Who are we?

Here at Virgin Active Australia, we have the best talent, doing the best work of their lives with meaning. Our continuous focus on inspiring people to live an active life is what unites us and sets us apart in our vision to be the world's most loved exercise brand.

We are part of the Virgin group of companies worldwide and launched our Australian business in 2008 with one club, five studios and a dedicated team of just 50 people. Today, we have a team of nearly 1,000 people and we're building a collection of iconic locations in Sydney and Melbourne.

With stunning views that include Manly beach and the Sydney skyline, our Northern Beaches club is the go-to for anyone north of the shore. Set over 2 levels and sprawling 3,820 sqm, the club features a spacious gym floor with dedicated cardio, strength and functional training areas and an outdoor training space coming soon, 5 group exercise studios and spaces for classes including Reformer Pilates, Grid Training (HIIT), Yoga, Cycle, Barre, Boxing, a sparkling 25m swimming pool, spa and sauna, club-V for the kids, and a bustling café for your post-workout treat.
