Equinox reviews

- All major holidays and most weekends you will work. They require the last 3 days of every month for you to work 12 hours a day as a GM and sales - Leadership team - Essentially non-existent to help you with difficult conversations, they will only stop by and do an audit of your club. Literally wiping fingers for dust, etc. - No job security - I was top GM in the company at the time I was laid off during the pandemic. I was dismissed so that the regional director at the time would have a spot to drop down to as his position is not necessary. - Members are the actual worst and will come after you with everything. I've known GMs to be spit on, cussed at, and received multiple threats. Not at all uncommon.

There's a lot of sales involved. You can't be too shy to ask for business. The membership advisors and managers definitely play favorites. Some of the trainers get clients handed to them, one after the other, while others don't get any at all. Some trainers simply get handed lists of dead end leads. The current rule is that you are only able to workout at the location you work at unless it's the weekend. I find myself not wanting to workout, because I'm there so much and my workout is my "me time." I don't want to be at work for my "me time!" Some of the members can be extremely rude. These people have money and some are incredibly nice, but the others are incredibly AWFUL! Sometimes I feel like I'm in a real life SNL skit! FLOOR SHIFTS!!! Personal trainers are required to work full time and until you are training at a minimum of 96 sessions per month, you are required to work 5 floor shifts per week in which you have to "tidy up" the gym, so, basically clean up after the slobbish members for three hours at a time. They leave their weights and equipment all over and towels and bottles everywhere...it's ridiculous. Management claims these shifts are a way for us to get business, but rarely do people get clients on floor shifts.
