Pros

Great discounts and offers with Virgin, uniform provided, great training

Cons

Pretty bad pay, unsuitable hours, management didn't give much support

Virgin Active Response

Thanks for the review. It’s good to know that in the short time you worked for Virgin Active you got to enjoy the great discounts and training that was provided. I am sorry to hear that you felt unsupported by your Line manager and hope that this is something you highlighted to them. We take supporting all of our employees very seriously. Personal Trainers are given the opportunity to work as much as they like to build up clients and do not have to pay rent. We will take your comments on board. Thank you. Radha.
