They will tell you when you're recruited that the average trainer makes $70k in their first year. Fat lie. They'll tell you they will generate 80% of your leads, lie. You can be the best trainer in the world, but if you're not willing to spam facebook (aka ask every friend you know to join, post in any group you can get into, comment on every friends post to start conversations), go to local businesses to post fliers, go to every event in your area, partner with other health studios, do free pop-ups, free works, free months of training, free everything....then you'll probably fail. If you're doing this as a side hustle, you'll definitely fail, you have to be all in. Oh, and they drive heavy about recruiting other trainers to join, guess what, you get a % of what the trainer makes? Sound familiar? They'll do everything they can to say they are not MLM, that they have the best trainers in the country and the best product. But all they care about is numbers. I ended up taking about $20k in savings over the year just to survive. I worked my behind off and made $12k (pre-tax). They will gladly show you what the "top performing" trainers are making ($150k/year) to give all the underlings hope that they can do it too. After about 3 years of straight up hustle, you might make $3k/month (actually paid out every 5 weeks). If you really want to be a bootcamp instructor, start your own.

- Low pay, many lower ranking employees pick up side jobs, even some managers - Long hours, usually 50-60 hours with many employees working a solid 7 days a week - Almost a "cult" level of social pressure - Vast majority of resources are used to keep the field (contractors) happy and incentivized - HQ Promotions are arbitrary and can seem related more to popularity than need - Departments are siloed and have very different culture and opportunity
