Pros

You won’t have a hard time finding the equipment you need to give your clients the best experience possible.

Cons

As described in the headline, this is a micromanaged facility with many cliques. As many have described, the pay is 100% commission. Even if you have a 16,000 hour month, you are still walking away with around four to $5000 a month. Then, they will expect you to be at the facility for your entire shift (6-3pm for example), while not paying you a dime for any time that you’re not with a client. Additionally, I was on a flex schedule after earning a $14,000 trailing average over a three month span. When my trailing average went below 14,000, they put me back on my regular schedule due to me, not hitting my quota. As soon as I left the meeting with my boss, I found out that one of my other colleagues had a flex schedule while making $10,000 a month less than me. The company does not care about its people. They care about the bottom line dollar and what you can do for the company. I now work as a fully remote employee, and have no ambition of ever coming back to even work out at lifetime athletic.

Pros

Free Membership Cool employees Discounts on services

Cons

They don’t pay anything, and the CEO should honestly be ashamed. If employees were paid properly, there wouldn’t be so much drama and tension in the workplace. Communication is terrible because management doesn’t even seem to care — probably because they’re getting crumbs too. Spa management was dreadful, and the demotion was necessary. How do you fail to have people booked during major holidays when the money and clientele are clearly there? There was no structure, no leadership, and no motivation for employees to succeed. Having a successful spa for 3 years and coming into this environment I was not impressed. No growth, no support, no appreciation. Loved the members tho! And S/O to Leemar, Virgil and Dr. Hayden love them down!
