Thank you for leaving your comments. I am glad that you enjoyed your free membership while being employed with us. The free membership does allow you access to other clubs amongst many other great benefits we have to offer. I am saddened that you felt that you were just a number. This is certainly not how we want our staff to feel. I hope that got to speak to your line manager about any issues you had? Please contact me at peoplehub@virginactive.co.uk to discuss this in more detail. Thank you, Radha.
