Bad Points: Ever since Virgin Active took over Holmes Place it's been a really poor show. Virgin Active have been trying to reduce the towels they provide ever since they took over. They have now reduced the towels to one per person in most of the London clubs.
General comments: They say this initiative is for the environment. They have refused to bring back the small "sweat towel" and they demand a pound for an extra towel that they say they will give to charity. When asked if they will be donating the savings made to an environmental charity they say no. There is a petition to sign asking them to bring back the towels or give the money saved to charity: www.ipetitions.com/petition/towels/

If you had wrote more about them than just their towel status i may have found it more helpful.. if you'd like to add some more information about the facilities and costs then i'd be glad to re-rate you. x
Advantages: if you want to make a lifetime commitment to a poor to average gym, great Disadvantages: i don't live within a hour of a virgin active &they're taking me to court!
