People's Gym That Lets Down Everyone!!
Pros
10% Discount at Subway. Upgraded Coffee at Starbucks
Cons
Con’s Con 1, promised £15/£20 if you taught a class outside your 24 hours, then paid £5 and added on to overtime, as rules were altered to prevent PT's earning a payment to support the individual come in off shift to help the club and cover classes, since this has been changed i have seen countless classes being cancelled and instructors not willing to "go the extra mile" Con 2, New Goal Posts for PT's announced, an Increase from £1000 - £1500 by month 3, all PT team are realising that they are not seeing an increase in sales yet increase in target, GM & SM just keep spouting the HO waffle. Con 3, Reoccurring payments, clients paying and PT's not having the commission paid! or amount taken off target or added to the total. VG not being consistent so members not able to book their PT, all issues raised to HO and waffle responses, HO not taking the problems serious and PT's losing Commission!! They blame shopify? Con 4, Another Goal Post Increase!! £1500 - £2500 with a minimum sell of £1700 to earn commission with only top 4 pt’s hitting £2500 so setting 250 PT’s up to fail!! Con 5, Transformation Camps, 40 spaces on a camp that attracts 15/20 due to timings and clashes with existing popular classes. ridiculous incentives, day 8 of the month “lets draw the line on existing sales and start numbers back to 0, then give a crap prize to top seller unlucky to those selling well day 1-7. Con 6, Pt’s Being exploited as group class instructors and not Personal Trainers!! Membership Consultants Being exploited by putting ridiculous hours and having unachievable targets then being hampered with online offers twice in a month, Receptionists being given sales targets, selling Pride clothing, X4L Protein & Fitmas/Fitpacks on top of being the point of contact regards cancellations!!! SM’s being contacted on leave, time off or on the sick, Countless amounts of Whatsapp groups to predict their likely progress, being told to sell to their SM target then being paid twice as an MC!!! GM’s Being pressured into starting falsehoods to keep HO in the clear from litigation, blame or fault for corner cutting, financial irregularities, Harlands and their methods, complaints and cancellations. Within 6 months the Brand/Gym/Experience has deteriorated and members are bailing, wise staff are giving notice, those being left behind are facing daily backlash.
