Pros

Free gym membership, interesting people

Cons

can be a chaotic environment, predatory male members, extremely busy depending on the location. the management at my location was just unhelpful most of the times especially when i was the only person at the desk as 50+ members were entering. sales team was incredibly rude and entitled, would laugh at you when you're struggling.

Pros

Free membership! I was in the best shape of my life

Cons

Terrible hours and compensation Sales highly dependent on which location you’re set up at. Hostile competition between branches. Seemingly arbitrary and outdated quotas. Lots of great talent, but they rarely stay. Within the span of one year, I had 5 managers.

Pros

Free continuing education, great equipment, supportive management, opportunities for growth in the company, free Equinox membership, discounts at the shop

Cons

Tough to get started but worth it once you've built business, bonus structure sucks - if you go on a trip and don't teach your regular number of sessions then you won't earn as much for the sessions you do teach in a pay period. Management (outside of Pilates department) is a revolving door, Equinox takes a big cut, so you could make a lot more hourly working independently or in a group reformer studio
