The year 2009 has started off where 2008 has left off - increasing prices of everything from food to clothes. To make matters worse, Virgin Active have pushed up their prices as well on most of their contracts for new and exisitng members.
That means it's going to cost you that little bit more to de-stress, but you now you are more stressed which means you must go to gym, which reminds you that you have to pay more and .... you get into a SPIN!
I personally think that even R400 a month you are getting value for what you get. I mean you do feel better and you can use the gym for showering and reducing you water costs (if only slightly).
The thing that bugs most the people we speak to is that they now have to pay almost R400 for a contract and then they hear from their mates who are on Discovery Medical Aid that they only pay R850 once off.
I would also be cross if i was them. But not for much longer.
If you take a life insurance policy with Discovery Life (not the medical aid) you can add Vitality, which is the benefit that allows you to make the once off payments to the gym.
If you want to do the maths the minimum premium with Discovery Life including Vitality is R305 per month and for that you get
- A fortune of life insurance
- Lifetime gym membership
For almost R100 less then you current Virgin memeberhip.
Virgin Active members who have a current contract don't have to worry. Discovery Life and Vitality will replace your contract at no extra cost to you.
