Life Time reviews

Pay for trainers is all commission based. You can bust your butt and not really get paid, then have to pay off draw if you don't make a certain amount per hour based on what you sell. As a result trainers come off as car salesmen just trying to sell training and devices, lab tests, whatever, that clients may not necessarily need so they can make money. Doing right by the client isn't valued.

You are expected to teach classes for free, offer free nutrition coaching, and split any commissions you do earn with a clients personal trainer - even if they didn't refer them to you. Since the position is 100% commission there is no way to make money. Reality is that you are paid the same as a trainer but I've done nutrition coaching for 10+ years and, I'm sorry, people just DO NOT need or want to come see the dietitian for 12 visits like they do with the trainers. RDs can not make money at this job unless they're in corporate like Cindy, Anika, or Jessica.
