I've been with PureGym for many years now starting out as a PT. Since joining I've had 4 promotions showing me that the company is built on meritocracy. Join at any level, commit and work hard, and reap the rewards.

Pros

The team environment is great. Even though the gym industry can be very sales heavy you never feel under massive pressure to do any more than you can. This environment is great for people to perform and develop.

Cons

The hours can be anti social, however that is the nature of the job.

Really good company culture but a labour of love

Business Outlook

Pros

Independence and creativity is encouraged Able to socialise and have banter with members on gym floor, rarely a dull moment

Cons

- No training for classes that you have to teach, your boss just says 'figure it out' and in you go - Cleaning standards are absolutely unmanageable, asking us to clean every piece of equipment once every two days. That would be a tall order for a cleaner, and that's not even us, we're gym instructors with other things to do
