Pros

Well known brand, high energy environment

Cons

Salary via the tier system is unnecessarily harsh. It means that there is very high staff turnover. The low pay is the only reason I would consider a new role elsewhere.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your comments. Its always good for us to know what we can improve on. Its great to know that you are a long standing employee having been with us for 3 years! As you know we do not charge rent to our Personal Trainers so they have PAYE benefits which is something our competitors do not offer. The Tier system means that you are in charge of how many hours you work and therefore your wages will increase the more hours you choose to do. We pay in line with our competitors and on top of our benefits, we also run an annual fitness event for the Fitness professionals and industry experts to share their knowledge, this is for our staff to learn innovative ways of working. Thanks again for all of your hard work. Radha.
