As the manager of FF Luton what do you think of the day?
|
It’s been a fantastic day. I’ve arrived for work today and it looks like everybody is enjoying themselves.
|
|
| A judge turned competitor from Esporta Southampton. |
|
|
| Gary Dorman |
|
|
| Dave Coard ensuring the right technique and reps are counted. |
|
|
| Having not seen a X Training event before – would you like to see it done on a more regular basis |
Definitely. I think it should be done on a more regular basis. Maybe quarterly or something like that. A lot of members will reach their goals. |
|
| Life Fitness Treadmills stood up to the test on the day |
|
|
| Ensuring that every step of the way is recorded and fair . |
|
|
| Staff at Fitness First are notorious for getting the judging right. A job well done |
|
|
| Mark Drury organised this event. What are views form that perspective ? |
He’s done fantastic. He’s advertised it well in the club and worked very hard all over. When I came into the club today, the whole event had been set up and was in full flow. Mark was well on top of it every step of the way. |

I am trying to get an on line event going called Gymxtc – where members won’t have to travel to venues such as this and can do it in their own gym. What are your thoughts on that? |
| Good idea. Good for a member to do it in their own gym. |
|
| Fitness First crew all help out on the day. |
|
|
| What about you – Are you a sporty person. |
I am, but ironically working in gyms all my life I don’t really get much chance to work out. I was a swimmer and did a lot of X Country when I was younger. I love all types of sports especially – badminton, volleyball and basketball.

Best of friends compete together |

|
How long have you worked for fitness first? |
Roughly three months now.
Before this I was with Virgin Active for five years. I have worked in front of house , sales and operations.
. |
|
|
Have you seen much change in the Industry? |
It’s highly competitive now. It’s changed dramatically. Back in the day when I first started out it was quite easy to get members to join, but now you have to sell a lot of member benefits to get members to join
. |
|
|
And finally – what sort of advantage has fitness first got over any other club? |
| That’s easy , value for money. We are the cheapest out there for the service we provide and we provide everything we can for our members. We have great packages for members to meet their goals and we see great results. Fitness First is a fantastic product . |
