Educational opportunity for a trainer shot term, but very stressful and demanding
Pros
The company itself is very ahead of the game in terms of up to date research and education in exercise, nutrition, metabolism, etc. Lots of opportunities to broaden your education and multiple specialty positions within personal training - metabolic technician, assessment specialist, etc
Cons
High stress environment - since its in a luxury gym setting, members have a sense of entitlement. Within the company there is a lot of pressure to reach certain revenue goals every month. Lots of busy work business planning, procedures changing very frequently, and there is an expectation of a 50 hr work week, and working when you are not being paid for that hour. A lot of work for very little pay. You will think this job is the most amazing thing ever for the first 2 months or so since they brainwash you into thinking you've hit the jackpot, and then you will start to realize that you're overworked, tired, and burnt out.
