Pros

401K, stock options, health benefits, clean, top notch equipment, large membership base, clinical metabolic assessments, decent ongoing education, monies given to obtain new certifications, discounts on certifications, decent place to get a start and if you are there for an extended period of time you get to know the members and you can become quite busy

Cons

After working at LTF for 5 years there were a few things that started to annoy me. 1 as a skilled and educated personal trainer we were required to clean equipment on a daily basis and reprimanded if it was not cleaned due to having a full schedule with clients and other responsibilities. 2 constant requirement to sell and sell some more and up-sell products that I was not comfortable with. if you are a great sales person you should do fine as a trainer however members have seen a high turnover of trainers and other staff and each new staff member that comes in approaches members who have been there for years trying to sell them again services they dont want and actually become quite frustrated when you approach them. the culture in the club among members is "they only want our money". always a big push at the end of the month to put in long hours or work extra to up-sell products and services.

Pros

- Free gym membership - Beautiful facilities - You form a good relationship with your coworkers (but only because everyone is there all the time and they all share the same hatred for their job)

Cons

- Pay is below average - You are expected to do any job that is given to you regardless of whether or not it is part of your job/something you know how to do (Ex: putting lifeguards in the child center/at the front desk) - Management is very corrupt - Questionable business practices - Good luck trying to use your free membership in peace...managers seem to see nothing wrong with coming up to you while you are working out or relaxing by the pool and asking you to start working on the spot (seriously.) This has happened to me plenty of times and a friend of mine got pulled aside by a manager once while he was there on his free time and was told to "get to work or be fired" - Very long hours with very little pay...managers will try to squeeze everything they can out of you - Some members can be extremely rude - If there is a problem with your paycheck, you are pretty much out of luck. - Managers are only about getting themselves ahead and most do not seem to care about anything but numbers - They are almost always short-staffed so you will be doing way more work than you can handle - You can tell that none of the employees want to be there - Managers play favorites and it is very obvious Honestly the only upside to working here is the free membership. Think long and hard before you accept a job here and prepare to be treated horribly by management and club members.
