This app is terrible. There is no point describing what is wrong with it because everyone has said it before and nothing gets done about it!! All that happens is the developer responds is that improvements have been made!! Can't believe that whoever was responsible for the UX / design / user testing final sign off on the app can't see the glaring issues with this terrible app. The old app wasn't the best or the most dynamic but it worked and was easy to navigate and was clear. Rant over :(

New app embarrassingly BAD
The 4.1.1. update has made very little difference. The building blocks to the app are severely and fundamentally flawed, to the point that the phrase “polishing a ****” rings true. I'm so fed up with not being able to clearly and easily see and book classes. Terrible stock images everywhere (I can't bear their faces now). “Rewards” don't work. I'm supposedly a silver member but none of the “silver” “rewards” are unlocked. No one in club knows what to do. Emailing then gets the same standard response if we are trying to fix this, but it's been MONTHS now. Sometimes my classes don't register on the app. What an absolute mess. I've stopped using the app and now just use the website, not ideal at all. No one in club I've spoken to has a positive word to say. If I had the option I'd give this app 0 stars!! It's so very bad, in fact the worst app I've ever used. Desperate for the old app to be reinstated, the new one is ruining my user experience of Virgin Active. 😔

The update is truly awful
The updated app has the worst UX I've ever seen. It's hard to believe it's by a huge company and not an amateur. What was wrong with the old app? You could clearly see what classes you had on immediately, it synced to your calendar, and booking a class was simple. The new app is a clunky nightmare and with the weird pictures of random people smiling everywhere it feels more like an advertisement than a functional app. I already go to this gym, why are you advertising it to me? The app alone is making me despise this whole ‘wellness weapon' initiative. It's just terrible. Please listen to your customers and undo it, go back to the old app before you lose clientele

No such thing as App Stability improvements. After every update it just gets slower and unresponsive. Sometimes the screen sections don't load.

Happy with the club always beat and tidy, just disappointed two important machines were removed, standing calf raise and seated rear felt extensions.

New app is messy
The new app doesn't prioritise the features you use the most e.g timetable and bookings. The app is very busy and overloaded with features you don't need and it's hard to use. The background with instructors and people also makes it difficult to see the features
