Advantages: Fantastic membership offers, State of the art equipment
Disadvantages: None

...a member of the new Virgin Active Club, which has been built upon the Derbyshire County Cricket site, just off the Pentagon island (A61). A friend invited me along with her to the club a couple of weeks ago, and I must say I was really impressed. First impressions count, and Virgin certainly know how to do this. The entrance is light and airy, and is served by very efficient, and pleasant reception staff. The club is built on two levels. On the ...
...to the centre is the Virgin Vie shop which sells the full range of cosmetics and smelly stuff that Virgin Vie provide. This is also the Living River therapy centre, where you can get facials, waxing, massage, and nail treatments, at a reasonable price. An express manicure is 12 pounds, nail extensions 35 pounds (2 hour session), a cleanse and make over 15 pounds. Now for the painful bit....A full leg wax is 20 pounds, and bikini wax 8 pounds.

Fitness First Sucks

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: difficult to cancel membership, overcrowded

...also run a forum about Fitness First , it contains insightful information about this company and some real opinions and feedback about FitnessFirst ! So before you join one of the FitnessFirst gyms come and have a look at our forums . I changed my direct debit as I had changed my bank. Fitness First failed to change it on the computer, which meant I incurred £60 of bank charges. I didn't get any where with the club but when I spoke to the customer ...
...fight goes on. Do not use Fitness First. I am sure you hear this all the time but from a personal point of view I found your article very valuable and enjoyable. Thank you for your organisation and enthusiasm. Kind Regards: FitnessFirst Sucks. http://www.fitnessfirstsucks.com ...

Review of Fitness First, Leeds

OUGHT TO HAVE A WEALTH WARNING

Advantages: Good tennis
Disadvantages: Personally witnessing a long-standing member being refused entry.

OUGHT TO HAVE A WEALTH WARNING: The club appears to tie the members into very long contracts (currently, I believe 12 months notice) and this year when my membership was due for renewal the club did not adhere to their own contract with regards to price increases, 14a & 14b of the contract in particular. The office staff, in charge of Membership Relations, I found to be rather dishonest! I personally experienced some very unethical tricks when negotiating ...
...who she is, will even insist that she does not receive emails as official notice of resignation or retraction, depending on what benefits her, of course. I have also personally witnessed a long-standing member being refused entry to the club only 2 days after his payment ran out. How ruthless! Be careful! ...
