As a professional that has been working side by side with owners, fitness professionals and more on a daily basis, it is difficult and sad to see a business that thrives on building progress and great effort for the sake of movement and better health lose so much in such a short time. The Flexologists that began with the studio have been fired off if they share their opinions or values in regard to the studio and its operations. All of this is done behind the back of the owner and the establishment itself has been available to the public since March/April. Prior to that, a majority of the work was done behind the scenes to create a great and non-toxic atmosphere for all staff. unfortunately, this former YouFit Margate GM (Chad Purcell) that was on the verge of being eliminated, chose to take on a different challenge that he chose not to train properly for. This not only puts the staff at a disadvantage, but also discredits the GM, who seems to not be a great candidate for handling challenging situations, but can micromanage from watching cameras with audio in the studios. This was a great place to work, before this person came in and ruined the member base, dropped numbers, and blamed those that came in and did HONEST work. I hope that the owner can salvage what is left before the other studios to open are are dealt with a devastating blow of an ignorant gentleman who refuses to learn how the franchise is supposed to actually operate.
The owners are passionate people looking for great additions, but as long as this person is still stationed there, it will be an issue for everyone (members, staff, et cetera.) I wish them well. read more
