Pros

Colleagues and customers are friendly, fun and laid back. Great communication with managers. Everyone is passionate about the company's mission to be the most loved health club in the world.

Cons

The facilities do not make it easy to do a great job. You have to work hard to keep standards high despite cramped spaces and limited equipment.

Pros

Some of the best reasons were the fun, energetic employees. All with a passion for fitness. You have unlimited gym and pool access and they are big on internal promotions.

Cons

The pay was not very good and on more than one occasion i was paid incorrectly.

Thank you for the positive review, it's nice that you've taken the time to post your thoughts. It's great that you had such a fun team to work alongside, that really makes the difference! I'm glad you were able to utilise the complimentary buddy membership, as well as recognised our stance on internal promotions being such a big focus! It's a shame to hear you weren't paid correctly, we work really hard between our Payroll and club teams to ensure this is done properly, so I'm disappointed to hear we missed this with yourself. If this still needs resolving please do contact me directly at peoplehub@virginactive.co.uk FAO Jeanette. All the best, Jeanette

Thank you for your great review! It's brilliant to hear how much you're enjoying being part of the Virgin Active team, particularly that you're enjoying the culture and focus on progression, which is something we're really proud of. I hope you continue to get use out of the great discounts & VA buddy membership. Thank you for all your hard work! All the best, Jeanette
