Pros

Fun industry, decent benefits, nice workout facility.

Cons

Morale is low. Systems are archaic. Strategy is nonexistent. Pay is below average. Offices are old and outdated. This place is a cesspool of bad executive leadership. New CEO announced last week has no experience leading a company during a transformation/spin off and lead the failed digital group. No diversity and very few female leaders. Basically an old boys club. And they don’t really seem to care about improving those metrics either. If you are a looking for a new employer, please avoid this place at all costs. I am looking for a new job and can’t wait to leave this place.

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.
