      Pros

      Free gym membership I suppose

      Cons

      corporate gym chain that's only worried about their brand image breaches H&S in every aspect, quite happy to run their facilities with 1 x - member of staff on shift due to high turnover in staff toxic work environments, unprofessional senior members of the company and VERY gossipy. There is absolutely 0 regard for HR practices in this company and it's a free for all, everyone talks to each other You are not considered valuable and will replace you when they see fit and will falsify anything in order to make it happen Incredibly high turnover of staff across the company, I've never seen anything like it Do not know how to treat or value their staff

      Pros

      Nothing that springs to mind other than free membership.

      Cons

      Regularly threatened verbally and physically by nasty angry drunken or drug-fuelled customers. No safety training given. No protection at all for staff. Long unsociable hours with no overtime paid. Expected to be on call on days off. Impossible to take holidays as always staff leaving and it takes forever to fill vacancies. Mentally draining. HQ couldn’t care less. Pay is very mediocre. Escalations not dealt with. The gym industry is such a terrible industry but this organisation is morally appalling. It will make you ill. It’s just not safe in some of the rougher places in the UK. It’s modern day exploitation and rife for employment tribunals. It’s unforgiving and an unacceptable way to run a business in the UK in 2026.
