Virgin Active Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your comments. I hope that during your time working for us you managed to speak to your line Manager about progression as this is something that we take great pride in. As you know we do not charge PTs for rent like our competitors, therefore we give our PTs a great start, thank you for pointing that out. Thank you, Radha.
