Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is good as long as you can perform above expectations which is difficult if you do not have fitness sales experience. A good relationship with coworkers and members and a free membership (if they actually give you the hour long break that you're promised in your interview!).

Cons

When anything goes wrong, the management and corporate do not ask questions and are quick to react. They will work you to death with disregard to any life that you have outside of them(despite being promised a "work/life balance"). When the company is done receiving everything you can give they are done with you and that's that without warning or questions.

Pros

The gym was spacious, had top of the line equipment including bumper plates for Oly lifts and a turf field which was great for conditioning. In fact, a few weeks before my departure the company invested in 5 brand new Olympic platforms, barbells and bumper plates. For a corporate gym, a trainer really could'nt ask for much more. The pay was decent but only if you hustled your butt off.

Cons

- Huge training staff (35 trainers) for an active member base of 5,000 members where 6% buy personal training. You do the math and tell me if your odds are good making a good living with this company. - Management did little to coach and develop new employees. Case in point: 4 out of the 5 trainers who were in my orientation class quit by their third month. (I was the sole survivor) - Management pushed you to sell supplements and other overpriced ancillary products and services - Useless unpaid weekly meetings on Wednesday afternoons - Orientation was one week of supplement and ancillary product and service coaching- valuable time that could have been spent trying to acquire new clients - You are forced to work shifts (usually during slow hours) for a menial wage to try to acquire new business until you hit a certain threshold, then your "Freedom" is granted. - You get to play janitor during these shifts and clean equipment - Hard work isn't rewarded; if anything you become resented by your peers and assistant department heads who are basically glorified trainers who could care less if you succeed or fail

Pros

Free membership and made good connections/relationships

Cons

Life Time is a great place to work if you have no life and don't need a job to take care of financial needs. You will be under compensated for the level of work you are required to do. If you have good work ethic and are intelligent, management/corporate will take advantage of you. Leaving Life Time was the best decision I could of made!
