Pros

The participants that come to classes are so appreciative that you lead them to become a healthier version of themselves. Les Mills Classes make up the majority of the schedule.

Cons

Lack of money invested in keeping quality mics and equipment. The hourly wage they pay is the lowest in the entire city. They have a high turnover rate of general staff due to wages. Management rarely listens to feedback.
