      Pros

      The Team at Puregym are an absolute class act. I started working at Puregym having had a real bad experience as a fully self employed PT, I was low on confidence and suffering from imposter syndrome BIG TIME! Since Joining Puregym in January of 2023, not only did I find my own way of PTing but also got my Mojo back! People are loving my classes, I'm loving teaching them and business is rolling in, and it's all thanks to the fantastic support of my Colleagues and managers at Puregym. Each and every one of them has been influencial and so helpful, in tacking me under their wings and supporting me through what was a really tough period for me. It's safe to say I've come through this tough period and am enjoying this new path i'm on now, loving the interactions with gym members, classes and over atmosphere of my gym, its a fantastic place to work! I can only recommend working at Puregym. Its been an incredible journey so far and I look forward to what the future brings

      Cons

      You have to clean 1 piece of equipment in the gym per shift, its not a big deal, there are so many PTs crying about this- grow up.

      You pay them to be an overworked, underpaid, cleaner

      Pros

      3x 4-hour shifts. Great way to improve your people skills. Great source of clients. Reasonable entry into a PT career. On-the-job fitness-related learning. One free gym membership for anyone you choose. Free Yanga water. Unlimited access to the gym whilst a member of staff. First month is rent-free.

      Cons

      You pay more rent than you earn in wages. You can be teaching up to 8-9 classes a week that are up to 45-60 minutes long, with up to 3 classes per shift back to back. The company focuses the management team more on hitting targets and numbers than staff on welfare. Not all managers are friendly to staff and their needs. Minimum wage for teaching classes, keeping members happy, and constant cleaning every shift. May develop injuries from being overworked. Constant cleaning of every piece of equipment, every shift. No real support to help develop your PT business. High staff turnover.

We shall ensure that your feedback is heard by the right people, in the aim of improving our support for team members. We aim to support rewarding careers for everyone however we acknowledge that cleaning is not always an aspect of the job role which is enjoyable, but must maintain the standards PureGym pride ourselves in, for our members. We do consider the rent charged for Personal Trainers carefully, but can appreciate this can be challenging, especially as you are establishing a PT business within the club. Thank you again for taking the time to feed back to us.

      Worst workplace I’ve experienced

      Pros

      The free gym membership for you and a friend.

      Cons

      Many of the management/team leaders don’t make you feel welcomed. Most of them wouldn’t greet you when you arrive, no hello, good morning or anything. As there’s no interaction with most of them you tend to feel isolated a lot of the time. Also, many team leaders are very rude and speak to you disrespectfully, but in return expect you to respect them. As well as, it seemed like the roles of many of the management and team leaders got to their heads, because many times they would try to treat and speak to you like you were lower than them.
