Pros

Great facility! There are plenty of things to do with my clients. There are many opportunities for sales-minded personal trainers.

Cons

To get ahead as a trainer you must excel with revenue production. Actual training skills (and results for your clients) don't matter towards career advancement unless you can continue to close more sales. Trainers are expected to clean the exercise equipment daily without compensation and work fulltime shifts regardless of client load.

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.
