Virgin Active Gym Cresta

I have been going to this gym for the past eight Years and I only have two complaints:1) The free weights section as well as the machine section was a bit old an outdated when I first visited the club eight years ago. Since then no equipment has been upgraded or added to the before mentioned sections. I really believe that it's time to invest in new equipment such as VA Groenkloof or VA Honeydew2) It really does not take a large generator to keep all the lights on. Extremely frustrating when the club is forced to close at night when loadshedding hits.The club is clean and well managed by friendly staff. The team is doing their best with what they have.I do however believe that the club will be required to upgrade their equipment if they wish to retain their existing clientele as well as attract new members.

I must say The Cresta Virgin Active Club has one of thee most interesting entrances I have come across one with an elevator one which is stairs a very lovely touch for the enthusiastic gym goer.Small gym compared to others yet it has every facility you can think off. Vibe as always optimistic , extra bonus if they have a Kauai. Ample parking and lovely guards ....Best highlight was the view over looking the streets while you work out.

Great gym. Friendly, helpful and professional staff. No need to feel self conscious here no matter what body type. We're all here to get fit, so we can live healthier lives. Feel free, and do be curtious to fellow gym users (staff and clientele). Thank you Karabo, Fortune and Dudu.

They don't have adjustable cable machines for your chest workouts, no sauna but there is a steam room in the men's bathroom. Decent amount of equipment available

Load shedding has been here for years now, and is clearly here to stay. No back up power to even keep the lights on. It’s easier for staff to usher the people out and go home earlier. Really disappointing as other gyms are making more of an effort during load shedding.

I have been a member of virgin active on and off for the past 15 years. With the membership fees being so expensive I do expect Cresta to have a generator during loadshedding. Equipment is seriously outdated and sometimes machines can't lift the different weights because the machines haven't been oiled/serviced in ages.

Great place to gym but definitely room for improvement. There is limited cardio machines such as row machines and during load shedding there is no generator to keep power on. It is shocking that there isn’t backup power due to the high membership and fees.

With all the load shedding they don't even have a generator how are we supposed to train when 90% of the machines are off .Besides this, the equipment hasn't been upgraded in years . the Gym is falling apart and yet we are expected to pay for this.

A great old school gym! There is also a nice coffee shop / restaurant. There is an indoor pool. My physiotherapist works from here so I go train there when I have an appointment with him.
