Equinox reviews

Uneven and unpredictable working hours. Schedules can be inconsistent, especially when you're building your book of business. This makes income stability challenging early on. Difficult to build a client base. It can be hard to consistently secure clients, particularly given the high cost of training. High client pricing vs. trainer pay split. Clients are charged around $140 per session, but trainers only receive approximately $40 of that. Additionally, clients already pay roughly $300 per month just for membership, which limits how often many of them can realistically train (often no more than 2–3 times per week). Affordability limits frequency. Because of the premium pricing structure, many members cannot commit to consistent, high-frequency training, which impacts a trainer’s ability to maintain steady income. Management instability. At one point, the manager who was largely responsible for keeping the club operating smoothly was let go, which negatively impacted morale and overall operations.

Management (micro-managing, unawareness, impersonal) Schedule is exhausting and not sustainable (hence lots of turnover) Low starting pay Glorified MLM
