Club Spirit - Testimonial
Helen Roberts – Lifestyle Consultant, Chester
I graduated from university in 2004 with a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science. Following my degree, I then decided to take two years out to travel the world. On my return, I was set to return to university to study Sports Management, but at the same time felt I now needed to start gaining experience in the real world of work.
That’s when I began exploring my options and came across Spirit Health Clubs. I was immediately attracted by the quality of training they provided and the opportunities to progress and develop my career. I have been with the company for six months now, and have already gained much more in terms of qualifications and personal development than I could ever have hoped for.
I began by completing my St. John’s First Aid at Work and NARS Pool Attendant courses. I was then provided with in-house training and completed Spirit Health Club’s Gym Foundation Course. This gave me an excellent base to build on and complete my Gym Instructor qualification. Spirit Health Clubs provided this course through their own industry-recognised qualification, which is approved at Level Two on REPs. The training and support I am receiving is second to none.
I have also qualified as a Body Balance Instructor and now hold a regular class at the club. Career development within Spirit Health Clubs is excellent, and I would certainly recommend them to anyone wishing to work in the leisure industry. I will soon be doing my Advanced Instructor, Personal Training and Management Modules, again all provided through Spirit Health Clubs.
Within my own areas of responsibility, I am continuously learning and developing valuable skills. There is a highly professional approach, but at the same time Spirit Health Clubs is a very friendly, relaxed and team-focused workplace.
