Fitness & Martial Arts Academy

Britney thank you very much for your comments, however I feel this is quite rich coming from you, someone who claims to be a level 3 personal trainer, however you clearly choose not to integrate with the rest of the team when we went all together to train in the gym or to do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and we definitely felt a sense of "it was below you" and intact you no interest in fitness at all so maybe that's why you felt like a housekeeper.

You carried out the morning tasks that take no longer than 30 minutes at a snail pace, very slowly and with an uncaring, lazy manner.

You couldn't keep up with basic home tasks like taking a vacuum around the kitchen, or wiping down the worktops, you would fold only your own laundry and noone else's which in turn created a tremendous amount of resentment and anger from other volunteers resulting in them having to ask you many times to pull your weight.

You was explained to in the interview that this is a very busy and active volunteering project you mentioned during interview that you was excited to start volunteering with the charity program we run with children however in the first class you had to be asked by the head coach to wake up and help to take control of the children and after when downloading to me how the class went you said you thought it went quite well, but compained why there is so many children with ADHD "they were so so crazy and misbehaving" which doesn't seem to me like a person who likes to be around children or was happy to work in a program with children.

You mentioned that the position is more housekeeping, however we don't feel that housekeeping includes wiping down the worktops that you eat from or helping to clean the dishes after I have made food for everybody that evening.... and making food whilst all the volunteers was enjoying a free Brazilian jiu-jitsu class, or doing the laundry which includes your own things.. you sure have a lot to learn and a long way to grow.

Yes we do take our volunteers out Saturdays and Sundays as we feel a strong team / family atmosphere, but do refuse to take any volunteer that doesn't join the team, doesn't pull their weight, and refuses to fit in.
Brittany, yes we did take a volunteer out and left you at home, however it was only one volunteer and the rest of the family was all at home, you wasn't left alone with another girl.. we simply took this volunteer out because she helped us out the weekend before but however what would you know about teamwork!

All the volunteers that were here during your stay including the one that you said was left alone with you whilst we went out for the weekend (1 day) were all very taken back by your negative message and would all like to give you their opinion about your work and team ethics.

To finish on this note, after offering volunteering positions for the last 7 years I've never met someone so arrogant and unwilling to work in the team.
It's a shame I gave you five stars, however wanted to give you an opportunity for a future volunteering project, if I could redo my review it would be zero Stars.
