Pros

• CEO • Straight forward tasks to run a team and gym • Get to meet members from all walks of life • Free gym membership

Cons

• Lack of leadership and responsibility • Too cliquey amongst other managers resulting in poor decisions and lack of trust • Rapid expansion results in forgetting about the teams/clubs you already have which means getting left to fend for themselves • Maintenance company is falling way behind. Can’t get out quick enough to fix a standard door lock or soap dispenser let alone the bigger jobs • Salary is way off compared to the volume of tasks required
