Fitness trainers wanted

A health and fitness group with a centre in Renfrew is looking to recruit fitness trainers from all walks of life.

David Lloyd Leisure is keen to hear from people of all ages who may be looking for a change in direction and can bring invaluable life experience, empathy and communication skills to the fitness group’s 99 clubs across the UK.

In 2019, David Lloyd Leisure became the first company of its kind to commit to having a fitness trainer aged 55 or over in every one of its clubs on average.

The pledge, to be completed by the end of 2022, was made to encourage a more age-diverse environment in its gyms so that everyone feels at ease whatever their age or fitness level.

Lucy Day, head of gym at David Lloyd Leisure, said: “The pandemic has prompted more of us than ever to reevaluate our purpose in life and we know that many people are thinking about changing careers at this time.

“If you have a passion for fitness and a desire to make a positive difference to people’s lives, then becoming a fitness trainer could be for you.

“Age is most certainly not a barrier, and we’re looking to hear from people from all life stages and backgrounds.”

Applicants do not need to have fitness training experience, but they will need to have achieved the entry Level 2 in Fitness qualification.
