Pros

If you’re good at selling and you put in the work you have the potential to make a good amount of money there. You have to love training though.

Cons

Personal training isn’t for everyone and equinox definitely has an audience. The trainers deserve to get paid more.

Pros

In-house education, oftentimes managers are decent. High status clientele, nice gym to workout at.

Cons

It’s a Ponzi scheme. You are on your own after the first few months to grab clients off the floor, and they bring new trainers in as soon as your pay begins to increase which inevitably drops your pay back down. You are compensated based on how many sessions you do, and when you start to do more they bring in more trainers which creates more competition. They don’t care about employees at all, especially when a new club opens that isn’t yours. Very corporate; prepare to feel like a statistic. You will be left behind.

Pros

My compensation is a "pro" as it's easy to back in to Bonus KPI. This is also a "con", though, as highest bonusing GMs often are not actually good for company long term success.

Cons

Inconsistent practices. Favoritism (starting at the C-Suite Level). Redundancy in operational positions, rarely aligned with each other.
