I am adding this, not as a review but in the hope somebody from Corporate will see this review and take immediate urgent action and do a welfare check on staff at Energie Fitness Tunstall.

For months we have witnessed complete incompetent management of staff… all of which are young adults who should be supported and guided - not bullied and intimidated by the area manager who I see has loads of negative reviews on here naming him.

The gym has a high turnover around of staff, which isn’t surprising given the way they are treated.

Over the past month due to a lack of staff we’ve seen the 3 members of staff, one of whom is an apprentice and 2 who are newly qualified all aged 20 and under working long hours with improper breaks and rest periods. The law states workers should have a minimum of 11 hours been shifts, yet here we have staff leaving between 8pm and 10pm and then opening at 5am the next morning with an allowed 15 minute break during their long shift. The staff are clearly tired and exhausted.

They do this, with some working 200 hours a month on a 15 hour contract and are then treated like garbage. One staff member opened the gym at 5:03am and was given a written warning, another opened at 5am and has a disciplinary meeting this week as the gym should be open at 5am and not be being opened, despite staff not being paid until 5am. You want the gym open for 5am then pay staff from 4:45am!!

One member had an hourly rate in their contract which wasn’t forfilled, when they challenged they were told their pay was changing to minimum wage and it was like it or lump it. To date the months of incorrect pay has not been paid.

There is no support, development opportunities and I worry for their welfare.

A young female recently started and Ravi is like a letch around her. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with the way he stares and looks at her if it was me. A man who has a criminal conviction for how they treated a vulnerable female. Where is Energie Fitness’s due diligence???

What these staff are going through is not safe and it’not legal… but who do these young staff speak to when there is no HR or anyone else but the person who is treating them they way they are??? This is not safe and I worry something is going to happen to these young staff in regard to their mental health and this cannot continue….

Simply Ravi is a bully and should not be managing any staff. Why the man remains in a position looking at the dozens of reviews on here from both Tunstall and Wolverhampton members who are witnessing and reporting his disgusting behaviour.

Myself and others have emailed corporate for help but nobody has had a reply and nothing seems to be happening about this situation. If anyone harms themselves as a result of how they are treated, is Energie Fitness happy to have their name associated and connected to this for failing to do anything about the situation despite the numerous reviews that members are leaving at TWO locations???
