Pros

The team that I worked on was great. Everyone was very friendly and enjoyed their job.

Cons

Upper management is horrible. Everyone wanted to micromanage everything that you did. They would try and enforce new rules but then would give up a week later.

Pros

Being in a gym, Comfortable work clothes.

Cons

Management doesn't know a thing about fitness or personal training. Most of the day is spent cold-calling people who have elected not to train, so most are unhappy to be getting a call trying to sell them personal training packages. If you dont have a training session, you can pick up floor hours, which can include cleaning, making minimum wage. The problem with floor hours is that you may have a couple per day at most, so if you don't have clients and you can't have floor hours, you're there for free. Also, the huge problem I had with it was cornering the paying members of the facility and practically guilting them into a free "assessment." It was honestly terrible.
