The Parklangley Club is one of the largest tennis, squash and badminton clubs in the UK, running a successful racket sports programme, coaching over 2000 players of all ages and abilities each week. It’s a thriving sports facility, staffed by a dedicated team of office, reception and bar staff, over 25 tennis, squash and badminton coaches and 4 S&C coaches / physical trainers.
In December 2025, we completely refurbished the gym, updating all equipment for the 1200 gym members. Alongside the gym we have a dedicated, fully equipped 1362m training facility – used for classes and private clients.
The S&C section of the club has a strong pedigree of supporting youth athletes, including Emma Raducanu (US Open Winner 2021) and Georgina Kennedy (Commonwealth Gold Medallist in squash 2022). The youth coaching programme is integral to our core values at the club, and we continue our close links with LTA in delivering an U10 Performance Programme. We’re looking for someone who can help build the youth programme.
The club is in the early stages of increasing our group exercise provision for our adult sports players and general population – building this part of the programme is high on our priority list.
The overall client base requiring support is varied, so we are looking to appoint 1 or 2 motivated S&C coaches or physical trainers to work with the Head of S&C/Gym Manager and existing team of trainers and coaches. The successful candidate(s) will have the opportunity to build their business working with our athletes, our gym members and delivering group exercise classes.
