Pros

free membership, health benefits,pretty people

Cons

incompetent management, never pay out all your commission so when you figure out how much you make after putting in 65 plus hours per week it is a joke!

Pros

Working as a personal trainer paid through the facility rather than independently, Equinox is one of the higher paid. Great benefits package- Insurance Good place to start and learn a lot about the fitness industry.

Cons

Even though they pay the higher than most gyms on the sessions you do, they are still taking up to 70% of the cost of the session. The sessions for the members are expensive, so it is hard to get some people to committ long term-making your salary unpredictable. It is hard to want to pull your weight when you are not taken care of- no base salary. You are given new member leads occasionally and access to the gym- therefore the members- but it is up to you completely to make this work. Maximum you can make an hour (after bonuses) would avg. out to around $50- sounds great but that means you have found 15 people to work with you at least 2 times a week- and they are purchasing sessions for $100. 15 steady people wanting to work at different times of the day takes a long time to achieve.

Pros

Energizing environment, nice employees, SOP's are well thought, updated computers etc., motivating.

Cons

High attrition of employees. Corp. shows no support for any employee. Terminations are based on age, sex, & politics. An employees "statistics" are never recognized. If an employee exceeds goals & adds to the organization, it is rarely noticed. Several Illegal actions occur: Spa, Shop use members Credit Cards Illegally & the doers are never terminated, because the GM's authorize this procedure so the dept hits Goal. Mange,ent never recognizes a members complaint, or what the Member wants ex: instructors w/huge following who are terminated due to jealous GFM or GFRegionals, members quit &/or complain no one listens. Members are instructors & PT's. Not community friendly. Unhappy employees.
