Pros

Free Gym membership for you and a friend. Short shifts, good for students.

Cons

Left on poolside on your own for 90 minutes at a time. Can be long and boring.

Virgin Active Response

We really appreciate the time you have taken to leave your comments. The pay at Virgin Active is competitive within the industry and can be reviewed annually. I am concerned that any aspect of work may have caused you stress. If you would like to speak to me further about this matter please contact me at peoplehub@virginactive.co.uk As you have mentioned our perks of the free gym membership we also have the flexibility in hours for students and for a wide range of employees to suit their needs and I am glad to hear that this suits you. Thank you, Radha.
