Emma
the group ex queen
I started out working for Virgin Active UK, where joined
as a Fitpro before discovering my passion for everything Group Exercise. After a few years and a few different clubs,
I decided to spread my wings and hop on a plane down under to see what other
adventures were out there. Fast forward nearly 3 years and I am managing the
Group Exercise programs across both of our Melbourne clubs – a typical day
could be anything from pulling on the training gear and teaching a bunch of
classes or sitting at my computer analysing the timetable to see what we can do
to make group exercise even better. If you were looking for me, best chance of
spotting me would be in a studio rehearsing choreography – I just about live in
the studios! What I love the most about working at Virgin Active is what the
company stands for, never have I believed more in a company’s values. We want
to make the world a more active place by making working out less intimidating
and more fun – how could you not love a company who believes in that!
Q:
Favourite excuse for not exercising?
A:
Well, most days I don’t really have a
choice, if I’m not exercising neither are our members! BUT favourite thing to
do other than exercising? Breakfast and coffee ( how Melbourne of me) any
excuse - anytime of the day!
