Pros

The employees are great. Working hard doing long hours for terrible pay. Free gym membership Office is dress-down, so jeans are the norm

Cons

Massive employee turnover Have sold over half of their clubs in the past 3 years and continue to struggle financially Low salaries and poor benefits other than the gym memberships

Firstly I would like to say what an amazing achievement to have stayed with Virgin active for more than 10 years, thank you for all of your hard work. This industry does have high turnover due to the nature of business, we do however encourage all of our staff to develop themselves in the business with any opportunities they feel is right for them while offering a wide range development courses to enable them to up skill. We are at a strong stage in the business where our offering is growing and appealing to the demands of new and existing members. We really appreciate your comments and if you would like to discuss anything further please do not hesitate to contact me at peoplehub@virginactive.co.uk. Many thanks, Radha.
