The role

At Virgin Active, our purpose is simple: to change people's lives through wellness.

We are evolving into social wellness clubs. Sophisticated, design-led spaces where movement, recovery, connection and community come together. Our ambition is to deliver a fully integrated approach to wellbeing, combining physical training, mental wellness, nutrition and social experience into one seamless member journey.

As a Personal Trainer, you are not just delivering sessions, you are shaping lifestyles, building confidence and playing a direct role in changing lives.

What you'll do

You will sit at the heart of the member experience, combining expertise, presence and commercial awareness.

You will:

  • Deliver exceptional one-to-one and small group personal training sessions
  • Design intelligent, personalised programmes aligned to each member's goals and lifestyle
  • Build meaningful relationships that drive long-term engagement and results
  • Grow your client base through proactive member interaction, experiences and referrals
  • Create standout fitness experiences that elevate the club environment
  • Collaborate with club teams to deliver a seamless, premium member journey
  • Track progress and continuously evolve your approach to maximise impact
  • Represent Virgin Active with energy, credibility and professionalism

How you'll work

Role Type: Permanent

Number of Hours: Zero Hours

A Different Model

This is not the traditional Personal Training model.

At Virgin Active, you are employed, giving you stability alongside flexibility and the opportunity to grow your earnings.

There is:

  • No rent to pay
  • No requirement to hold your own insurance
  • No upfront financial risk

Instead, you'll benefit from:

  • Structured onboarding with up to 110-120 paid hours of development in your first 8 weeks
  • A premium, engaged member base
  • A high-quality club environment designed for PT success
  • Access to an industry-leading Training Academy that supports your ongoing development

So you can focus on what matters most - delivering exceptional coaching and changing lives.

As part of our commitment to delivering cutting-edge wellness experiences, Virgin Active is now officially affiliated with HYROX.

This creates exciting opportunities for you to:

  • Deliver HYROX-inspired training sessions and programmes
  • Support members in preparing for competitive fitness events
  • Be part of a globally recognised performance movement
  • Build a niche and grow your client base within functional and performance training
