Business Outlook
Pros
Gain valuable experience in a variety of business tasks from management to sales. This would be a great management position for someone looking to make the transition from a personal trainer or sales consultant to a general manager position.
Cons
GM's day is usually broken up into two shifts. Example: 8am-12pm and then 3pm-8pm. This schedule makes it hard to have much of a life. Pay, hours, and culture are determined by the franchise owner. If they pay well and have a great attitude, then this could be a great position. However, if you are unlucky like myself and find yourself with a franchise owner that is clueless when it comes to the fitness industry and mismanages founds, then it can make for an unpleasant experience.
