People are great - fun, easy going and supportive team. A company that’s open minded and not boring or stuffy like some old businesses floating around.

Cons

no Direct affiliation with and thus no discounts from virgin airlines

Hi there, Thanks for the 5 star review, it's great to hear you're enjoying being part of the Virgin Active Family! We're really proud of our people and our culture and it's lovely to hear you're enjoying and embracing that within your role.
