Pros
Being in a gym and that's it!!
Cons
As the personal training director I was told I'd be on a $1500 base plus 5% commission, what they didn't tell me was the base was actually $7.36 an hour and to get the $1500 you had to work till 9pm every night and till 4 on Sat. 6 days a week. Split shift 9-1 and 4-9pm Bonus system is a joke and it's very hard to bonus, my 1st month as the PTD I sold $45k in training and finish 1st in the Midwest out of 68 gyms but didn't bonus because the old APT rolled the club backwards by $500 the previous month, this cost me $3000-$4000. All cancels go against your bonus even if they did the full 6 or 12 month contract. If a person cancels within 3 months they take your commissions out of your next pay. One lady did a buy out to terminate her contract, it cost her $1800 so the company made $1800 for doing nothing and in turn took $90 out of my pay check. As a director you're treated as though they are paying you a lot of money and expect way to much for the $7.36 an hour that they actually pay. I felt like I had no life working at LA Fitness and it financially put me in a hole, the VP's will constantly blame you for every issue and give little recognition of any achievements! I would say do yourself a favor and never work for LA fitness as they are ranked in the top 5 worst company's in the USA to work for.
