WE DID IT! Celebrating our Dam tot Dam success!

What an incredible weekend! We’re so proud to celebrate the success of one of our clients in the Netherlands, whose team took on the Dam tot Dam race this past weekend.

Everyone finished strong, representing their organisation with amazing energy, enthusiasm and team spirit!

A massive THANK YOU to everyone involved:

• To our runners – for your hard work, commitment and outstanding achievement!
• To our supporters – for lining the route and bringing such incredible energy and encouragement.
• To everyone who donated – together, you have already raised around €2,000 for the Movement on the Ground Foundation, helping to make a real difference.

The Well@Work team is incredibly proud to have supported such a fantastic event and to see colleagues coming together through wellbeing, activity and a shared sense of community.

It was a brilliant team effort, and we can’t wait to see even more people getting involved in next year’s event!

Congratulations to everyone who took part – enjoy the achievement and the memories!

Here’s to the next Well@Work event! 🎉

On Wednesday 16th September we joined the nation in celebrating National Fitness Day; an occasion which brings the world of fitness to the nation and encourages everyone to partake in exercise.

Our groupwide event this year saw us attempt to cover the mileage from our most Northern venue, to our most Southern, a total of 775 miles taking in 17 of our clubs locations on the route. The miles could be covered by any means possible; and we saw people cycling, running, walking, rowing and even swimming to help us achieve the total… which we did we subsequent ease. In total over 2k miles were covered across the group.

There was also additional classes, well-being events, and open days taking place at some of the sites. All ways to encourage people into the World of fitness.

The event, as always, was coordinated from head office by our Digital Marketing Manager, Andy Rudkin, who added ‘Every year we aim to do better than the last, and again, we feel like we have. Seeing that many miles clocked up across our clubs was amazing to witness. It’s now my job to top it again in 2027!’

It has been a pleasure to be part of the journey of developing and launching Dolphin House Club & Spa at Dolphin Square.

Located in the heart of Pimlico, Dolphin Square is an iconic residential estate that brings together considered London living, 3.5 acres of Grade II-listed gardens and a welcoming community, placing wellbeing at the heart of the resident experience.

At the centre of the estate is Dolphin House, a dedicated destination for fitness, wellbeing, hospitality and co-working, as well as home to Dolphin House Serviced Apartments. The Club & Spa has been thoughtfully designed to complement the wider Dolphin Square experience, creating spaces where residents, guests and members can move, relax, recharge and connect.

Dolphin House Club & Spa offers a premium fitness experience, with an outdoor riverside tennis court, squash courts, a dedicated cycle and boxing studio and an indoor swimming pool, alongside extensive spa facilities. Together, these amenities provide a holistic approach to health and wellbeing within the community.

The Dolphin House Spa provides a tranquil sanctuary away from the pace of the city, offering residents and members a place to slow down, restore balance and take time for themselves.

Paul Dickinson, South Operations Director at 3d leisure, said:
“It has been an exciting journey bringing Dolphin House Club & Spa to this point, with all services now fully operational. What has made the project particularly rewarding has been the close collaboration between the 3d and Dolphin Square teams.

We have worked as one team, sharing a common ambition to create an exceptional fitness and spa experience that adds real value to life at Dolphin Square. We are proud of what has been achieved and look forward to continuing to build and enhance the experience for residents and members.”

A great example of what can be achieved when teams share the same ambition: to create places that support healthier, happier and more connected ways of living.

Following continued growth and success we felt it was time for our website to reflect where 3d leisure is today.

Our new website is now live — bringing together our people, our experience, our approach and the work we do across the workplace, hotel, education, residential and private club sectors.

A fresh look, but the same 3d Leisure focus: great people, great service and an operational edge.

Take a look – we would welcome your feedback https://www.3dleisure.com/

Employee appraisals are standard within most organisations, giving line managers the opportunity to provide feedback to their team. At 3d we like to look at this as a two way process so we also ask all employees to provide feedback on their line managers on an annual basis. This process gives us valuable feedback that enables us to identify issues, acknowledge good performance and continually develop our managers and management processes.

We have just completed our latest round of surveys and some key take-aways for us were:
• Among those who would strongly recommend their manager, Communication, Responsiveness, Team Support and Collaboration were the most frequently cited strengths.
• 87% of those who strongly recommend their manager also strongly agree that their manager motivates and encourages them to perform at their best.
• 86% of open-ended comments about what managers do well were positive, indicating strong appreciation for manager strengths.
• 95% of respondents would recommend their Account Manager as a good leader, indicating strong overall confidence in regional management.
• 88% of respondents strongly agree their manager is approachable and available when support is needed, reflecting high accessibility.

Leah Howels, HR Manager, who coordinated the survey and collated the responses said ‘This year’s feedback is a real testament to our managers’ efforts. The positive feedback surrounding high levels of approachability and accessibility is a significant achievement, especially given the challenges of operating across such a broad and geographic-dispersed footprint spanning the UK and Europe. With rotas and shifts not always overlapping, alongside the increasing trend of virtual working and management, maintaining strong communication and connection takes real commitment. We will continue to look for room for improvement, but year-on-year the feedback continues to demonstrate the positive impact our managers are having on their teams. A huge thank you to all our managers for their continued hard work and commitment to supporting their teams — it really is appreciated!’
