Pros

Having worked here for over 5 years it has been an absolute please. I started my journey as a fitness coach and haven't looked back since. A company where hard work and willingness to learn is truly recognised you can move up the ranks into management. Along the way there are great tools to learn and develop for all roles. Best of all is the people you work with and learn from. Over the years I have made some true friends and learnt skills I never thought I would achieve. Virgin Active is a company that recruit people with a certain type of DNA that epitomises our brand with a work hard play hard attitude. Once you get to management it doesn't stop there. I'm now on a future leader course which goes through various skills ensuring you to be ready and the next General Manager at Virgin.

Cons

With the recent sale of clubs opportunities to move up the ranks appeared to have slowed down from what they were. New roles such as mine as Assistant General Manger are now available which bridges that gap for the next move.

5 star review!! That’s awesome, thank you so much. I am so pleased to hear about your Journey through Virgin Active as it’s exactly what we like to encourage. This is a great example of the possibilities and opportunities that can open up for you over time. Virgin Active have sold Clubs recently to focus on clubs that we have done so well with. It’s great that you’ve still found opportunities to progress. I am so pleased you’re enjoying our Future Leader’s programme getting you ready to become a General Manager of the future. Development is a huge part of the Virgin Active DNA and will continue to implement this now and in the future. Radha.
