Everyone Active is a leading leisure management company. We currently operate over 140 leisure and cultural facilities across the UK in partnership with 40 local authorities.
We’re always looking to add new talent to the Everyone Active team, and our 12-month apprenticeships are perfect for fitness enthusiasts looking to start a career in leisure. With roles for budding gym instructors, recreation assistants, receptionists, lifeguards and swimming instructors, you’ll be sure to find the perfect apprenticeship for you. Each programme presents a fantastic opportunity for enthusiastic and energetic 16-24-year-olds to work as part of a friendly team to provide fun, safe and quality experiences for all of our customers.
Our apprentices also earn while they learn during the 12-month programme, as well as enjoying a number of other great benefits from Everyone Active including:
• Free membership to over 140 sport and leisure centres nationwide
• Free online access to all classes, workouts and online training plans
• 25% off sports coaching courses, swimming lessons and Fit For Sport activity camps for your children during school holidays
• Team building days with senior management encouraging a healthy work/life balance
We are as passionate about our people as we are about encouraging everyone to take part in activity. Colleagues are our greatest asset – they represent our brand and help to drive the business forward.
Our aim is to help each individual to progress and develop in a way that enables them to realise their full potential.
Th is is why Everyone Active works in partnership with leading training company Lifetime and the Institute of Swimming to deliver comprehensive training and development opportunities. In the last four years, over 1,000 Everyone Active colleagues have started an apprenticeship within Everyone Active-managed leisure centres and most have gone on to full-time roles within the company. Career development can be rapid, and we encourage apprentices to put themselves forward for internal promotion.
Everyone Active apprenticeships are available nationwide, and are a great way to start a career. We lead the way in the industry in supporting members of our team to realise their potential, and apprenticeships enable them to gain skills and knowledge at a recognised level.
“Not all school leavers want to join a college or sixth form to study A-Levels, and the increased cost of university places is making some people think twice about going,” says Everyone Active group training manager, Harvey Gosling. “Everyone Active apprenticeships present a great opportunity for young people aged - who are interested in working in the fitness and leisure industry. Not only would you receive comprehensive training and a modest income, you would also have excellent career prospects at the end of your apprenticeship with us.”

SUCCESS STORIES
• CHELSEA HANEY - 20, Sales Manager
| | Chelsea has been at Watford Central Leisure Centre for three years and feels part of the Everyone Active family. |
“I was working in fast food before I applied for the apprenticeship, but I’ve always been interested in fitness and was desperate to get into the industry I loved. Joining Watford Central was the best thing that could have happened.
I started as a Fitness Apprentice, then gained my Personal Training Level 3 qualification, and over time added on courses in PowerPlate, functional training, pre- and postnatal and aqua aerobics – I was keen to learn and absorb as much as I could. I quickly progressed to assistant fitness manager, then sales manager. Being presented with such great opportunities brought out my ambitious side!
Everyone Active were so supportive, helping me progress and making me feel welcome as part of the team. Learning on the job is a fantastic way to develop as a young person, and Everyone Active really want to make you the best you can be.”
• BILLY ROSS - 20, Team Leader
| | Billy is a Team Leader at Northolt Leisure Centre.
Having always been interested in fitness and sport, but without any qualifications or experience, an apprenticeship gave Billy the perfect opportunity to earn and learn. |
“I’ve always been keen on swimming, so the Everyone Active team helped me to gain qualifications in lifeguarding, as well as enrolling me onto a Leisure Operations Level 2 course with Lifetime Fitness.
When I successfully completed my one-year apprenticeship, I moved into a full-time role.
I’ve been working here for over a year, and I’ve loved every minute of it! My colleagues have all supported me in learning about the leisure industry and I’ve worked very hard to progress.
Th e support I was given enabled me to move up the ranks quickly and I was promoted to team leader aft er just a few months. Being given the opportunity to take on more responsibility has helped build my confidence and become adept at managing and ensuring the centre runs smoothly.”
• HARRY HURST - 19, Trainee Duty Manager
| | Harry has worked his way up to Site Safety Assistant. He’s now training to become a duty manager, and relishing the opportunity to learn. |
“Sixth Form study wasn’t for me, so when a friend suggested I try an apprenticeship, I jumped at the chance.
I’ve always been into sports and fitness, and am interested in becoming a personal trainer and working around the world!
To complete my apprenticeship, I studied for and passed the NLPQ lifeguarding quali cation and Gym Instructing Level course. I’ve since progressed to a full time role at Swan Pool, shadowing senior staff to build on my experience.
I really enjoyed the courses and training Everyone Active offers and my colleagues have been really helpful in teaching me new skills.
I’d encourage anyone interested in the fitness industry to consider an Everyone Active apprenticeship, there are so many opportunities for continual development and you can progress quickly and achieve something significant.”
• NICOLE COLLIN - 18, Membership Consultant
| | Nicole joined Sunbury Leisure Centre in October and has progressed from a Front of House apprentice to a full time membership consultant. |
“I used to do a lot of sports at school, and have always been interested in learning more about the fitness industry, so when a front of house apprenticeship came up at Sunbury Leisure Centre I decided to go for it.
I got a lot of support from the Everyone Active team, including regular meetings with my line manager and on-the-job training. I also completed my Customer Service Level qualification and am now studying for an NVQ in sales.
Interacting with customers and people on the phone every day has helped a lot with my confidence and I moved into sales in August . I’m now a full time membership consultant, which I really enjoy.
I think apprenticeships are a great introduction to the work environment and help young people to become more mature, so when you do start working full-time, you’re ready for it.”
