    Have we met? We just might be the club you're looking for. At Virgin Active, we help our members to live happily ever active. For us, living active is more than just building muscles, dropping a few pounds or breaking a record. It’s about whatever makes you happy. It’s energy. It’s vitality. It’s that indefinable yet incredible awesome feeling you get from moving your body the way it’s meant to move.So much more than a gym. Any gym can make you sweat, but at Virgin Active we do it in style. Not to brag (ok, maybe a little) but our health clubs are quite simply world-class. From swimming pools, spas and saunas, to spacious workout areas and premium, state-of-the-art equipment.

    What’s it like working at Virgin Active?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees consistently praise the supportive and positive team culture at Virgin Active, highlighting friendly colleagues and a strong sense of the 'Virgin Family'. The excellent facilities, career development opportunities, and free gym membership are highly valued, along with the company's purpose-led approach to helping people improve their lives.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including concerns about management at higher levels being disconnected from club operations, long working hours that may impact work/life balance, and compensation levels that some feel could be improved. The fast-paced environment requires adaptability, and some roles involve additional responsibilities such as cleaning and sales targets.

    A once-strong brand weakened by senior leaders focused on managing up, not leading teams
    The good thingsExcellent facilities, member experience, a strong health and wellness offering, and a brand that was originally built around genuinely helping people improve their lives. The members were often the most rewarding part of the role.
    The challengesLeadership capability at CGM level and above, improved change management practices, greater transparency in decision-making, and a stronger focus on employee experience during periods of organisational change. Too often, changes felt reactive, poorly communicated, and disconnected from the realities faced by teams delivering the day-to-day member experience.

    Growth in all sense!
    The good thingsI enjoy working at Virgin Active because I am part of something that moves people forward, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. I enjoy the people. The ambition, the grit, the personalities that care deeply about winning and about each other. I am surrounded by leaders who want to grow, not settle and that sharpens you. I enjoy the challenge. This environment doesn’t let you coast. It asks you to think, to stretch, to lead with intent. Every month is a new race, and that keeps you alive in the work. I enjoy the pace and accountability. Virgin Active doesn’t hide behind excuses. Results matter. Standards matter. And when you bring your best, it’s recognised. And maybe most of all I enjoy that this place matches your values. Energy. Discipline. Ownership. Growth.
    The challengesClub Team work with members could be slightly better.
