Pros

Friendly staff and great environment. They also provide hands on training whenever you need help with something. They give hour long breaks which is nice.

Cons

This company has no desire to help out it's employees if it means spending money. They offer you a base hourly pay, with NO commission. Their "bonus incentive" is you as an employee having to finish top 1 or 2 spot in the entire region in a specific category, and the bonus is usually a small $100 or so. You can have a great month of really working hard, and your paychecks will look the same as a bad month. Also, getting raises, let alone promotions, is NOT anywhere as easy as they may say. I would recommend going with another gym if you want to go the members sales thing. This company has an absolutely terrible turnover rate for Fitness Consultants and even AGM'S simply because they ask an incredible amount of work and hours be put in, for insulting pay, but the company has no intent to change anything.

Pros

The company is always trying to improve both internal staffing conditions and stay competitive. They constantly try to do right by their employees and customers. My peers all have raw potential, and the company has great managers that are able to see that potential and develop staff further from club to corporate.

Cons

Sometimes there's a lot of moving parts due to new initiatives. However, that's expected at ever company Needs more consistency.

Pros

The only pro is that you get a free gym memberhsip

Cons

Upper management does not communicate properly or take ideas from the demographic they are wanting to cater to. Toxic work environment when it comes to hitting KPIs no proper training and development just told to hit the number or else. Even though you hit the goal to make money it’s never a great job it’s just a do better next time. No celebrations no acknowledgment for going above and beyond goal targets for the month. Force you to follow a process that most guest/members don’t enjoy and if you don’t you get in trouble. Health benefits are absolutely atrocious. They don’t even have this website updated correctly because Patrick has not been CEO for 2 years.
