01 Oct 2014 Members’ Choice Health Club Awards 2014: The winners list in full BY Jak Phillips |
Birmingham’s Motorcycle Museum was the scene for the glittering Members’ Choice Health Club Awards 2014 this evening (30 September), which saw a cross-section of top-performing operators collect accolades based solely on the views of their members. More than 250 health and fitness leaders gathered on the first evening of Leisure Industry Week to celebrate industry achievements over the past 12 months. Nearly 35,000 votes were cast for the various entrants - a mixture of small independents, public leisure centres, hotel clubs and some of the best known brands in the industry. Now in its fourth year, the award scheme is unique because the winning clubs are decided by ratings given by members when completing an online survey. The awards, presented in partnership with Health Club Management magazine, measure the quality of customer service, facilities and value for money provided. Clubs compete regionally in three categories – Budget, Mid Market or Premium and there are national categories for chains and the Grand Prix award for Best Club in the UK. As well as recognising clubs, the awards also put the spotlight on individual staff in the People Awards category. As in recent years, TV personality Mark Durden-Smith continued his role as ebullient host of the awards, serving as an entertaining compere throughout the evening and uttering the sweet sounds of victory for the deserved winners.
