Pros

One of the (if not THE) fastest growing fitness brands in the country with outstanding senior leadership that truly CARES about its employees, intentionally bringing premium quality health and fitness centers to diverse communities that typically do not have them. With growth has come a tremendous amount of opportunity to expand professionally and help create a top tier fitness brand. I have experienced this myself... a few times already, in fact. There are so many opportunities for growth for qualified, driven, and hard-working fitness professionals in just about every facet of the business. The company also rewards exemplary employees with equity ownership opportunities!

Cons

With growth and expansion comes a lot of change and transition. As an organization, the company is in the midst of re-defining who they are and who they want to be. In my opinion, it's the BEST time to consider coming on board. The company demonstrated that it is committed to doing what's in the best interest of the business AND of its employees. There is quite a bit of work being done behind the scenes to make significant advancements with systems, technology, and talent development. The company is evolving rapidly. That can be intimidating for some yet inspiring for others.

Pros

The company is always trying to improve both internal staffing conditions and stay competitive. They constantly try to do right by their employees and customers. My peers all have raw potential, and the company has great managers that are able to see that potential and develop staff further from club to corporate.

Cons

Sometimes there's a lot of moving parts due to new initiatives. However, that's expected at ever company Needs more consistency.

Pros

The only pro is that you get a free gym memberhsip

Cons

Upper management does not communicate properly or take ideas from the demographic they are wanting to cater to. Toxic work environment when it comes to hitting KPIs no proper training and development just told to hit the number or else. Even though you hit the goal to make money it’s never a great job it’s just a do better next time. No celebrations no acknowledgment for going above and beyond goal targets for the month. Force you to follow a process that most guest/members don’t enjoy and if you don’t you get in trouble. Health benefits are absolutely atrocious. They don’t even have this website updated correctly because Patrick has not been CEO for 2 years.
