Work history

receptionist and spa host

David Lloyd Leisure
Raynes Park, Merton
07.2024 - Current

Working as a receptionist in the spa at David Lloyd since July 2024 has been a fantastic journey. Each day, I interact with a diverse group of people, from team members to club members, making my job exciting and dynamic. With around 4,000 members visiting the Friends Park location every single day, there’s always something happening. I enjoy the challenge of addressing their needs and inquiries, which can range from simple questions to complex situations that require careful attention and patience.

One of the most interesting aspects of my role is dealing with different types of members. Some members come in with smiles and greetings, looking for ways to relax and enjoy their time at the spa. Others might be frustrated, needing help with their membership or facility issues. Regardless of their mood, I strive to provide top-notch service every time. I know that members pay a significant fee for their experience, so I aim to ensure that they feel valued and satisfied during their visits.

My experience has taught me the importance of listening and empathy in my role. When a member approaches me with a concern, I make sure to acknowledge their feelings and provide solutions as best as I can. It’s rewarding to see their expressions change from frustration to gratitude when I can help them. Building these relationships fosters a sense of community, which is vital in a place like David Lloyd where members come to unwind and enjoy their leisure time. Each interaction is an opportunity to create a positive experience.
