Pros

The campers you aquire (yourself) are awesome. Depending on your location, your team can be awesome too.

Cons

They will tell you when you're recruited that the average trainer makes $70k in their first year. Fat lie. They'll tell you they will generate 80% of your leads, lie. You can be the best trainer in the world, but if you're not willing to spam facebook (aka ask every friend you know to join, post in any group you can get into, comment on every friends post to start conversations), go to local businesses to post fliers, go to every event in your area, partner with other health studios, do free pop-ups, free works, free months of training, free everything....then you'll probably fail. If you're doing this as a side hustle, you'll definitely fail, you have to be all in. Oh, and they drive heavy about recruiting other trainers to join, guess what, you get a % of what the trainer makes? Sound familiar? They'll do everything they can to say they are not MLM, that they have the best trainers in the country and the best product. But all they care about is numbers. I ended up taking about $20k in savings over the year just to survive. I worked my behind off and made $12k (pre-tax). They will gladly show you what the "top performing" trainers are making ($150k/year) to give all the underlings hope that they can do it too. After about 3 years of straight up hustle, you might make $3k/month (actually paid out every 5 weeks). If you really want to be a bootcamp instructor, start your own.

Pros

You connect with your local community and you don't have to stress about setting up a website, insurance, etc.

Cons

A lot. The whole set-up is deceptive. They try to pitch the job as if you'll have the freedom of independent contractor but in reality they treat you as an employee without the benefits and pay of one. They say certain things are mandatory and required (which would be fair to ask of an employee) but seem to forget you are a contractor just operating under their umbrella. If you professionally question some of their decisions and demands, you are seen as "not a team player" and they remind you that your contract can be terminated. They use subtle fear tactics and lack true integrity.
