Pros

Good work experience to move to bigger gyms. It is a good place to start a training career, but I dont see long term growth with the company. There are better comensation plans at other gyms.

Cons

Compensation for personal trainers is set up to only benefit the gym. You are expected to hit monthly sales goals which is completely understandable, but there is no benefit to try and exceed those goals. The compensation is a flat percentage rate no matter what.

Pros

Nothing. Do not even think its going to be good.

Cons

Everything. Company is using software from two decades ago. Their daily company meetings are pointless. The company is ran by juice heads who are only promoted because they been with the company for awhile, not because they excel and know how to train and develop people. They run through people like no tomorrow because the pay is under industry standard.
