Its 2017 and it’s that time, when everyone wants to purge all the food and drink they have consumed over Christmas and prepare their bodies for spring and summer.
The good news is, you have a bit of time on your hands until the weather heats up and clothing gets smaller and shorter. So why not start now and get yourself ripped or at least a bit leaner, a little bit trimmer and of course much healthier with Virgin Active.
Here’s 10 awesome reasons to join Virgin Active.

2. The Spa’s
If you are anything like me, then you’ll want a gym that not only has fitness equipment but also has spa facilities.

The perfect addition to any lifestyle gym. You can unwind and pamper yourself at one of Virgin Active‘s health spas. Enjoy a beauty treatment one of their expert therapists.
