The VHS Workout on Virgin Voyages is a playful, fitness-based event designed to blend nostalgia with exercise. This 45-minute session is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to burn off some of those extra Scarlet Night calories in a fun and lighthearted way.
What to Expect
The VHS Workout, hosted by three enthusiastic members of the Happenings Cast, including The Balancer (your onboard detox and retox coach), is a themed event that takes you back to the era of big hair, bright colors, and cheesy aerobics. This workout session is inspired by the iconic VHS exercise tapes from the 1980s, complete with shake weights and a soundtrack full of classic hits.
Throughout the class, you’ll be led through a series of low-impact aerobics moves, designed to get you moving without overexerting yourself. Although this workout is primarily geared towards beginners, those looking for more of a challenge can modify the exercises to suit their fitness level.
Optional Dress-Up
One of the highlights of the VHS Workout is the opportunity to dress up in your best 80s workout gear. Sailors are encouraged to don sweatbands, leg warmers, neon tank tops, and anything else that screams 1980s fitness fashion. Dressing up isn’t mandatory, but it adds to the fun, helping to create a vibrant and energetic atmosphere.
Where and When
The VHS Workout typically takes place in The Manor, however for busier sailings it can be moved to The Red Room. Due to limited space, it’s recommended to book this event in advance, though some sailings may offer it on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to check your event lineup or ask a cast member for details about availability on your specific cruise.
