Why Virgin Active Point Refurbishment 2025

Is Virgin Active Green Point Worth It?
Yes – especially if you live or work in Green Point, Sea Point, Waterfront, De Waterkant, or CBD areas. The combination of indoor/outdoor training, heated pool in winter, excellent classes, recovery facilities, kids club, and now the upgraded 2025 features make it one of the best all-round gyms in Cape Town.
