      Pros

      When I first read the reviews here I thought people exaggerated, but no, this is a really bad company to work for. No work/life balance AT ALL!

      Cons

      You are expected to be connected 24/7, always answering emails (meaning even when you are not on the clock), hanging out at the club all day to make "connections" (again, off the clock) and comply with a "training protocol" created only to sell training packages at an outrageous rate to which you only receive a very small amount. It's a sales job not a Personal Trainer job. If that wasn't enough, the word "team" is used a lot by the company despite the fact that there isn't really a "team". They see it as every personal trainer runs their own business which generates a ridiculous competition between trainers creating an awful work environment, specially for new trainers - that's one of the reasons for the high turnover rate.

      Pros

      None. Did not like a single thing about working there. It was not pleasant. I'm not bitter or anything, it just was not a good experience. Would not go back.

      Cons

      Micro Management is unbearable at this place. They are on you non stop so they can make their money, not caring at all about the clients' needs.

      Pros

      Okay here's the deal with Equinox - you CAN make a lot of money, but you're basically not going to have a life and you're going to be there 24/7. In terms of pros, all the gyms are amazing, and the free gym membership is awesome - if you have time to use it. I do love all my staff and I actually really like my mangers, but again this depends varies from gym to gym. I guess another pro is that you can make great connections - if you can even use them.

      Cons

      I'm not kidding when I say it reminds me a lot of a cult. You get ridiculed when you're not there, and they get insulted if you just need some personal time. As the other posts have said, you basically have no life. I will say this: I guess if you're a bodybuilder or fitness model this may be a pro, as you're at the gym all hours of the day, but for the other 99% of people you'll forget what it's like to be outside.
