Pros

excellet facility, if you are member you are treated like gold. everything offered for the price truly is a mind blowing value....they did get this part right.

Cons

horrible treatment of employees/managers. benefits and pay are terrible...7 days off per year. no holiday pay, no sick pay. there isn't even a break area for the employees to take a few minute break....that should have been my first indication of what i was getting myself into. as a manager you are expected to work 50-70 hrs, 6 days per week and forget your summer if you plan on having one...it is the busiest time and everyone is required to work. they make EVERYTHING difficult...their purchasing systems are absolutely mind numbing...it take weeks to get anything and then weeks to get the vendor paid. forget trying to keep a budget there is NEVER enough money for the way the club should be taken care of. when you spend money to keep the club looking nice it just comes out of your bonus. promises from upper management are un-kept.

Pros

Life Time Fitness is the place to work for you if you'd like to get paid to occupy your spare time, nothing else is exciting. It is the Cadillac of health clubs and the style, price, and excessive fees show. If you work at a Life Time Fitness near your neighborhood and know numerous people from the area, the social interaction aspect of almost any job there is phenomenal. In the time I don't work I come in and work out.

Cons

The greatest downsides of working at Life Time is the pay. Any job or title below General Manager has a mediocre pay. Unfortunately, most "Team Members", which are your every day employees in each department have only received a raise because of the minimum wage rate going up. Life Time Fitness specializes in making all of their employees do a lot for little pay, which is one of the reasons why I decided quit. If you do not know the mission statement or finish your online classes before a certain time, you are removed from the time clock until you correct those errors. Their mandatory online education courses (LTU) for every job are an insult to the intelligence all employees, and the time required to complete most of them isn't suitable for one sitting, like they should be. Lastly, promotion of their "Team Members" is something unheard of at the club I worked at, and rising within your department for everyone is difficult due to their ludicrous requirements.
