To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay, we asked the incredible women across our organisation to share their thoughts on breaking barriers, empowering others, and accelerating action in their roles. Here’s what they had to say:

Kayla – Swimming Instructor

“Teaching people to swim isn’t just about technique—it’s about confidence, resilience, and knowing you can achieve anything you put your mind to. I love seeing that moment when someone realises their own strength.”

Lauren – Gym Instructor, Levenmouth Swimming Pool & Sports Centre

“As a female gym instructor, I love helping other woman become the best versions of themselves.”

Rachel – Gym Instructor, Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre

“Fitness isn’t just about lifting weights—it’s about lifting each other up. Every time I coach a member to push past their limits, I know I’m helping them discover their own strength and power.”

Angela – Gym Instructor, Carnegie Leisure Centre

“When women and girls feel supported, they’re more likely to find their place in sport and fitness, build confidence, and push their limits. Seeing that transformation is what makes this job so rewarding.”

Evelyn – Fitness Experience Lead, Head Office

“Strength is not just in the way we move and our muscles—it’s in our unity. When we workout and move together, we rise together. This International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the power of connection, support, and the unstoppable energy we create as a team.

Lesley – Duty Manager, Beacon Leisure Centre

“Every day, I see people of all ages come together to move, laugh, and grow. My job is more than maintaining the space—it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and inspired.”

Lee – Activities Manager, Head Office

“Keeping people safe in the water and creating fun, engaging activities for our community is incredibly rewarding. I love knowing that what we do here helps people feel confident, capable, and included.”

Karen – Human Resources Manager, Head Office

“Creating opportunities for women in sport, leisure, and leadership isn’t just important—it’s essential. I’m proud to be part of an organisation that values inclusion, development, and the power of women in the workplace.”

Lana – Head of People, Head Office

“Equality isn’t just about pay—it’s about ensuring women have the support, opportunities, and recognition to succeed. At Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, we champion fair pay, career development, and an inclusive culture so women can thrive at every level, from sport and leisure to leadership.”

Vicki – Head of Finance, Head Office

“Numbers tell a story, and for me, it’s about ensuring that we make the best investments in people, facilities, and programmes. Financial decisions shape opportunities, and I’m proud to be part of an organisation that values growth and impact.”

Alma – Sales & Customer Success Lead, Head Office

“Every day, I see the difference sport and fitness make in people’s lives. Whether it’s helping someone take their first step on their fitness journey or finding the perfect membership to meet their needs, it’s rewarding to know we’re making a positive impact.”

Sharron – Marketing, Communication & Sales Manager, Head Office

“Representation matters. Through marketing and communication, we get to showcase strong, diverse women in sport and leisure, inspiring the next generation to see that they belong here too.”
