Pros

Very diverse and fun group of people. Most employees I meet have an awesome attitude and a determined mindset on where they are currently and what they'd like to accomplish in the future. The atmosphere of each club varies and is different based on when I go to each club, but team members are usually kind and mostly welcoming, even when they find out you're a team member and work for the company just as they do. The architecture of the clubs are wonderfully beautiful and calming. Lighting varies based on each club and the rooms you work out in and how the locker rooms are set up, but I've never been one to complain about it. There are an endless amount of people you can connect and meet in the Life Time member and team member community, I enjoy the club scene and the free weights area specifically since I meet most of my Life Time friends and connections when I'm working out. Overall, I love Life Time and everything they stand for and offer to their members and team members. It's a growing industry in itself apart from the Health, Wellness, Fitness Industry the world has already created and collaborated on. Life Time's team member benefits are only going to get better as the company grows and as the influx of revenue increases trhoughout time. I will say it would be nice to receive certain benefits as team members reach each milestone (5 years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, etc.) since commitment is what this company stands most firm on and how it's represented and stressed on to both its members and team members throughout the Life Time community. Attrition is also key to maintaining a great team member community for each Life Time club since members are always happy to see the team members they make relationships with and having them work with those members for as long as possible to keep customer satisfaction consistent and high. Life Time rocks!

Cons

Being apart of the Health, Wellness, Fitness Industry, it's tough to deal with people (specifically some, but not all personal trainers and yoga instructors at times) who come off as acting better than everyone else and usually shutting out certain people in their bubble of communication due to possibly being or feeling threatened by those who are just as good as being a trainer or yoga instructor as they are or even being really in shape (not tooting my own horn, but I take a lot of pride into making my physique look great since its been a passion of mine since middle school to stay in the best of shape). Other than some jealousy which floats around the club at times, people are very welcoming and usually very interested in meeting other team members, both part time and full time and growing together as a Life Time community.

Pros

Great culture geared towards health and fitness. You have to be willing to grind in order to be successful. With a minimal base salary the emphasis is placed on creating your own book of business to have an income that suits your level of expertise, drive and passion to excel.

Cons

The pack of work life balance makes this a profession that some places be with a family should think twice. You will work 6 days out of the week with long hours each day if you want to be successful but your pay will reflect your work ethic

Pros

Free membership. If you are an Assistant Manager or below you will have to pay for your family if you want to add them to your membership. Your children under 12 are free.

Cons

You will be told it is a mission led company. It is a lie. They focus you in on the mission to make you feel like you are doing work that has a "purpose" and that you are having an impact. This is to make your work feel fulfilling and thus get employees to stay longer with a company ranked worst on pay, benefits, life balance, training, turnover, happiness, and more. Pay is low across the board. Management has high turnover. Entry level positions have extremely high turnover. Life Time does not give raises. Period. Some managers have been there 10 years and never received a raise. Wants to be best place to work but refuses to give raises or pay employees much above minimum wage. Managers are expected to work 55-70 hours a week with no overtime pay. Only get 10 PTO days a year and does not increase with tenure. There is no holiday pay for anyone including hourly employees who work the actual holiday. Training dollars are only invested in Sales, Personal Training, and Member Services. Kids employees, even entry level, have to complete 14-18 hours of online training before they can even start in person training. Online Training is extremely ineffective. Training is paid at minimum wage as are meetings. It's become a cut throat environment with new owners. Dollar is all that matters.
