\n\t\tLuxury fitness now comes with a R100 million price tag.\n\t<\/p>\n
There are gyms, and then there are lifestyle destinations. This week, Virgin Active officially blurred the line between the two. <\/p>\n
It did so by opening its R100 million-plus Collection Country Club in Green Point, Cape Town.<\/p>\n
Spanning an impressive 5 500m2, the new club signals a bold evolution in how South Africans experience wellness.<\/p>\n
More than just a place to lift weights or clock in cardio, the space was designed as an all-in-one ecosystem. <\/p>\n
In this space, movement, recovery, nutrition and social connection coexist seamlessly.<\/p>\n
From the moment members walk in, the scale is unmistakable. <\/p>\n
A redesigned-training floor anchors the space. It includes expanded strength and conditioning zones, sleek cardio areas and personalised coaching options tailored to individual fitness goals.<\/p>\n
The aesthetic leans premium and polished, echoing global wellness trends, while keeping a distinctly local energy.<\/p>\n
Five dedicated studios further elevate the offering. <\/p>\n
Members can move between pilates, heated yoga, boxing sessions, high-intensity interval training, immersive-cycling classes, and restorative sound experiences.<\/p>\n
Each studio has been curated to deliver both performance and presence. <\/p>\n
As a result, members are encouraged to treat exercise as a ritual rather than a routine.<\/p>\n
Swimming takes centre stage at the club\u2019s upgraded 25-metre pool. This pool now serves as the home of the Virgin Active Chad Le Clos Swim Academy.<\/p>\n
In collaboration with Olympic gold medallist, Chad le Clos<\/a>, the academy offers structured coaching for swimmers at every level. <\/p>\n These include beginners finding their rhythm, as well as competitive athletes sharpening their edge.<\/p>\n ALSO READ:Gen Z artist Rayne: \u2018Music is my oxygen\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n But what truly sets this R100 million investment apart is its emphasis on recovery. <\/p>\n Sauna and steam rooms sit alongside hot-and-cold therapy pools, cryotherapy lounges, and advanced-muscle treatment technology. <\/p>\n The message is clear. Restoration is as important as repetition.<\/p>\n Beyond the indoor facilities, the outdoor amenities add a lifestyle layer that feels almost resort-like.<\/p>\n
