Pretoria has 21 gyms in our directory, 16 of them rated on Google and averaging 4.31, and nine of the twelve busiest listings share just two names: Virgin Active and Planet Fitness. So the useful question isn't which brand, it's which branch.
Which Pretoria branch is best rated?
The answer depends on how much weight you give volume. Here are the twelve listings with the most reviews, sorted by review count. The Area column comes from the address, because several street fields hold only a shop or floor number.
| Gym | Rating | Reviews | Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virgin Active Menlyn | 4.2 | 723 | Menlyn |
| Virgin Active Eco Park | 4.1 | 321 | Highveld |
| Planet Fitness Menlyn | 4.3 | 302 | Menlyn |
| Planet Fitness Lynnwood | 4.0 | 272 | Lynnwood Manor |
| Virgin Active Faerie Glen | 4.1 | 269 | Valley Farm AH |
| Virgin Active Moreleta Park | 4.2 | 267 | Moreleta Park |
| Planet Fitness Moreleta Park | 3.6 | 194 | Moreleta Park |
| Virgin Active Menlyn Maine | 4.7 | 186 | Menlyn |
| KAUAI Hatfield | 4.4 | 98 | Hatfield |
| Planet Fitness Olympus | 4.6 | 49 | Olympus AH |
| Body Logic Health Club | 3.9 | 41 | Constantia Park |
| CrossFit Menlyn Maine | 4.8 | 41 | Garsfontein |
Virgin Active against Planet Fitness
Five Virgin Active branches sit between 4.1 and 4.7, and every one of them has at least 186 reviews. Virgin Active Menlyn Maine is the standout: 4.7 from 186 reviews is a result you can lean on.
The four Planet Fitness branches are less even. Menlyn scores 4.3 from 302 reviews, Lynnwood 4.0 from 272, and Moreleta Park only 3.6 from 194. Olympus shows 4.6, but from 49 reviews, so we'd treat that as a reason to visit rather than proof.
Outside the two names, KAUAI Hatfield has 4.4 from 98 reviews. CrossFit Menlyn Maine has the highest score in the table, 4.8, from 41 reviews, and it's the only one of the 21 listings with hours and photos on file.
What don't we know about Pretoria gyms?
A lot. Hours exist for one listing, amenities for none, photos for two. Six have a phone number and nine a website. We can't tell you what a branch offers beyond what its name says, and we hold no prices. Is it worth signing a contract before you've seen the floor?
The street data mentions Serene Road, Burnett St, George Storrar Dr, Haymeadow Crescent, Veda Road and St Bernard Dr, among others. Use the map for distances. We have none.
Reading the review counts
Every rating and review count here is Google's, and we refresh them regularly. We sort by volume so that a few enthusiastic votes can't push a branch to the top.
