Pros

I can't think of one positive word to describe working here- very cliquy- if you're in it's great, if you're out its terrible.

Cons

Low pay, long hours, upper management is NOT appreciative of hard work. Trainers run the clubs,not the managers...Managers can't discipline trainers because they are the revenue source

Pros

Friendly people, free gym membership to the best facility in the city, management listens and does their best within a corporate environment, co-workers are supportive and fun to be around. The GM and AGMs are fantastic. I see people who have complained about Equinox, and all I can say is that those who don't want to work, who want a free pass or to just do the minimum, don't make it here. I've seen promotions, raises and advancement for many team members who deserved it. While Equinox is corporate, you learn to navigate it, finding where they are strict (usually makes sense) and where they give you a lot of leeway. I've been able to do things I never thought possible in a corporate environment. If you perform, they let you off the reigns. If you don't, prepare for some management attention - which is not to berate you, but figure out what you may be doing wrong so you can do better. If you can't see that it is in your interest to learn from people who know more, you don't belong here. Check attitudes at the door, be a team player, and success is yours.

Cons

Can be overly corporate at times, but usually makes sense. Having to clock out for a lunch break before 5 hours of work is annoying, but it is California law. Certain processes could be explained better as opposed to having to figure it out through trial and error. But when asking for help, it is readily given.
