Access to many members that are potential clients. Equipment is good enough for training 'normal' people.

Cons

Rent is too expensive £550/month, no support for self-employed PTs though you still have to pay the licence fee (£240/yr) and wear the uniform just like their employed individuals who get paid £450 and pay the same £550 in rent.
