Pros

- Good place to meet clients and jumpstart your personal training career. - Flexible Work Schedule. - Members are great to work with. - Free gym membership.

Cons

- Terrible pay that seems to progressively be getting worse (Management once cut employee pay and showed up to work the next day in a brand new car). - Very overbearing management that patronizes employees while doing nothing to actually help you get better at your job. Will blame employees and fire them for their own failures. - Witnessed sexual harassment to members by management and upper management on multiple occasions. - Ruthless sales environment that relies on dehumanizing people, locking them into 1-2 year contracts and sending them to collections when they cannot afford to pay. - Extremely high turnover. - Weekly mandatory unpaid meetings where they will make you sit through motivational youtube videos rather than improving their own leadership skills.

Pros

Strong, values-driven culture focused on teamwork, member experience, and continuous improvement. Opportunities to grow and make an impact, especially for those who take initiative and enjoy a fast-paced environment. Engaged leadership team that is visible, supportive, and actively working to elevate systems, processes, and employee development.

Cons

Rapid growth can lead to growing pains, requiring adaptability and patience as systems and processes evolve. Workload can be demanding, especially during peak seasons or major company initiatives. Communication between departments can improve, particularly as the organization expands.

Pros

Free Membership at all locations. Had health insurance benefits. Great people to work with. Commission offered in addition to salary. Respects Mental Health of Employees.

Cons

Felt I wasn't paid enough for my time. The expectations were impossible. Also, didn't have much of a choice in my ideal work location. Plus, pay periods were not good. Pay days were twice a month, as opposed to twice a week. In addition, I was expected to do sales work and hit a quota at the same expectations as the sales team, while performing my front desk duties. It was too much work, for too little pay. I appreciate the opportunity to work there, but I felt like I was not set up for success. The location I also worked at, wasn't a good location for me either, because I didn't have the advantage of my familiar surroundings, which would have guaranteed my success.
