Pros

- Studio trainers are kind, fun to work with and always willing to help - Most clients appreciate your insight and are genuinely thankful for you - Challenging workout that improves and elongates lives - Facility Managers are very team-focused and have your back - Branded Nike shirts for daily uniform (varying shades of blue) - Recent investment in branding has FINALLY given us the digital face lift we desperately needed - Certification is a mix of in-studio shadowing, written tests and practicals - You don't have to do any cold calls, Facebook marketing generates leads and you focus on referrals from your clients - Remote team of Client Experience Coordinators handle a great deal of Introductory Session communication on our behalf

Cons

- Difficult to support yourself on this pay without a partner or a second job - No PTO - No matching 401k - Hard to take time off/get shifts covered - Very high turnover - Studios are pretty shoddy and reside in run-down buildings - Repetitive meetings each week and month - Decisions made at the top (by people who haven't trained in years) disrupt your ability to work effectively and your happiness with this career - Nutrition arm of the company is a complete mess with a lack of accountability at the top - Not enough emphasis on growth and being career-minded through the Professional Mastery Program - Internal systems crash during peak hours rendering them useless and forcing studios to wing it with client settings - Reporting practices/rules are so rigid that you will be penalized for losses that aren't yours at all - Business model has just changed from 2 clients an hour to 3 so it will be very assembly line in nature and rushed, resulting in less of a relationship with the client
