Pros

Helpful first 2 months of pay with benefits of free membership and paid per member you get

Cons

Very Rude management and high staff turnover. They train you to be more of a cold calling sales person than a PT. They cannot train people either, they’re just glorified physios who’s clients are still very unfit and will never reach their goals
