I agree with the reviewer who called it "a cold, soul-less corporation"
Both the trainers' office and break room are cramped, poorly-maintained spaces
Demeaning advertising campaign that objectifies bodies, rather than celebrating and encouraging health from within, and fitness as a lifestyle
Too much emphasis on trainers "hitting their numbers" (ie, crank out as many training sessions as you can), and these performance numbers are emailed out to all the other trainers to foster competition (ugh!)
For many trainers, their own health and fitness falls by the wayside as they struggle to keep up their session load, attend meetings, etc.
Trainer burnout and mediocre earnings = high turnover
The majority don't make even close to $100,000. Half that number is closer to reality.
These clubs are built in expensive areas, and trainers need to live nearby if they want quality of life. It is challenging to pay local rents, let alone be able to afford to buy a house here.
Getting new clients will rely, in good part, on your hitting up the Membership Advisers on a regular basis.
More and more new trainers being added on a regular basis, so getting new clients and staying at full-time status becomes even more of a challenge for many
