Virgin Active South Africa Reviews

 

I've learned in dealing with different needs oo and learned to make sure each individual needs.

My job w as very challenging, cause you have to certisfy diversity of each individual, making sure they are happy and their goal capacity is met. I love my job cause it depends intirely to my ideas, cause as an instructor you are a leader, therefore everyone that comes to my classroom follows what I say and they live my classroom happy wanting to comeback for mor I. I love my cow-Workers cause when ever we meet we brain storm ideas to keep our classes exciting and we support each other as team, we cover for each other when one can not make it for the class to keep our clients happy at all times. The most challenging aspect of my job is the fact that we work with stats, the less attendency your class get then it gets removed from the timetable and you'll sit jobless and, working different times can be difficult for one to spent with your family. Cause you have no holidays

Pros: These very limited promotion in this type of work, cause mostly its freelance work
Cons: I work as please, cause I freelance, i have classes mostly in the afternoon, so don't have to wake up early.

It's been a good learning experience and I've grown a lot

Virgin active has been a good place to start and build myself as a working individual. The people I've worked with have been great but like most work places there are ups and downs. However, I still look forward to my days at the club to interact with other people which I struggled with growing up and now I just love. A typical day for me starts with setting up the club for opening and then getting ready for my group exercise classes and thereafter making sure members are having a good experience everyday. I've learnt the art of selling products to people, customer retention, how to deal with conflict as effectively as possible, how to interact with people while staying my true self... I enjoy doing classes and also selling products and myself as a fitness trainer. The most challenging thing would be trying to make members happy everyday.

Pros: Good opportunity for growth
Cons: Shift times

Wonderful working experience

I worked well with different people... people with different positions in their work environment .. I adapt easily as well as a great pleasure to work with. Working at Virgin Active taught me a certain level of discipline and how to win on a daily basis I was honered and humbled to be part of team..The most challenging part was having to be professional at all times as that was our company policy. .My typical day was fun I enjoyed working with different types of people from different backgrounds.. I have learnt to work with people as an individual.

Pros: Great working benefits and opportunities
Cons: Long working hours
