It was a job! ...................

Cons

Extremely poor unqualified management, constantly short staffed, inconsistencies regarding centre prices on website and other policies which confused and angered customers, hardly any management back up when needed, biased staff members dating each other, poor training opportunities, mental health discrimination, smokers getting more breaks than none smokers and a young unqualified swimschool teacher used when short staffed! Could go on!!

Pros

You can get free access +1 to the gym, but I was so exhausted from working in that place that I used it only twice during the five months.

Cons

Super toxic place. Management is a complete disaster (Anthony and Lyndsey, hello) — people with zero empathy or basic human approach, either to staff or to gym members. I honestly wish no one had to go through the experience of working with them. Crazy hours on your feet with no proper breaks, and nobody cares. You get injured or feel unwell? Still nobody cares (thanks to the “wonderful” management). The gym itself is dirty, everything looks poor and outdated, yet management throws around the word “premium” everywhere. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig.
