I started training as a fitness instructor in 2001, where my 3d career began. After some personal development training from the 3d management team I progressed to a supervisory role and achieved my level 3 personal training qualification. I later achieved a diploma in management. After various roles within the 3d portfolio I was promoted to Club Manager of the very club my career started. The role of Club Manager has been really fulfilling, it was great to see how much the club had developed after some refurbishment and additional management services. I am now looking forward to my new RM role to take my experience and broad health club operational knowledge to other sites, to develop them and make them stronger under 3d leisure.
