Pros

Puregym as a company are very strong but are let down from a employee point of view by some clicks within some of the regions. Covering up shocking behaviours, unqualified manager Personal training. Then forcing out hard workers.

Cons

AGM role is the same as the GM role but with half the bonuses (when targets are realistic) and a £10000 per year wage difference. The company rewards key board warriors that claim to do hard work and not the individuals that truly work hard. You need to be in a click to advance within puregym. Puregym is no longer about great quality staff (managers) that are qualified Personal trainers providing a great member experience.

Pros

The only “good” thing is the small percentage of new equipment and that some gyms are 24 hours.

Cons

Management is unfair, cutting hours and expecting a single worker to handle the entire gym. Incredible staff are undervalued, while third-party cleaners and side services pretend to solve problems they don’t. Members are chaotic, shifts are impossible, and yet leadership refuses to hire properly. Think smarter, not cheaper.
