Pros

Members are great, once you have been there for about a week or two you really start to connect with the members. Also being in a gym allows you to workout for free which is great.

Cons

The pay is horrible, if you want to live a comfortable life financially then this isn't the place for you. If you just want to work just to do it, or if you absolutely don't mind minimum wage for a ton of work then this is the place for you, don't expect a very personal relationship with the company, they are very shady in the way they work things. Planet Fitness wants a high turnover rate so that they don't have to increase wages. in a way this is brilliant but ethically its pretty screwed, people work way too hard to be treated the way that they do at Planet Fitness. It's a true disgrace.

Pros

Free beverages, new building, free gym membership, all you can eat popcorn, use of company laptop

Cons

Stressful work environment, high turn over of staff, inexperienced leadership. Planet Fitness has a 70% turnover rate of staff!!!! Planet Fitness terminates on average 100-150 employees every MONTH! The average employee only stays on board 7 months The average club manager only has about 3-6 months experience with Planet Fitness and is typically on board for less then one year. The average age for club management is under 25 years old, most managers have minimal work experience and a college education is NOT required. Management has coined the term "Hire Quick Fire Quicker"
