Business Outlook

Pros

The people are absolutely brilliant - both members and staff. The facilities are great, clean and well kept. It's great to train in the gym as there are loads of the latest innovations. We have monthyl education workshops which we gain in-house certificates for and also have the opportunity to go through the Virgin academy to further our education and make us better trainers. There are also great career progression options, whether this is into management, personal training or regional roles.

Cons

The pay is very low for the qualifications we have. A Level 2 fitness qualification costs around £1000 and quite a lot of knowledge and this isn't reflected in the pay. We, as fitness coaches, are only payed slightly more per hour than the membercare team and receptionists who do not need to hold any qualifications to do their job.

Virgin Active Response

Thank you for taking the time to post your review! It's great to hear all the brilliant things you enjoy about working at Virgin Active. Everyone's hard work is really paying off! It sounds like you get great value out of the in-house Fitness Academy. I'll certainly pass your comments regarding pay on to the Leadership team. Thanks for your continued efforts in making Virgin Active Chelmsford a great plan to train & work. All the best.
