Pros

Okay here's the deal with Equinox - you CAN make a lot of money, but you're basically not going to have a life and you're going to be there 24/7. In terms of pros, all the gyms are amazing, and the free gym membership is awesome - if you have time to use it. I do love all my staff and I actually really like my mangers, but again this depends varies from gym to gym. I guess another pro is that you can make great connections - if you can even use them.

Cons

I'm not kidding when I say it reminds me a lot of a cult. You get ridiculed when you're not there, and they get insulted if you just need some personal time. As the other posts have said, you basically have no life. I will say this: I guess if you're a bodybuilder or fitness model this may be a pro, as you're at the gym all hours of the day, but for the other 99% of people you'll forget what it's like to be outside.

Pros

Get to Work out for free, if it's not close out

Cons

Terrible Hours, Working on Holidays, Working during snow storms, working for hourly associates who do not show up for work, With such a low salary you would think that there would be less hours worked but you would be wrong. Management is poor, or non-existent, when they fire managers they do not tell anyone the reason, so rumors spread constantly The members are terrible, remember it's a GYM!!!

Pros

Well marketed product, clean facilities, depending on location, good people to work with

Cons

The marketing exceeds the experience, BAD Upper Management...sooner or later everyone gets thrown under the bus...Close Outs at end of the month are ridiculous
