Pros

Got to train and inspire clients.

Cons

Where do I even start. Gold's Gym is the greediest company out there. They pay all their employees like they are not a top gym company. It's just sad how the management chain works at Golds Gym as well. It feels like the company has no care for its employees and just throws in new people when a person leaves.

Pros

Fun environment Decent benefits Co-workers and members help make coming into work worth it

Cons

Very limited growth opportunities Overworked and underpaid If you’re at an older location or non-affluent area, no resources are allotted to upgrade the gym or help drive numbers and hold it against you if you don’t hit goals or appease constant member complaints.

Pros

fun work enviroment because its a gym. If you enjoy fitness, yea working at a gym will be a Pro.

Cons

The owners of these strand of gyms are abosolutely the scum of the earth. Mike, Kaveh, Matt, Qaden and everyone at the top only care about themselves and dont have the slightest care for anyone other than themselves. DREADFUL work hours. Over worked, underpaid. Work weekends and all day everyday except sundays. Expectations way to high with no real incentive to perform except threat of being fired. ZERO training when you first begin, literally. Just toss you right in and expect you to sell sell sell like its easy as that. There turnover rate is insane for a reason. They are horrid owners and treat there employess terrible.
