      I have been working at LA Fitness full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      No cap to income
      Quick Upward Mobility based on performance
      Get to help people daily
      Growing company
      Not sitting in a cubicle
      Get to impact a community
      Free gym membership
      Health and Dental Benefits
      Full time positions
      No cold calling
      No going door to door

      Most people do not realize that working in a gym can lead to making 6 figures within 5 years from start date of entry level. The company promotes from within so those that have achieved 6 figures per year in most cases started as entry level with the company. You get to learn from those that have worked their way up through performance.

      Cons

      Not a 9 to 5 job. However, when you love what you do working 48 hours at something you love beats working 40 hours at a job you are not passionate about
