Where Wellness Gets Real
Overview
Virgin Active’s first club opened in the UK in 1999 and is part of the Virgin Group, founded by Sir Richard Branson. Since then, the brand has grown to become one of the world’s leading international health and wellness club operators, with close to 230 clubs across nine countries on four continents: South Africa, UK, Italy, Australia, Namibia, Botswana, Thailand, Singapore and Qatar.
Virgin Active’s purpose is to Change People’s Lives For the Better Through Wellness — transitioning from traditional gyms to social wellness clubs that are designed to help members flourish physically, mentally, and emotionally. Their clubs offer:
- Stunning spaces & exceptional hospitality
- The intersection of social, work and play
- A broad range of cutting-edge wellness experiences (fitness, recovery, nutrition, mental wellbeing, sleep support)
- Seamless physical + digital transformation through their global app.
Virgin Active clubs serve as modern “second spaces” — vibrant communities where members can connect, recharge, and pursue a holistic approach to wellbeing. By creating a complete wellness ecosystem under one roof, Virgin Active enables members to engage more frequently, stay longer, and achieve better wellness outcomes.
