I've been coming here for probably about a decade now because it is one of the better gyms in Sheffield. Staff have always been great and welcoming. It has a lot to offer including a wide variety of top of the range equipment, two pools, a spa suite, a climbing wall and a wide range of classes. All of which I can't fault and definitely have enjoyed using over the years. Unfortunately, Virgin has prioritised signing up new members at the expense of existing customers. Often the gym is overcrowded, meaning you have to wait for equipment or space to workout. And at busy times the spa area is dirty and loud meaning that it is anything but relaxing. I really love the offerings of the gym, I just wish limit numbers better to ensure a better standard of service for all.
Nice gym, convenient location, clean, friendly personnel with a decent amount of training equipment. The gym floor is huge with a lot of natural light which gives it a fresh, energising feel. It’s cheaper than my previous gym back home in South Africa Virgin Active Classic - Moses Mabhida but offers a wider variety of classes. The Barre class is absolutely awesome. Always the highlight of my week! Classes are never boring as the instructor Lisa adds diverse exercises EVERY time. It’s perfect for anyone at any fitness level and age. Lisa pays attention to everyone's form and corrects you if you're doing it wrong. I was hesitant to join this club because of previous nasty reviews regarding POC but no other gym in Sheffield could do for me. Personally I’m very happy here.
I found this is the best gym in Sheffield with great environment, clean equipment and fabulous spa and sauna. The group classes are very popular and highly organised. This is not the cheapest option in the area but worth every penny and this is why it is almost full at the peak times. Nevertheless I always find a place to park. I don't think anyone will ever regret being a part of Virgin Active.
I have been to a number of gyms in Sheffield; this is the BEST. They have a lot of equipment as well as 3 boxing bags in a quiet and narrow passageway in the corner. I use this a lot and enjoy the privacy, as there are a lot fewer eyes on you when you punch the bag.The spa area includes a really pleasant and relaxing Jacuzzi or hydrotherapy pool, as they call it, a hot sauna really hot, which is what I enjoy, and a cooler sauna, as well as a steam room and a swimming pool. You can tell right away that hygiene is of utmost importance to this gym, as the facilities are always clean and tidy for the members. Parking is not an issue, completely free, and there is always a space. My only complaint would be that I would of loved to bring my sister if they offered women-only time slots for the spa and swimming facilities, something that EIS, NRG, and other gyms are doing since many women are religious and don't like to wear swimwear in front of men due to religious reasons. But otherwise, if you are looking to get in shape in the most luxurious and member-focused gym in Sheffield, Virgin Active is the place to be.
Signed up this week and have been a couple of times. Alex was really informative and helpful in the process of signing up. All facilities seem clean and tidy, and receptionists have been really friendly and help full. I would recommend asking for a tour if you’re hesitant about signing up it will change your mind!
Great facility and lovely staff. I visited the club around 6pm the girl on the front desk was absolutely lovely. The gym had just been redone inside and you can tell. They have the latest Eleiko equipment for those that don’t know its top of the range gear as well as techno equipment. Couldn’t fault the gym what it offers for the price, absolute no brainer. Thank you again for the lovely experience. Would definitely recommend.
I wanted to post a positive review because the negative reviews already available made me hesitant to sign up to this gym at the beginning of the year. Every gym/ health club will have strengths and weaknesses, but overall I have been impressed with this gym and it's had a really positive impact on my life so far. The classes are always busy and you need to sign up in good time. However, I have never yet been unable to attend a class that I wanted to attend, because the waiting list clears quickly. I also see it as a positive sign that the classes are so popular and it feels good to be doing something as part of a group. I love the spin-style classes and the yoga sessions. I have a complicated schedule that changes every week, but there are lots of class options available and I have been impressed with how easy it is to pick sessions that work around my schedule, or to cancel and re-book onto something else if things change, via the app. The pool can get busy at times but it's never been so busy that I couldn't face having a swim. I used to swim a mile twice a week and would probably not use this pool for the same purpose because it can be a little busier than I like. However, for the purpose of swimming 20 laps after a class in the morning, it's fine and it's really lovely to be able to access a pool so easily. The spa facilities are a lovely bonus, too. I have joined up with my preschooler, who is just delighted with the children's pool and really looks forward to coming with me to the club in general. We haven't used the creche yet, but she really wants to give it a go, having had a look round. She loves the small soft play room in the cafe and is keen to have a go on the larger soft play area within the creche. As a former regular climber, I am also really excited to start using the auto-belay walls after I've done the intro session next week. The gym itself is great. Although it can get busy, like the pool, I haven't found this prohibitive. I love the changing rooms, which are always warm and clean on an early morning visit, too. There are some quite unkind comments about staff in the reviews on this page and I am really of the opposite opinion - everyone has been friendly, professional and helpful so far, from the reception team to the cafe staff and the swimming instructors. Overall, I think that this is a very good, albeit imperfect gym that is excellent value for money compared to lots of things that are out there.
Decent facilities, although its often full of litter empty bottles and cans, changing rooms can be a mess and floors dirty. It's so busy now with folk just sat on their phones on machines, some members walking round bare foot, dirty work boots and jeans and some vaping! It's definitely lost its elite health club look and now feels more like a cheap council gym. Big groups of young lads shouting in the spa like its an ibiza beach party. I would have left by now if there was somewhere else that had the same facilities. 9th April - I went last night for the first time in a week and the issues are still the same! One guy looked like he'd come straight from working for the council or tarmacing roads! Absolutely filthy neon orange overalls and boots caked in mud! The showers looked like a barber shop floor and changing room were covered in dirt! Folk wearing flip flops and bare feet in the gym, doesn't anyone get an induction anymore or staff walk on the gym floor trying to imply some gym etiquette and health and safety?
I've returned to this gym after a 2-year hiatus and generally speaking I'm happy I did so. You pay a premium price for membership of Virgin Active and I was pleased to see lots of brand new equipment on the gym floor, all in good working order. I use the occupancy feature on the app, but the evenings in particular are always very busy and I have to basically use whatever piece is available until it starts to quieten down a little. That's not really a problem as I do circuits and usually have at least an hour to work out, but I do find it frustrating when you have a group hogging the same piece of equipment for 30 minutes. That's poor gym etiquette rather than a failure on the part of Virgin Active however, and I'm sure it happens everywhere. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of dedicated abdominal and lower back equipment, so I do my own thing on the mats for core work. Maybe slightly less cardio equipment could make space for some additional strength kit, but I'm sure Virgin Active monitor the usage and will feel they have the balance right. Everything else around the gym is of a high standard, and I've found the staff to be friendly and helpful.
Regrettably, my experience with Virgin Active compels me to advise potential members to consider alternative gyms. A critical issue that arose during my membership was the mishandling of my personal information, which was shockingly shared, thereby exposing me to a known stalker. This severe breach of privacy is both alarming and utterly unacceptable. Furthermore, the situation was exacerbated by unexpected charges that seemed unjustified, adding financial stress on top of the privacy concerns. Efforts to resolve these issues were met with a disheartening combination of delay, denial, and dismissal, undermining any sense of trust or value. The gym's failure to protect member information and to address financial discrepancies reflects poorly on its management and operational ethics. Such experiences highlight a disregard for member safety and financial transparency, which are fundamental to a trustworthy service provider.
