Pros
Great place to wok in LA its the next
Cons
lots of hours but fun while doing it
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Amazing work culture, fun/cool atmosphere, free membership, relatively stress-free.
Cons
This company is not flexible with PTO/travel. If you're full time you only get 10 days your first two years. Very in office ('in club') culture - you could do some elements of your job from home for sure, but they would never allow it. If you don't live near family, it's pretty restrictive as all your vacation days are spent over your thanksgiving and winter holiday.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
The company could have gotten rid of my whole team during the pandemic, but chose to keep us on and pivot us to a different department until our clubs were able to open. The insured is that we were taken care of throughout the pandemic.
Cons
Sometimes it’s hard to connect with management as they are in a different city.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Great Place To Work If You Are Passionate About Fitness & Good At Sales
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great education. Great place to start a career in fitness. Better earning potential than most fitness companies. Lots of room for career growth especially in the first 2-5 years.
Cons
Long hours, need to do a lot of volume of training sessions to get paid well as a trainer. Goals are very aggressive for management. High turnover as not everyone has what it takes to be successful here.

Pros
Loved working with the people at Equinox, everyone was likeminded, friendly and kind.
Cons
Poor upper-management structure in the Shop i.e. corporate was all over the place and made it difficult to be successful in-store.

Pros
free membership, network/build connections with members
Cons
pay isn't the best, hours aren't ideal
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Get to know cool people Connections to the wellness industry Connections to personal trainers and training Free gym membership *
Cons
Not much room for growth outside of your role Free gym membership but only during non peak hours (even if you're an employee on your off day going to a different gym)
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Promote within if you are hard working. I had a great GM that helped move me up but due to covid I was put on furlough then brought back in as an LMT again.
Cons
Sometimes it can be slow before covid we had to be visible and promote the spa. The company should put more effort into spa promotion because it felt like it was on us more which was hard at first until you got used to it.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The best reasons to work here include building connections with fellow employees, free gym membership and access to amenities, and fun/collaborative events for employee bonding.
Cons
I did not experience any downsides of working here.
