the time and will regularly send out client feedback surveys, and also have recently created a star-based response system to provide feedback on classes. They also take on feedback to provide 'masterclasses' and other fitness/health options to members too. It is a busy gym and getting more popular- but given all of what I've highlighted above,it's no wonder as it really is a 'health club' and I thoroughly enjoy coming here :D!
Fantastic experience: Clean and modern. staff is very friendly. can't ask for anything more.
Fantastic experience: expensive, but good services and well-equipped.
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Amazing facility. Great equipment, friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Great people and a great variety of options for fitness .
Fantastic experience: Perfect coffee
Fantastic experience: Very good gym, with good equipment, space and amenities. Been to a lot of gyms both in CBD and suburbs this is by far the best equipped all round. For those people complaining about price it’s like comparing a hatchback with a SUV. You get what you pay for.
Fantastic experience: Really good machines and nice trainer
Fantastic experience: Best Gym in the CBD
Fantastic experience: Outstanding gym, positive and friendly staff, great vibe.
Fantastic experience: Good value and excellent equipment. Great range of classes and excellent appropriately trained staff.
Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the best gym I've ever been to. Beautiful and spacious building.. feels much better than the usual cramped gyms we all know. Enormous range of equipment, most of which is now brand new (all replaced in dec). Lockers and showers are great to... clean, never smell, and plentiful. Pool/spa/sauna are all being renovated so I can't speak for them. Staff always have a smile and are very approachable. I was a member when the gym first opened years ago, and now work nearby so joined as soon as I could. No where else compares. It's definitely expensive at $30+ p/w but worth every penny.
Fantastic experience: This isn't any gym: it's a health club, and from the moment you arrive until you leave, you are always greeted by friendly and bubbly staff, even at 6am on a freezing winter morning. Everything you can possibly look for can be found here: loads of different classes on offer, great variety and quality of equipment, pool & sauna, powerplate, spin, yoga and pilates studios, approachable personal trainers, spacious and modern locker rooms. And with a second club in town now, you can access even MORE classes. I absolutely love it.
Fantastic experience: Good classes. Great helpers. And lovely pool.
Fantastic experience: Exquisite. Best gym I've ever seen. This place is now my second home i can't believe what i was paying for Fernwood all those years. No comparison. Virgin Active is head and shoulders above the rest.
Fantastic experience: Happy Birthday! And thanks for the Crisp free porridge.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities
