It could be a good place to work if they paid fairly.
Pros
It’s a good place to learn about diet and stay updated on some keys exercises techniques.
Cons
I’d like to bring to your attention a few concerns I have. During my first junior year, the gym set unrealistic expectations about clients’ results and held me responsible for their non-renewal of contracts (which are, frankly, way too expensive). The gym manager lacks the autonomy to address gym-related issues without consulting the regional manager, which seems like an unnecessary restriction. The mentorship program could be improved, particularly in terms of the quality of the learning materials provided and the mentor’s experience. Only one mentor has any real experience. While the gym promises competitive salaries, the actual compensation is significantly lower than the market rate and below the legally established minimum wage for the industry and professionals of this grade. Even though you’re officially paid for the hours of training you provide to your clients, you’re still obligated to follow up with them daily, which takes up a considerable amount of time and isn’t considered pay hours. In my experience, the gym doesn’t consider relevant experience or degree when hiring employees. It doesn’t offer fair salaries or a good promotion system. Instead, it seems like the business is focused on hiring junior, inexperienced staff who could be underpaid. Promised promotions are often delayed and come with low pay. High expectations from management and the company create an imbalance between wage stress and workload, resulting in severe overload and emotional distress.
