Pros

Easy enough to get days off Most of the other staff are nice As a student the job worked

Cons

No progression Limited social aspect to work Regularly called at 6:30am because the rota wasn't done properly and they needed someone to come in Lack of value toward they're employees Wages are minimum they can pay without having to actually admit you'll be on minimum wage After graduating the job wasn't what it was promised to be

Good Staff..RUBBISH COMPANY MANAGEMENT

Fitness coach

Business Outlook

Pros

The best things about working for this overated company is the staff and the fact that it's in a gym.

Cons

The pay is minimum wage. There is no prettying it up, its awful for the amount of work they expect you to do. You will be expected to teach classes (for free) clean sweaty machines and floors, write programmes for members amongst other things. Do not expect ANY support from management with issues at work... It's just awful. I had alot of issues with pay and travel, many promises were made and not kept. Terrible. Will be quitting ASAP and probably will just get a job as a dustman, as it would probably be the same with better pay.
