Pros

The fitness industry is a great industry to work in and marketing fitness products is fun and exciting. There is a solid team of marketers and lots of opportunity to work on a variety of projects depending on the market you support.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement were limited and very political. If you could be a "patron" in senior management to back you, you were unstoppable. If not, your options were limited.

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.
