Terrible place to work

Sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

decent pay, flexible hours, good environment - overall I would say that this place actually had potential to be a fairly good place of employment

Cons

terrible upper level management, disgusting treatment of employees, lack of opportunity to advance. Seriously don't waste your time looking to work for them.

Schnabel led the parent company but not the company I worked for.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to learn job skills and get experience. They will give almost anyone a chance to prove themself. They will teach sales skills that can be applied to almost any product or service -- and many are easier to sell than a gym membership.

Cons

Lot's of hours, like a lot of sales jobs, and open every day of the year. People know they need to workout but they don't really want to. If they join the gym and don't use it you should be prepared to have them blame you.

Great job for a meat head

Front desk associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free gym membership, better facilities (pool), free spin class, free boxing class, free yoga, free pilates. People are for the most part friendly, and you get to watch good looking girls work out all day. But you also get access to the juice bar items like protein bars, protein shakes, gatorade or vitamin water.

Cons

When you work at a gym, sometimes you want to leave so soon you don't get your work out in. Big meat heads yelling constantly. It was kind of a bummer to drive from campus to downtown instead of just working out downtown, but the facilities made it worth it.
