Pros

Company seems to be run well at the top end Decent facilities Large overall member base

Cons

Very high rent Pays minimum wage which gets swallowed up by rent Very tight budget means no overtime available Tight budget gives the gym a very "cheap" feel for staff especially considering the high rent Company prefers to offer "perks" instead of paying a decent wage Not enough leads provided to PT's Management expects you to thank them for doing their job Income relies completely on PT's getting their own clients, basically a 100% commission job so when it's quiet or you are in a low income area there is a danger of not earning.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we do appreciate all feedback and are sorry to hear that you are not having a good experience with us. We can see that you may be working with us currently, so would suggest that you reach out to either your Regional Manager or your HR Business Partner who will do their best to support.
