Pros

Good managers and team make a massive difference when it comes to starting out and learning how to be a PT (the course is step 1 but you're not going to be a good PT yet). The gyms are generally busy and have a lot of potential clients (pre-lockdown).

Cons

Employment model means you're losing out on £90 per month after your first couple of months on the job. You can claim back the difference at the end of the year in tax but you have to last that long first. Some have poor management and team and it's reflected in the high turnover of staff.

Pros

Good equipment in SOME of the gyms

Cons

If you’re into fitness be prepared at the interview that your job is a glorified cleaner NOT a Personal Trainer. I was a rent PT for four years and should have left years ago. Management have the intellect of newborn goats. They fail as PTs so apply for the comforting role of management for a secure salary and then try to give you advise on how to run a business.... You will have no thanks, be worked to the bone and have zero job security. You have no rights either. Avoid like the plague.
