Pros

Puregym are incredibly supportive of you building you own business as a self employed PT and let you have a lot of freedom in terms of planning extra classes and taking part in planning charity events.

Cons

You are only employed as a Gym Instructor, your PT business is separate. you only get 12 hours per week as a GI, which is to cover your rent however in some places it doesn't cover the full amount.

Pros

getting paid at the end of each month

Cons

lack of opportunities a lot of friends getting promotions people getting jobs not because of there skill set but the fact they are female. the cult like mentality opening more gyms is not what you need to do, you need to sort your culture out first work load is totally unmanageable and the expectation is get on with it and don't moan, don't challenge anyone either just do as your told.
