Thirdly, we have several departments within Motive8 if you decide you’d like to move into a different area of leisure management (for example, maintenance or gym design).
Testimonials

Working for M8 has had such a positive impact on my life as a whole. Having a job that brings together a love and passion for health, wellbeing and fitness along with a skill set/knowledge had been something I really wished for. I am pleased to say I work in a job I love and never dread Mondays!

I am approaching 15 years at motive8 this year and there is a simple reason for that – I love my job and the people I work with. Motive8 is like my second family. Over the years they have supported me without fail, allowed me to develop my creativity, build my knowledge and I know that, if I ever need anything, I can ask for help.

My journey with Motive8 started end of July, 2017, knowing almost nothing about the residential facilities, and on how these are operating, including procedures, let alone my English language level. But I started committed to learn everything about the role, helped patiently by senior management. The biggest challenge started after 4 years, in 2021, when I got promoted as gym and spa manager, but all senior Management held my hand, guiding my steps through the learning process. The best support I received from both of them was their unshakable confidence that I am able to overcome challenges no matter the situation, and having this motivation every day, it made a big difference. I could honestly say that I grew up as a member of Motive8 family, and I'm continuing to do so.
