I’ve been with Anglian Leisure Linton since January 2025 following 25-years in the Royal Navy, where I served as a Physical Training Instructor of which the last 10+ years I was also a specialist exercise rehabilitation instructor, helping wounded service personnel back to the front line. Since departure from the Military in 2024 I completed a year as an Operations Manager at a leisure facility, specialising in Health and Safety, before joining the Anglian Learning Trust. With an extensive background in competitive swimming from youth, right through to master’s and coaching as a qualified Level 2 ASA Coach and working towards civilian accreditation as a PT, I am passionate about health and fitness and look forward to continually driving improvement to provided services and routines to the betterment of the surrounding community.

Hi I’m Freya and I have been working at Anglian Leisure Linton...
Hi I’m Freya and I have been working at Anglian Leisure Linton for 3 years. I became a duty manager nearly a year ago, picking up lots of opening shifts. I really enjoy working at Anglian Leisure Linton and have built some amazing friendships over the years, along with lots of knowledge and experience! I am currently working for a local dog walker and am hoping to continue picking up more days/ hours. I am really enjoying this period of work, particularly due to working with my favourite animals!

Hi! I’m Sophie and I’ve been part of the Anglian Leisure Linton team...
Hi! I’m Sophie and I’ve been part of the Anglian Leisure Linton team for over five years as a Duty Manager, helping to keep the centre running smoothly and making sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable visit.
When I’m not at the leisure centre, you’ll find me working as a Teaching Assistant in a primary school. I really enjoy supporting children and helping them grow, and I’m currently exploring future opportunities in childcare.
As for fitness… well, my interests are definitely more food-related than gym-related! While I can tell you where all the equipment is, I’m probably more excited about what’s for dinner than smashing a new personal best. Thankfully, working at a leisure centre helps me keep a good balance.

I joined Anglian Leisure in early...
I joined Anglian Leisure in early 2023, initially as a member attending fitness classes, where I quickly discovered a genuine passion for health, fitness, and the leisure industry. This passion inspired me to pursue a career within the organisation, starting as a Leisure Attendant and progressing to Duty Manager. Alongside my role, I achieved my Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification, which enabled me to begin leading bootcamp sessions at Linton. Building on this, I went on to complete my Level 3 Personal Training qualification. I now have the privilege of working with a wide range of clients, supporting and motivating them to achieve their individual fitness goals. Outside of work, I continue to develop my own fitness by training regularly in the gym!

Hi, my name is Sammy and I’ve been a Duty Manager at Anglian Leisure...
Hi, my name is Sammy and I’ve been a Duty Manager at Anglian Leisure Linton for the past four years. No two days are ever the same, and that’s one of the things I enjoy most about the role.
Last year, I took on my biggest role yet—becoming a first-time mum! It’s definitely been my toughest (and most rewarding) job so far. I’ve become an expert in functioning on less sleep than I’d ever thought possible, and my multitasking skills have reached a whole new level! When I’m at work, I enjoy supporting both our team and our members, and I’m always happy to help with any questions or make your visit a great one. Whether I’m managing the centre or chasing after a busy toddler, there’s never a dull moment!
