Testimonials

WHAT SVAC MEMBERS ARE SAYING

The staff is very friendly and helpful. They even remember your name. The instructors are also great. I couldn’t be happier with the classes that I have taken. i.e. move it low and seniors’ yoga. The Club is very clean and bright. I love the fact that there is a lovely lounge to sit in to enjoy a complimentary tea or a coffee with a friend after your workout. I would recommend this Club to anyone thinking of joining a gym.
