Testimonials
"We would like to thank the Fitness Direct team for helping us generate over 140 qualified leads in 5 days. They were professional and friendly in their approach, they were great brand ambassadors for our club in the local shopping centre. The team were also ready to give some pointers to our sales team on how to best engage a person once they came down to the club with their 28 day pass. Would definitely recommend!"
ADAM DEANE - Director, GENESIS KELMSCOTT WA
"Working at Fitness Direct was a fantastic experience. As a backpacker it fitted perfectly with my plans due to the easy and straightforward recruitment process and very quick start. Also the fact that there was no conflict of interests regarding needing to commit to staying in the role for a long time if you had plans to move on. A few weeks or a few months was equally possible. I really enjoyed meeting fellow backpackers in the role and it was a great chance to make new friends and connections. Having the chance to work at different locations was another great aspect of the job. Finally the opportunity to make a decent amount of money was great, as long as you had the right skills and work ethic it was possible to earn a good amount. Over a few months I was able to cover my living costs and save enough to fund my next adventure"

"Wanted to say a big thanks in advance for the work at Caroline Springs this week. I was blown away by 39 leads from outreach and call centre combined on the first day. The guys in the club were rapt that they had a booked appointment show at 10am this morning from our out-sourcing. I'm sure, based on the results so far this will be our most successful campaign yet!"
JOSH TIMMS - Regional Sales Manager, Goodlife Healthclubs
“It was an adventure of a lifetime!!!” I was interested in Fitness Direct because I love talking to people, travel and staying in shape. I came in as a Sr Sales Rep and ended up hiring a team and being able to travel to Perth, Brisbane, throughout Victoria and other sunny locations. It was easy talking about something that is your passion (fitness) and your way of life. Also working with others who are fit and naturally energized through healthy living. You end up encouraging others around the nation, to get back in shape or just looking for a great excuse or savings to join a new club. We partnered with large global fitness giants like GoodLife Gyms, AnyTime Fitness and even boutiques fitness/ bootcamp clinics. I loved working with Rick, the MD, who not only has great fitness connections but delivers amazing sales results through Fitness Direct. To this day, I still workout daily and live healthily after 30 years of fitness. Thanks Fitness Direct!

DERMOT BOYLE – Franchisee, Anytime Fitness Langwarrin & Greensborough
"Fitness Direct was a fantastic organisation to work for. In my role as National Call Centre Manager I worked with some very enthusiastic phone agents and Health Club Managers and Stakeholders. We gave our staff full training and prepared them for the world that is ‘cold calling’. We provided a professional workplace that motivated staff to meet set KPI's. Senior management were very good to deal with on a day to day basis, with full support on all aspects of the business. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Fitness Direct and learnt a considerable amount during that period”
WENDELL PERUMAL - National Call Centre Manager, FDA (2012-2013)
"Working with Fitness Direct has been one of the best working experiences I've had in my lifetime. As a single mother of a child diagnosed with Aspergers disease it's not easy finding employment around that lifestyle. Not only was Fitness Direct understanding of the responsibilities I had already had outside work they were flexible with work hours as to fit in around school hours. Couldn't fault the company, it's been an experience i would recommend to anyone. ”
