Shape up your bottom line

At Virgin Life Care we strive to deliver substantial benefits to clients, insurers, employers and employees through a range of fun, accessible, engaging and effective health interventions.

Why? Because healthy people are happy people! As a direct result of our specialist health interventions, we can reduce medical aid claims and expenditure, reduce absenteeism and enhance workplace culture and productivity – all of which significantly lower the costs for insurers and employers alike.

So, tour our site and see how we can customise a corporate health intervention that will show results where it matters most…on your bottom line!

Do your Vitality Fitness Assessment and earn Vitality points!


The Vitality Fitness Assessment is a quick and easy test that tells you how fit you are. With this knowledge you will be better equipped to understand your current fitness level and what you need to do to improve it. You'll also receive tools to help you reach your health and fitness goals, such as a personalised exercise plan.

What the Vitality Fitness Assessment involves


  • Physical measurements, such as weight, height, waist circumference and body fat percentage
  • A Fitness test (step test)*
  • A comprehensive health and fitness report
  • A personalised exercise programme

Where to go


To make an appointment with a Virgin Life Care biokineticist click here. Remember to bring along your Discovery membership card, your identity document, some exercise clothes and a fee of R185. You have to pay this fee when you do the assessment and can claim this amount back from your Discovery Health Medical Savings Account, if you have funds available.

If you are a Discovery Life policyholder, you will need to pay for the Vitality Fitness Assessment yourself.
