Pros

Working with women who are committed to better health through exercise and clean eating. Helping others 'get there' through encouraging them through psychological healing from their sorrow (emotional eating issues).

Cons

There are currently no health or dental benefits available. Some long days (but 45 hours a week is expected) yet, it doesn't really pose a problem since if I need to take off, I certainly can. I work for a FRANCHISE and the owner is AMAZING and OPEN to suggestions and LISTENS to our input as Managers and Trainers.... He is also very fair with base and commissions for my part of the country and each month we can reach a bonus. Yep, I'm pretty thankful!

Pros

Get to meet many wonderful women and get to know them personally Connection to other fitness professionals Ability to make new friends through conferences and connections Opportunity to make a real difference in clients' lives Get to use counseling abilities, coaching, management skills Experience in managing a sales job Potential to earn bonus/commission each month Advertised as studio manager but it is a heavy sales job

Cons

Crazy number of hours per week. Most managers work 60 or more hours per week. False advertising about how you earn 20% more than other similar positions Every Saturday work expected until studio membership reaches 100 or 110 clients Owner can make or break the experience for the manager Corporate office provides one week training in person, most of it focused on how to conduct a sales conversation to break the woman down emotionally and get her to join Corporate office run by men (they play favorites and are not open to important input from women) No opportunity for advancement Lousy benefits One week vacation a year Most managers do not sell enough to earn a bonus Sales pressure can be immense and very stressful

Pros

There is immeasurable personal reward from helping women change their lives. The service provided is so much more than just losing weight and getting into better shape. You get to interact with many great people who work in this industry as trainers and managers. Also, most of the other franchisee owners are kind, caring people who work hard and love what they do. The members are great too!

Cons

Hard to make money (and thus a living) from owning a single unit, especially given the false projections provided by corporate. Corporate office plays favorites with some franchisees and attacks others. They say one thing and do the opposite. Too many negatives to list. They can't be trusted.
