Pros

Lively fun environment, the job isn't rocket science although they do keep making it harder. Easy to manage PT teams as they are self employed. UK's leading affordable gym chain so better to work for than most of the competitors.

Cons

Depending on your clubs location it can be difficult to recruit PT's which means you will end up doing the classes and shifts yourself, this will take you away from promoting your club and increasing sales so you won't get your bonus. You are given little help from your managers to aid recruitment.

Pros

The only “good” thing is the small percentage of new equipment and that some gyms are 24 hours.

Cons

Management is unfair, cutting hours and expecting a single worker to handle the entire gym. Incredible staff are undervalued, while third-party cleaners and side services pretend to solve problems they don’t. Members are chaotic, shifts are impossible, and yet leadership refuses to hire properly. Think smarter, not cheaper.
