Pros

Free membership, if you like being hit on by older men

Cons

Safety issues for children, all about money, dont care about employees-wont back you up if a customer has an issue, management has no clue what's going on, constant drama and backstabbing, front desk have to look a certain way (skinny), trainers are all sexually harassing each other and it makes it awkward and uncomfortable to the rest of the staff, the groups dont get along trainers/kids club/ggx/front desk.
