InsideSix Senses Spa at Sharq Village & Spa | December 2013 Inside Story of the Month:
Mr Suranga Bandara; Fitness Manager in Doha was recently shortlisted for the candidate of “Top Fitness Manager of the Year 2013” by the Middle East Hotel Awards hosted at the JW Marriott Marquis, Dubai. We sat down and asked Mr. Bandara about his experience with Six Senses Spa at Sharq Village & Spa. You were shortlisted with four other people from the Middle East. How does it feel knowing you are ranked top five in the MENA region? It was one of my remarkable moments in my career. To be ranked in the top five from hundreds of nominees, is a BIG win. In my career, I always do my very best for our regular guests and the company and I never expected to win any awards. When I read the feedback which has given by my regular personal training guests and my colleagues in the management team about me, I feel that this itself is the award; knowing how the guests value my service and how my colleagues recognize my work, I am truly blessed. What do you feel makes a Fitness Manager at Six Senses Spa? Over the last 15 years in the fitness industry, I trained thousands of people to achieve their fitness goals. Not only does fitness change people’s lifestyles but also educate the importance of exercise-diet & wellbeing. Being a Fitness Manager in a place is a tough commitment not only for the company but also for the clients. Six Senses Spa has allowed me to meet different people in my career giving me lots of experiences. I manage well educated, professional fitness instructors and personal trainers in the Spa. I feel managing department like fitness and helping clients are the one of the most enjoyable jobs in the world. You have been with the company for quite some time now. What makes your job enjoyable at Six Senses Spa? First, I love to work in an environmentally friendly company as Six Senses Spa. There is a saying: ‘People don’t leave their companies they leave their managers’. I don’t want to leave the people who I’m working with as well as the guests who have been taking my service for a few years. Helping people is my happiness. Not only in fitness, through Six Senses Spa charity project, we were able to build few water holes in African and Asian countries by collecting donations from Charity run/yoga and outdoor exercise programmes. Of course it is a pleasure to work with director like Ms Francisca who was behind all my success.
