Meet our venue manager
As we prepare for our health club opening this November we’d love to introduce our Venue Manager, Jim Harris!
Jim brings a wealth of experience to Victoria Health Club not only in venue management but also in personal training. For Jim, Victoria Health Club is “thoughtfully designed to cater to everyone.” The club is full of equipment typically reserved for elite athletes and now this equipment is being made accessible to members of the wider community.
“Our schedule will be packed with a variety of classes,” says Jim. These classes include Reformer Pilates classes and, as a first of its kind, guided recovery classes. “Whether you’re a local athlete aiming to enhance your performance or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, we invite you to join us in these restorative sessions.”
Jim looks forward to Victoria Health Club’s opening and being able to build an atmosphere where the VHC team can “connect with and support each member who walks through our doors.”
If you see Jim around at VHC be sure to say hello! Jim is always up for a coffee and a chat with members and guests alike!
Q&A with Jim
1. What is your job title, and does it involve?
J: As the Venue Manager I’ oversee all gym, group exercise, recovery, Pilates and GOswim activities at Victoria Health Club.
2. How do you spend your spare time? What are your hobbies?
J: I’m an avid gardener and cook. So I’m usually plotting around in my garden or attempting to cook something different.
3. Do you have any pets/kids?
J: I have an adopted greyhound who sleeps for about 16 hours a day.
4. What makes Vic Health Club different to other community venues?
J: We are a unique facility that offers almost everything. Being that we are also the training facilities for elite-level cricketers, we have specialized equipment and purpose-built recovery services that the whole community can get involved with.
5. What would you say to anyone who aren’t sure where to start with their fitness journey
J: Even though we use the same high-performance facilities as the Victorian cricketers, we are a welcoming space to assist with any goal you may be looking to achieve.
