Pros

The on-site employee gyms are available for employees to use on their lunch break or before/after work. Summer hours (4 9 hour days, 4 hour Friday) is nice for flexibility. From what I've seen, most all departments are aging, lots of room for career advancement. New president seems very ambitious I believe he will steer the company in the right direction.

Cons

Office environment is stuck in the 1990s, very heads down, vending machines full of unhealthy food, dated office space in general, the atmosphere sways more towards a manufacturer rather than a health and fitness company. Office location is not near any mass transit facilities, owning a car is virtually a must. Company data is spread across multiple platforms, making simple tasks clunky and slow. Pay could be a little better, especially if they want to recruit younger talent living in the city.

Pros

I’ve really enjoyed my first 60 days at Life Fitness / Hammer Strength. The people are genuinely collaborative, supportive, and passionate about what they do. There’s a strong sense of pride in the products and the brand, and it shows in how teams work together internally and with customers. Seeing firsthand how the equipment is designed, engineered, and tested has been impressive and reinforces the quality and long-term value behind the brand. I’ve also appreciated the opportunity to connect directly with key accounts and valued partners early on, which has helped me quickly understand customer needs and how the organization supports their success.

Cons

Like any large, global organization, there’s a lot to learn and many stakeholders to navigate early on. The pace can feel fast at times, especially while onboarding into multiple systems and processes, but that’s expected and comes with the territory.

Pros

Familiar products. It's hybrid. Some decent people.

Cons

Toxic. Flat organization. Sales is a joke run by clowns....still use excel while there's no mandate to use SFDC. Marketing is a 3-headed snake. Phony, liars and so far behind. Tech stack is 2015 at best. Zero growth, career opportunities.
