Pros

Free membership to the gym. Access to the rapidly growing fitness industry. Interesting and dynamic colleagues.

Cons

Zero work life balance. 7 days a week, 10-12 hour days is normal. Equinox works its employees until they burn out and leave. My entire department turned over within the course of a year. Very little support/guidance/recognition from management. The culture is very aggressive and punishing, with employees and supervisors all pointing fingers and laying blame when things don't go as planned, and no recognition for hard work when things go well.

free gym membership your own office

Cons

Sales quotas can be aggressive, and there is constant pressure to hit monthly targets regardless of market conditions. Success often depends heavily on club traffic, lead quality, and location, which can make performance feel inconsistent. Long hours and weekend availability are frequently expected, especially during promotional periods and month-end pushes. Compensation can fluctuate significantly if sales goals are missed. Management styles vary greatly by club; some locations offer strong support while others can be highly numbers-driven. Administrative tasks and CRM follow-up can become repetitive and take time away from building member relationships. High turnover among advisors can create additional workload for remaining team members. Advancement opportunities exist but can be competitive and sometimes unclear. The focus on sales metrics can occasionally overshadow the hospitality and member experience aspects of the role. Corporate initiatives and promotions can change frequently, requiring advisors to quickly adapt messaging and sales strategies
