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.
