So many reasons to hate the gym, yet I absolutely love going. This recently converted Virgin Active gym was once Esporta, so it has always been a private member's gym, just picked up in price a bit once Virgin bought it. The facilities in here are fantastic. Huge changing rooms with televisions and decent sized lockers, a huge pool that's very rarely busy, an even bigger gym that is fully equipped with anything you could want to use to build muscle or lose weight, and a fantastic restaurant/cafe that has a fully stocked bar and a full menu (mostly of healthy foods!). There's also a shop that sells spa/beauty products, as well as large indoor & outdoor tennis courts. The membership is a bit steep, but it's worth it if you're gonna be using it a lot of the time. read more

Pricey but worth it. I'm thin & have no muscle end of. However with the help of Virgin Active's staff the thin ikea-like flatpack stomach is now become defined. The staff here are honesty second to none! They are always on hand to lend you help or advice into what you should be doing to work towards your aims. This is obviously a private gym with a hefty membership price for myself at £45 per month (This is the 18 to 25 plan) this comes with unlimited use of the pool and gym. All I need to be honest. I think at this price it keeps away the idiots who go in and flex there muscles till there bulging out of there arms and stare at you because your big or small. The members here are all there for the same reason, to get fit therefore I dont feel intimidated at all when I look at other guys my age who have bodies which should be in the weekly edition of Mens Health magazine. With a glorious pool, which is NEVER busy. Busiest I've seen has been 10 people in the pool. On a weekday at lunch time you can almost be guaranteed to get the pool to yourself. Steam room and sauna are also very popular with all members, the sauna is much more frequently visited by hairy men and the steam room more visited by the Hamilton football club! Only thing, the changing rooms are all communal. This dosent bother me, but it may bother others. The cafè which looks onto the pool is incredibly reasonably priced and tastes good! Steak for £5.80...WHIT!? Tastes amazing though! And the strawberry split smoothie is to die for! I'd highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get fit or tone up or what ever :) Great fun! read more

Not impressed at all. Been a member here for 12 months - personal belongings went missing from a locked locker, Classes showing full as soon as they were available for booking, toilets not kept clean in the main area & a high level of attitude and generally really poor customer service. There seems to be a real "snobby" attitude with some of the staff here and I consistently had a real vibe from some staff that they had really put themselves and the club on some sort of pedestal. Even after leaving & receiving a feedback email - what would keep me at Virgin Hamilton - when I took the time out to complete the feedback constructively and honestly they had the cheek to come back and not listen but challenge my feedback - keep your expensive overrated membership - so disappointed in virgin active & this has been consistent. I expected as a Virgin customer for T.V, Broadband & mobile for the quality to be on par - it certainly wasn't and i suspect having spoke to several people if virgin active do not start listening and co operating with feedback they will quickly feel the pinch as this market is hugely competitive. Shame as there was a couple of lovely ladies worked here but sadly the negative outweighed the positive. "Pricey and not worth it!" read more
