How to Get the Best Deal
The first step is to check the official joining page at virginactive.co.za/join-gym. When you select your preferred Pretoria club (such as Menlyn, Hatfield, Centurion, or Wonderboom), the system automatically shows the updated 2025 membership prices, joining fees, and available discounts.
This ensures you only see rates that apply to Pretoria residents.
You can also reduce your monthly cost by using health and rewards partners. Discovery Vitality, Momentum Multiply, and Old Mutual Rewards often provide some of the biggest savings.
.These partnerships are available at almost every Virgin Active in Pretoria.
If you’re not in a hurry, keep an eye on Virgin Active Pretoria promotions, especially around November, December, and early January.
For example, the current November 2025 deal includes November free + 50% off December and January, which can save you a large amount in your first 3 months. Virgin Active also runs occasional flash deals tied to specific Pretoria clubs, student specials for campuses like UP and TUT, and family bundle discounts.
Another simple trick is to compare different Pretoria clubs before joining. Premium clubs like Menlyn Maine may have higher fees, while standard clubs such as Hatfield or Centurion Mall may offer more affordable monthly prices with similar equipment.
Contract Flexibility
If you prefer contract flexibility, ask about 12-month vs. month-to-month pricing. Some Pretoria clubs provide lower rates if you commit for a year. And if you’re joining with a friend, partner, or family member, request a multi-member discount, as many Pretoria clubs offer better pricing when two or more people sign up together.
➔ Pretoria clubs often have in-house offers that aren’t shown online, such as zero-joining-fee days, student discounts for Hatfield residents, or off-peak membership options.
