Sought to bring us into the "Tribe" to distract from low wages

Fitness coach

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are looking to start a career in the Fitness industry it's ok, they offer training and a relatively average structure that will help you get started.

Cons

You must jump through hoops in order to get onto some training courses, some of which can only be used at VA. The wages were so abysmal I am surprised anyone could survive on them living in London. Which is ridiculous considering the amount members pay for their memberships.

They have the potential to be great but are wasting it to save money

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent wage in management, paid leave and a relaxed environment

Cons

They expect more every year with less staff and resources. Progression seems to be on a who you know and not what you know basis
