Pros

Firstly, the workout really delivers what we promise to clients. We improve thier health and fitness, and they love us for it. That feels wonderful and makes going to work always exciting and fun. You also get to do the workout for free, which is like adding a hefty amount of bonus incentive to each paycheck. Secondly, Management really does listen to the trainers. I was a trainer for a year and a half, and then I have been in an HQ capacity for over six months. Sometimes the change is slow because the leaders want to make the best choices and don't want to make a quick change that may not work well longterm, but I know because I have been in the room, they hear your complaints and they work to fix problems. That is wonderful and rare in the service industry. The last plus is also rare for the service industry. The Professional Mastery Program is an amazing, unlimited opportunity for you to learn and grow as a person. We have learning units written for us by a famous leader in business development, and taking those courses can change your life and the direction of your future. In summary, you benefit by helping wonderful people every day in your job, you can be instrumental in changing anything that you would like to see improved about the company, and you can feed your brain on company time and use that experience for merit raises. You will not find a better personal training positive anywhere. I know, because the company did research.

Cons

I started working here with a new shift, which means I had no clients. It was difficult. The pay was quite low, and I was depressed. But then I got hungry, and hungry people work harder. I worked harder, and a year later I had as many workouts on my schedule as the trainer who had been at that studio the longest. I had a company-wide reputation and was offered to work outside the studio where I can do more things every day to help all the studios and trainers reach their potential. So, actually my con was a pro. Sorry!

Pros

I work with a truly amazing team. I feel like the company values are in line with my own. I think the executive team is innovative; I also feel they truly listen to individual team members and take into account their experience when making decisions.

Cons

For my role, this is not a particularly high-paying job.

Pros

• The clients are genuinely a joy to work with and often the most rewarding part of the job. • The workout method is unique and structured, which some clients respond well to. Though, it is not the single best workout method for everyone as the company likes to claim it is. • You’ll learn fast—mostly because you’re expected to handle a lot right away.

Cons

• Heavy micromanagement, even for experienced trainers and supervisors. There’s very little trust in staff decision-making. • Pay is low and roles are part-time only, but you’re expected to give full-time availability and energy. • Constant turnover makes it hard to build a stable, consistent team environment. • Advancement opportunities are limited, and even leadership roles come with minimal added compensation or autonomy.
