Welsh Residents Can Get Paid £300 To Visit The Gym! New ‘Earn While You Burn’ Role Launched

Earn While You Burn: Get Paid £300 To Visit The Gym 

As A PureGym ‘Gym Tester’  

• PureGym has launched a new opportunity which will see two gym newbies receive £300 each in return for rating the experience of being at the gym in 2022 
• Tasks will include visiting the gym at least eight times and providing an honest rating of the gym across several areas including layout, equipment, and the PureGym app 
• In addition to the £300 payment, the ‘Gym Testers’ will be given a free six-month ‘Plus’ membership to carry out their tasks 

As a new year rolls around, many people will be keen to start new fitness goals for 2022. While for some, this will involve joining a gym, for others, gym anxiety stands in the way.  

This year, UK’s PureGym is searching for ‘Gym Testers’, where two lucky individuals will receive £300 each to workout in return for offering valuable insights on how to make the gym less intimidating for new members. While member feedback is already used by PureGym to make the gym experience better, this initiative will help to further shed light on the challenges new members face when joining a gym, so that these can be tackled by the gym chain.   

Previous research by PureGym found that 50% of non-gym members find the idea of visiting the gym scary, and 1 in 3 (39%) of gym users have cancelled their membership due to a lack of confidence using the facilities. To help combat this, they are searching for two current non-gym users who can provide real life feedback on how to improve the gym experience, so that more people can enjoy the benefits of being active.  

In return, each ‘Gym Tester’ will be rewarded with £300 and provided with a free six-month PureGym Plus membership to use the gym as they please, with visits able to be made around the tester’s main job, studies, school runs or even while they enjoy retirement.  

Stephen Rowe, Chief Marketing Officer at PureGym commented: “At PureGym we pride ourselves on being a gym where everyone can feel welcome and supported but we know that it can still be an intimidating experience for those who are new to a gym.  So we are constantly evolving our gym environment and member support to make the gym experience more enjoyable for everyone.  

Member feedback is crucial in shaping what we do, but we wanted to get more in-depth, qualitative data on just how new members find the PureGym experience. We are really excited to see what our Gym Testers have to say and use this to help make our gyms a more welcoming environment.”
