Staff

Finding people who fit our values is really important to us, whether they are PT instructors, apprentice coaches, or working in finance, marketing and customer support. Together they help us achieve our mission to make more people live happier, healthier, more fulfilled lives.

We are proud to offer our staff a range of benefits.

Volunteers

From teaching exercise classes to performing gym inductions, our 250+ volunteers help to make YMCA Club the special place that it’s known for. In the last year alone, they’ve run 140 crèche sessions, carried out 2,080 inductions and served over 6,000 cups of tea.
