Esporta recognises club of the year
Club managers, fitness managers and sales staff were rewarded at health and fitness club operator Esporta’s recent Club of the Year event in Birmingham.
All clubs, including the company’s sites in Spain, were involved in the six regional award ceremonies, before going head to head for the overall Club of the Year award.
The Esporta Riverside Club in Chiswick eventually scooped the coveted award.
Other awards went to Esporta Northampton, which received Marketing Club of the Year and Esporta Glamorgan was awarded Clubability Club of the Year.
Standards of the Year went to Esporta Taunton, while Club Retention of the Year was awarded to Esporta Bolton. The award for the Most Improved Region went to Esporta Spain, which comprises seven clubs.
Jenny Astley, from Esporta Stafford, was voted Esporta’s Sales Person of the Year. “I believe that self motivation, determination and confidence makes a good sales person, but the most important skill is the art of listening, in order to understand individual needs,” she said. “Once this is realised, it can be used to fine tune the club’s offer, which helps individuals feel they belong to your club.”
