Every leisure centre relies on its dedicated early-bird staff, the ones who roll out of a warm bed and rock up at dawn, braving the frosty, pitch-black winter mornings day after day without fail. While the rest of the world is still hitting the snooze button, these team members are already out on the floor, prepping the equipment and setting the standard for the day ahead.
They don’t just show up to clock in; they bring the energy. This month, the focus is on highlighting the incredible staff who physically and mentally warm up the facilities with their resilient, upbeat attitudes. Their dedication is contagious, proving that a little cold weather is absolutely no match for a strong work ethic and positive outlook.
Meet Courtney, Our Operations Manager!
Courtney is the ultimate early-morning MVP here at Melton Waves, serving as the true heartbeat of our dawn operations. For those who attend the centre regularly, they will know that Courtney is here every single morning at 4:30 AM without fail. Long before the sun even thinks about coming up, she is braving the early alarms and the bitter cold weather to ensure the facility is perfectly prepped, warm, and welcoming.
She doesn't just unlock the doors; she sets the entire tone for the day. Whether she is making sure the pool deck is ready, checking the gym floor, or greeting every single person who walks through the doors with a genuinely warm and enthusiastic smile, her positive energy is the best motivation for our early risers. She knows the regulars by name and makes sure everyone starts their workout on the right foot!
