Pros

Good pay for training. The facility is the best around and the clients are amazing! Life time attracts an up scale but none arrogant client base. It's awesome!

Cons

No freedom of schedule, micromanage (even top producers), have to clean the equipment. Not family friendly. As a former top producer, it really sucks to have your quality of life constantly threatened because you didn't sell 2000 dollars in ancillaries. Especially for trainers that have great client retention. Those trainers are asked to constantly bombard their clients (who may have already bought everything under the sun) with products and services that might not be helpful for them at that point, and if they don't they lose their schedule. My club was very poorly managed on all levels and the company as a whole makes it difficult for some one who is supporting a family to work here.

Pros

Free Membership Cool employees Discounts on services

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!
