Great for a free membership! Hard to advance at club level. Growing pains make job very cumbersome. - Anonymous employee Life Time Employee Review

Pros

Free membershp, can be awarded stock options and bonuses based on performance.

Cons

There is quite a disconnect between corporate the clubs. There is a lot of time consuming administrative work for club managers and many nagging e-mails from higher-ups at corporate. Manager training is non-existant except for the week they send you to corporate to learn about the "secret shopper" program called NPS. As a manager you will train your staff completely by yourself - there are no manuals or processes except for general on-line tutorials about the company and safety issues. I think that some of the club General Managers and area directors are not qualified for their jobs, they only keep thier positions because they are old friends with the company founder.

Pros

Members are great and free membership is a perk. Coworkers are supportive.

Cons

You will be micromanaged to death, whether you have three weeks of experience or 20 years. Policies are vague. Communication with leadership is poor. You can be a strong, experienced performer and have very few classes, or brand new and get 8 a week. There appears to be no logic or strategy to anything that happens.
