Like their famous airlines and huge music shops, Virgin Active is aiming to be a club offering a whole new level of service. Virgin Active doesn't just want to fill a particular area of your daily life, it wants to fulfil a variety of different needs, from sport to family recreation, from fitness to relaxation. Get a membership to Virgin Active if you're looking for a fitness club that's a little out of the ordinary.

There are two kinds of Virgin Active clubs: The Life Centre and the City Clubs. The Life Centres are huge, brightly coloured sports and recreational Complexes. The facilities you can expect from these "total clubs" are as follows:

  • Extensive Gyms containing over 200 different machines featuring the cutting-edge Technogym Key System. The Technogym Key System logs all the exercise you do into your personal programme monitor.

The City Clubs tend to be smaller, but they have been carefully researched to cater to the needs of the busy, funky city dweller lifestyle. Their facilities include:

  • Massive well-equip gyms featuring cardio, weight resistance and sports specific training equipment, along with a free weights section
  • Two large aerobic studios offering over 80 classes a week
  • Personal Trainers on hand for one-to-one working
