Virgin Account

I wanted to join a good quality gym to fit my needs, so I decided to see what Virgin Active can offer me. I spoke to a sales agent and he gave me an excellent offer (at that time). He asked me what my previous gym fees were so that he can work out a plan. As we discovered that I am a member of Discovery Health my monthly payment will be R175, and if I join Vitality it will drop to R135 (his words). So I joined and signed my contract as this is much less than what I paid at the previous intuition. I only have to pay R1300 as a once off membership fee, that will go off as a debit order. I paid R175 in the shop on that day as well. The first month the debit order went off for R530, second month for R530 (as I thought they break off the membership fee in 2 halves). But this month I paid R530 again!!! So I phoned them, just to find out that my monthly payment is R530, so he tells me I have not paid my R1300 yet.... How is this right?? On the phone he tells me that there is nothing he can do for me, I have to cancel my contract. I asked to speak to the manager, he/she is not there he tells me. So I said I am expecting a phone call from them. And still nothing..after 4 days now

Hello MonWheeler,

Thank you for taking my call this morning.

On behalf of myself and Virgin Active we would like to apologise for the lack of service received from us and also apologise for the frustrations caused.

As discussed I will await your feedback to give the go ahead on us changing your contract to a corporate membership.

I thank you for your understanding and patience at this time.

Kind Regards

Chris M
