Pros

I like the people, and my team & co-workers. I enjoy my clients and setting up their workouts. The work is rewarding. I like selling Personal Training, and our goal is to sell the specials offered to new clientele. Converting our complimentary sessions into packages or recurring residual income.

Cons

Our specials should include 1 hour sessions, offering specials on 1/2 hour sessions only limits company's profits. Invest more money on decorative & party balloons so that it is seen & is more fun for everyone. Creates a more positive environment.

Pros

- Free Gym membership for you and a friend. - Virgin Tribe discount - Work with a variety of people - Flexible hours - Laid back place to work

Cons

- Some really REALLY rude members (I'm quite lippy so this one thing that is unavoidable but very annoying) - Unsociable shifts - Lack of communication between other departments and FOH leads to a lot of confusion.
