Very high rent Pays minimum wage which gets swallowed up by rent Very tight budget means no overtime available Tight budget gives the gym a very "cheap" feel for staff especially considering the high rent Company prefers to offer "perks" instead of paying a decent wage Not enough leads provided to PT's Management expects you to thank them for doing their job Income relies completely on PT's getting their own clients, basically a 100% commission job so when it's quiet or you are in a low income area there is a danger of not earning.
