Good awards evening and parties, did have a good work environment until they took over LAF

Not enough staff, removal of bonus structure, unfairly treating staff, one rule for one one rule for another, same people doing the same job for different wages, make it increasingly difficult to take holidays

Pros

Plenty of members. Don't have to pay rent, you can do 15 hours on gym floor doing classes and speaking to members. Make your own prices and all the money you earn is yours. You can make a huge amount of money if you are good enough at what you do.

Cons

Takes a while to build up client base. So don't expect much money for at least the first 6 weeks. Good to start off with a secondary part time job to get yourself through the first few months.
