Pros

Really great place to work. Fun and relaxed atmosphere throughout the organization and I learned a lot from my managers at the time.

Cons

Cannot really think of anything that made it unpleasant. If anything, I would say the fun and relaxed environment maybe came at the cost of professionalism but barely.

Pros

A fun and enjoyable environment. If you have the right guidance and a good Fitness Manager you can do well.

Cons

Can be left on your own without much support or guidance. Success is largely down to your own self-motivation or a good fitness manager

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It's great to hear you enjoyed the environment and seemed to have a great Manager! I'll pass your comments on regarding Managers motivating PT's to see what more we can do to encourage this even more.

Pros

Gym membership- virgin Tribe - free Personal training or discounts in swimming lessons - friendly members and sometimes good staff.

Cons

Lifeguard, receptionist and cleaner same salary (minimum wage) . People are sick all the time so they are always under staff. One person must work for three. They pay the minimum wage but they expect from you the most exceptional qualities. They can't find lifeguards cause they start at 5 am with £7 x hour. Can you pay a taxi at 5 am when they pay you £7 x hour? There is no tube at 4-5 am. Oh yes you can bike at 4 am.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. It's great that you enjoyed the benefits of your complimentary membership & Virgin Tribe card giving you access to other Virgin company discounts! I appreciate your other comments and appreciate our operating hours aren't for everyone, especially if they don't live very close to the club. All the best, Jeanette
