Pros

Pure Gym put people first, it really is a great place to work, feels like a second home. I have worked for other providers and the fitness industry can be ruthless and cutthroat, profit over people and Pure Gym is nothing like this. Yes we drive performance hard and are an incredibly successful organisation, but the Pure Gym values are brought to life every day by our people. I love my job and the people that make up this wonderful business.

Cons

I have gripes like all employees from time to time, but nothing worth mentioning.

Large company with chances to progress - Treats PT's pretty poorly

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of opportunities to progress into management as they're forever expanding. Large member base so relatively easy to pick up clients as a PT.

Cons

Most of them run understaffed as the monthly rent is very high in comparison to local average. They pay minimum wage for those hired by Puregym and bank holidays are not paid extra.

Pros

- flexible/ Hybrid working (that really is flexible) - easy location to travel too - Recognition and rewards for hard work and achievements. A laid-back dress code and fun office perks like free snacks and coffee. (and surprise goodies) - Opportunities for personal and professional growth are readily available. - Managers provide positive constructive feedback

Cons

- none that I have so far...
