Pros

Multiple locations for teaching classes, beautiful and seem less facilities, use of the facilities, freedom to teach yoga however you want to teach, grateful students.

Cons

The upper management is cliquey. The whole dynamic at Equinox felt like a high school hierarchy where you needed to be loved and accepted by the managers in order to really do well there. The problem is, they very often switch the managers at locations. So you may build up a relationship with one manager and then suddenly they switch it with someone else. It's pretty frustrating actually, since your career depends on getting classes and getting classes depends on your manager knowing and liking you.

Pros

free gym membership your own office

Cons

Sales quotas can be aggressive, and there is constant pressure to hit monthly targets regardless of market conditions. Success often depends heavily on club traffic, lead quality, and location, which can make performance feel inconsistent. Long hours and weekend availability are frequently expected, especially during promotional periods and month-end pushes. Compensation can fluctuate significantly if sales goals are missed. Management styles vary greatly by club; some locations offer strong support while others can be highly numbers-driven. Administrative tasks and CRM follow-up can become repetitive and take time away from building member relationships. High turnover among advisors can create additional workload for remaining team members. Advancement opportunities exist but can be competitive and sometimes unclear. The focus on sales metrics can occasionally overshadow the hospitality and member experience aspects of the role. Corporate initiatives and promotions can change frequently, requiring advisors to quickly adapt messaging and sales strategies
