zorba Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi,Good news for all our fitness fanatics...I have just found out that Virgin Active will be opening in Sydney in about 2 weeks time. Not sure exactly where it will be located, will find out and post.It's being opened by an ex-Saffer from Cape Town. (Africans, we are SUCH clever people, always on the lookout for great opportunities!)zorba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am still waiting for him to get back to me with the physical address...And he optimistically says " our FIRST one is opening at Frenchs Forest"...so there will hopefully be more!

calibrated Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hmmm..http://www.ausleisure.com.au/default.asp?PageID=150Perhaps the most high profile of these new arrivals, Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Active fitness chain (which currently has 165 clubs in Britain and Europe with a total of 900,000 members) is expected to open its long awaited first club in Brisbane before the end of the year, to be followed by others.and this from october 2007...http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0...50-3122,00.htmlbut no brisbane VA yet....... oh well. i hope this means it is coming soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TweetyandChester Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 We are still in a hotel and will be looking for a rental as of Feb. Think I should focus on that area! I used to love the solariums from Solarscape at VA. Hope he has them on board as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
