Pros

To be a good advocate of exercise & proper nutrition, and educate people on these. It is better than most neighborhood gyms if you can negotiate the best membership price available at the time.

Cons

Was very very unprofessional most of the time. Supervisors/ managers were very inappropriate towards others. The ladder for promotions was very corrupt with not much growth potential unless there was some sort of political gain for (most of the) the supervisor. Management and corporate executives have no integrity here. This is not a career path, it is a place for entertaining high school lunch room drama. You could probably get the same experience by being a cafeteria lady and eavesdropping on the faculty's (managers) "inside" conversations or listen to the students (employees) inappropriate in the lunch line...or be a Life Time Fitness employee and eventually you will witness it all. It's sad and depressing for the Life Time Fitness employees that are hard-working and professional.

Cons

They don’t pay anything, and the CEO should honestly be ashamed. If employees were paid properly, there wouldn’t be so much drama and tension in the workplace. Communication is terrible because management doesn’t even seem to care — probably because they’re getting crumbs too. Spa management was dreadful, and the demotion was necessary. How do you fail to have people booked during major holidays when the money and clientele are clearly there? There was no structure, no leadership, and no motivation for employees to succeed. Having a successful spa for 3 years and coming into this environment I was not impressed. No growth, no support, no appreciation. Loved the members tho! And S/O to Leemar, Virgil and Dr. Hayden love them down!
