Business Outlook

Pros

You get access to the gym.

Cons

Expected to work and take classes without any pay. You are expected to clean equipment take safety checks whilst on shift, for which you do not get paid. The payment is that they don't charge you for access to clients and the ability to train clients in their gym. Which ensures that you make a loss for a long time as it can take time to build up a client base.
