DSWA – Employment Spotlight
🌟 Member Spotlight: Fraser 🌟
Since starting at Florida Beach Fitness in June 2026, Fraser has become a valued member of the team. His role includes keeping the gym floor clean and tidy, setting up and packing away fitness classes, maintaining equipment, and helping the coaches with whatever they need.
But Fraser’s contribution goes far beyond his job description.
He has recently started leading a cardio dance during the gym’s seniors’ class—a role he absolutely loves! Every week, Fraser learns a brand-new routine to lead participants in, bringing enthusiasm and energy to every class. He’s also known for warmly chatting with members, helping to run the music and timers, and enthusiastically joining in with classes.
The biggest change has been Fraser’s confidence. Since starting work, it has soared. He looks forward to every shift and has truly found a place where he belongs.
As Dan Tancock, Founder & CEO of Florida Beach Fitness, says:
“Fraser is such a character, we all love having him around.”
Stories like Fraser’s remind us that inclusive employment benefits everyone. When employers focus on people’s strengths and create opportunities for inclusion, workplaces become richer, more connected, and more welcoming communities.
