Virgin Active – Notting Hill

I must like this place, as I am writing the review from the café that is in the gym. I just can’t bring myself to leave.
Highlights:
— Loads of group exercise classes!
— The gym floor is large with a whole room of cardio and whole room of free weights and weight machines.
— They have new innovative exercise equipment like TRX, Vippr, and Power Plates.
— The gym is ALL above ground. Which provides a lot of natural light, even if the natural light is fog, rain, and gray, it is MUCh better than most gyms which seem to be underground and are kind of depressing.
— There is a swimming pool — on the smaller side with only 4 lanes, but a lifeguard is always on duty!
— There is a café in the gym with free Wifi. The café is great option to get a healthy meal when you are in a rush.
— The membership includes child care, and that is kind of awesome if you are a Mum or Dad!
— They have 20 minute quick blast exercise classes which is good before or after a bit of cardio.
Lowlights:
— Expensive. Not that it isn’t worth the price. But it is kind of pricey. 12 month contract is £75 a month!
— The wifi wasn’t working when I first got to the café, and if you read my previous review on Virgin Media, I love internet and am not pleased when it doesn’t work.
— The large TVs for the cardio equipment leave a bit to be desired. Not a lots of TV.
Overall: This is a great gym! Come check it out!
