Pros

Flexible hours, decent clientele, incentivizes continuing education

Cons

The management is fraught with male chauvinism. I had a manager tell me that he could not give me clients my own age (20s women) because they would not want an butt like mine! Meanwhile, about 50% of my clients were...you guessed it: women close to my age! This manager repeatedly tried to steal my sales for example: he told me because I was in the middle of a session when a prospective client came in to purchase package to work with me that he would be splitting the commission with me and taking the client because he could not get the client to train at my price. This is the tip of the iceberg. This place will honestly probably go out of business and good riddance. I was never given the respect I deserved and all of my female coworkers endured sexual harassment and filed multiple complaints before one particularly sleezy trainer was finally let go (we are talking over 10 complaints over the years from men and women). I can blame no individual person but a culture of male dominated workplace that ubiquitously objectifies women's bodies and disrespect us as the equal coworkers we were. Not all of my male coworkers partook in this behavior but they all passively watched as this treatment went on and that says enough.

Pros

Most of the employees easy to work with. Dawn was also great to work for. Everyone's attitudes where absolutely great... minus 1

Cons

I was told I was going to be full time. I had quit my other job because I was asked to be more flexible. Yet the schedule was a set schedule 9 to 1 . 20 hours a week 9$ an hour after 6 months I asked when will I go full time. The response was the custodian positions are only part time. Yet it was listed as full. I was told to quit my job because I needed to be fully available.. ?dawn was not the hiring person who hired me. I came here today year of 2026 because I recently saw a job posting saying custodian positions full time.?... so in here warning because its exactly what I saw when I got hired... full time..... I made 180 a week. Befor taxes. There was one trainer who told me I needed to vacuum a dust bunny but there was a man working out there i asked him it's ok to vacuum he said let me do my set. She snapped her finger and said do it now 😳...the customer got up looked at me looked at her and said I honestly want to not be at this gym any more. Then looked at me and said I know your doing what your told .
