Pros

The clients typically are amazing.

Cons

Low pay. Anyone above direct manager could care less if you die. Falsely described pay structure in order to con new employees to work for them. Pays staff to leave good reviews on Glassdoor! Also accused me of leaving a bad review. So I will now. Thanks!

Thank you for your review! We value and consider all feedback and we’ll continue to find ways to improve. Therefore, we encourage employees to leave honest reviews to share what it’s like to work for our company. However, we do not incentivize our employees to leave a review. We take our anonymous reviews seriously, and never want our employees to feel they were coerced or bribed to leave a review. In addition, compensation is so important to our company and is our biggest expense. The average hourly rate in our company is currently $19.17. Naturally, there are trainers who make less than this and trainers who make more. Those who make less than the average are typically in certification. However, unlike most other personal training companies, we pay you to go through certification. Many trainers that make the average rate of $19.17 or more take advantage of our endless opportunities for advancement and bonuses.

Pros

I work with a truly amazing team. I feel like the company values are in line with my own. I think the executive team is innovative; I also feel they truly listen to individual team members and take into account their experience when making decisions.

Cons

For my role, this is not a particularly high-paying job.

Pros

• The clients are genuinely a joy to work with and often the most rewarding part of the job. • The workout method is unique and structured, which some clients respond well to. Though, it is not the single best workout method for everyone as the company likes to claim it is. • You’ll learn fast—mostly because you’re expected to handle a lot right away.

Cons

• Heavy micromanagement, even for experienced trainers and supervisors. There’s very little trust in staff decision-making. • Pay is low and roles are part-time only, but you’re expected to give full-time availability and energy. • Constant turnover makes it hard to build a stable, consistent team environment. • Advancement opportunities are limited, and even leadership roles come with minimal added compensation or autonomy.
