Pros

Nice amenities and equipment is in good condition Decent for a new trainer to get their feet wet

Cons

They take a huge cut of your earnings Don't expect help getting clients They really want you to "drink their kool-aid" TONS of time wasting meetings (which you aren't paid for) Had to spend an hour a week cleaning equipment (again, not paid for) Micro management Sales heavy You have to tuck your t-shirt into your gym shorts... it's a requirement. Lies (such as you'll lose your medical insurance if you don't work enough hours--that's illegal by the way) You're forced to work a "shift" schedule, which includes a weekend day. I could go on and on.. Go somewhere else if you're looking for a career, unless you love sales.

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.
