Educogym asking for money to work there?

Sammyy24

Hi Everyone,

I hope it's OK to post this here.

Basically my brother had applied for a personal training job with Educogym at Salthill, Galway.

He went to the interview and was told if he wanted the job he would have to take out a €6000 loan and give it to the gym and after his training was completed it would be given back? Obviously he refused and left asap but I just wanted to see if anyone else has had that experience with that particular gym? It's not right and they should not be asking anyone for money like that.

Thanks for your help

That's quite clever. I'd imagine the work will be BRUTAL in time, stress and intensity, and it's a great way for them to guarantee someone stays the course.

I'd run a mile. Fast.

But regardless - clever.

"We used to have to get up at 10 o'clock at night, half an hour before we went to bed. Drink a cup of freezing cold poison. Work 28 hours a day at t'mill AND pay t'mill owner for permission to work and when we got home, our dad would murder us in cold blood and dance about on our graves singing Alleluia"

And you thought Monty Python were kidding!!!!!

That is obscene. Do they actually give it back?
