Pros

The people & support element is unrivalled. I thoroughly love my work life. The challenges and opportunities are there for you to progress.

Cons

Sometimes tasks are needed with a very short turn round time, nature of the beast though. A few too many changes happen at the same time, perhaps could be more spread out in future whenever next changes come. Appreciate that we're always looking to evolve to stay ahead of competition.

Progression deeper than any other fitness chain

Pros

The progression in this company are unrivalled. I joined as an assistant gym manager but discovered various roles in the company such as a Group Exercise Trainer which I do alongside my gym management now. There are so many routes you can go down in this company on the gym side and outside the gym.

Cons

The amount of gyms opening, it’s understanding to think that standards will drop as the company grows and you may feel like a number than an employee. This HASNT happened yet as we sit over 300 clubs but you can understand why I would think this.
