Pros

The people who work there. Facilities are of a good standard generally but poor in my club. Courses available to staff Buddy membership

Cons

Poor pay in Fitness. PT starting off especially, too cut throat with their pay tier system. You cant earn money until you bring money in for the club. Starting off a member may pay £35 and you get under £8 a session. Disorganised company Mistakes in payroll common Company's priority is revenue
