I was a member at virgin active for 5 years. Classes and crèche were great...when you could get a spot! Often you had to call up the moment the classes were available to get in. It became very frustrating and stressful especially when considering the cost! About £90 per month plus £4 per hour at the crèche. Plus you have to pay for a membership for your child - another £25 per month- or something lie that! one mum told me her gym cost was about £300 per month once you added on parking. Ouch!
I joined Clapham leisure centre after leaving virgin last year. Much better value at roughly £30 per month for annual joint membership. No crèche, sauna or hot tub but has online booking - which is MUCH better and i can spend the money i save elsewhere. Can often get in right before the class starts - which is great because I live very close. Pool is also 25m and much better than virgin's 18m pool. People are also very friendly at Clapham Leisure.
Hope this helps!
