Virgin Active Health And Raquet Club

Very nice gym with all the latest gear, very nice pool and Costa, children’s area, and outside seating in the summer

Probably the best gym I’ve ever visited. I used to be a member here, but the cost is very high compared to local competitors so I switched elsewhere. Wish I could still afford this gym.
The equipment is of the highest standard. The cardio equipment has built in screens with access to radio stations and freeview TV. Just need to bring your own earphones. Makes the workout just fly by! Staff are constantly cleaning the facilities. Never seen such diligence in gym staff before or since.
The pool is large, clean and very well staffed. There’s also a children’s pool, and a jacuzzi (adults only). There is a nice café within the gym which has comfortable seating, TV’s showing Sky Sports on one side and a TV showing children’s TV near a kids play area. There’s also outside seating.
Bottom line — if you want the finest facilities and can afford it then this is the place.
