## Virgin Active Reviews in South Africa

### ***-- "Tier Rewards Tab Not Opening"
When I try to open the “Tier Rewards” Tab in the app, it loads the top section (bronze; silver; gold) briefly, but then proceeds to load nothing…
-- Main character man, 2025-01-02

### ***** "Fast and Effective"
Nothing beats the fact that it’s user friendly and easy to navigate so there’s no time wasting when using it exactly for its intended purposes.
-- RsmithCPT, 2025-01-01

### *---- "No option to view other VA gyms like previous app"
This new app does not have the option to switch between gyms and view classes like the previous app which is frustrating. Why was this functionality removed?
-- FiitgirlJo, 2024-12-28

### **--- "Make the digital access QR always visable, can't screenshot reward"
2024-12-28
Enable the permission to take a screenshot. 

This is the primary reason people use the app. The QR should always be a click away, pin it to the panel at the bottom. At the moment it's faster to quit the app and relaunch it access the QR.
-- Karl Fischer, 2024-12-28

### ****- "App works well. The weekly target is the issue"
It could have been a 5 star rating since the app works well. However the weekly target that keeps increasing is a problem. Minimum 3 gym visits weekly should be enough. But just as I celebrate achieving that, the next target increases to 4 gym visits. Honestly this needs to be reviewed. It’s actually counterproductive that I end up giving up on the idea entirely. I’m actually an active person but gym visits are not always going to be 4 days + in a week.
-- Eyami, 2024-12-23

### ***** "Healthy lifestyle"
Great space with updated look that offers amazing group sessions and amazing people and awesome staff!💪🏽👌🏽
-- shoohlo, 2024-12-18

### *---- "Waitlisting - missing"
updated my app a week ago but am I missing something - fully booked classes you cant add yourself to a waitlist but this was part of the update.
-- Craucks, 2024-12-18

### *---- "What the use of rewards if the app doesn’t work"
It’s been 2 times now that I’ve attended the gym and it never reflected on the app.  I send emails to to club and head office and all they say is that they can see on the system that I attend and will escalate it to the tech department. Virgin get your S in order!
-- Anglebright, 2024-12-17

### *---- "New reward system is unattainable"
Discrimination against working women who cannot go to a gym 4 times a week. Killing my motivation
-- loreoli4, 2024-12-15

### *---- "Poor Access Logging System"
Ever since I’ve updated to this new app, most of my gym visits have not been logged so naturally I don’t get any of the  rewards as promised. And it’s not just me. All my family members are noticing the same!
-- MagicVixie, 2024-12-15

### ****- "Delay in fixing of equipments"
Turn around time for fixing equipments is the worst 😭😭
-- DudeTKchoz, 2024-12-14

### *---- "Needs some love"
Full of bugs, quite embarrassing for a VA app…
-- Wazza1212, 2024-12-13

### ***-- "Klerksdorp virgin active"
Love virgin active! Friendly staff and very clean would give it 5 stars! but aircons doesn’t really make cold making it very uncomfortable
-- Meg@02, 2024-12-13

### ****- "Workout classes"
The class on the app do not correlate with the classes at the gym or even the ones reception has. It does get confusing because I never know which class I am attending.

Otherwise everything else seems okay.
-- smile_white00, 2024-12-12

### ***** "Continues improvement"
Their app development team is continuously bringing out better versions with new features. Great to see the product evolve.
-- AdriaanOdendaal, 2024-12-10

### ***** "Great App"
The system of rewarding those disciplined enough to consistently go to gym is amazing
-- Mpho Rambau, 2024-12-09

### ***** "Facilities"
Steam room needs a revamp
-- Leanne Rangana, 2024-12-09

### ***-- "Mr"
Sometimes long to update
-- Neoza.cash, 2024-12-08

### **--- "App update = clearly you hate us😔"
A wrap being the reward after 12 weeks of consistency is actually a joke. What’s the reward after 26? A protein bar🤨 WHY DOES IT RESET?! “Motivation” se foot

Gym visits not being logged from your end? Laughable, outsource new developers - your current ones don’t care.

Having to keep a streak consistently of 3-4 visits per week for a smoothie? Impossible for two reasons:
1. Your stupid app doesn’t account for human error ie. Getting sick???or goals unique to your gym goers???
2. As previously mentioned - GYM VISITS DON’T GET LOGGED FROM YOUR END

What are the actual benefits here? Stress?
-- upset material girl, 2024-12-06

### *---- "Delayed log of entry"
Your app is delayed in logging gym sessions
Often then affecting our discovery rewards

I’m often having the gym session logged as an exit but I often have issues with gym entries which affects my discovery points and my streaks!

This happens a lot at bel air virgin active and nowhere else that I have access to
