Pros

The culture there is full of fun and energetic people...not to mention the superior facilities. Personal Trainer commission rates are high. The management in the PT departments is really good at providing professional growth opportunities.

Cons

During the busy times of the year the trainers work as a team to help each others revenue out but during the slow seasons (summer through December) it cant get pretty cut throat. I even had my manager steal one of my clients. I also was charging as much as one of my managers (because my services were worth it and people were willing to pay that much) and my manager told me that I had to lower my price because it devalues his service. I thought "what about my service?" During the last 3 days of the month you are expected to work 6am to 11pm all days until you make more then $6000 in revenue (which isn't hard during the busy seasons, but can be challenging during the slow times) During those 3 days you expected to annoy the hell out of every member and sell services and items they don't need (not everyone needs a trainer!)

Pros

The company's employees and members are all down to earth for the most part. And they all are pretty much good understanding people who treat you as family as a business. The environment evolves from a gym to a second home.

Cons

The problems come in when your direct or even secondary managers are placed in management positions after coming from a totally different company that doesn't even have anything to do with a fitness company setting and they have horrible communication skills. Now that was just from my stand point. After putting in four years of hard work going above and beyond of what my job description was for four years, I was tossed out like a dog by my direct manager. And I'm not a guy who states that I work hard, I work hard because I didn't get to finish college and I know that without a degree it's going to be hard for me to get where I want in life. But when you constantly take shift for your managers and take on managerial responsibilities (ordering shipments of supplies, contacting vendors with problems, dealing with corporate district managers, etc..) and you get payed like you're a teenager at $8-$9 after being told you're going to be moved up into the company ASAP over and over, you develop a mutual hate for what you've been through.
