Pros

The experience was excellent- was able to have a large client base. Being able to interact with clients on daily and weekly basis- watching them reach their fitness goals was by far the best thing about working at LA Fitness. I was able to develop great relationships with the clients.

Cons

The pay is by far the worst thing about LA Fitness. For all the schooling, getting the certification, cpr and first aid and learning about nutrition and constantly increasing knowledge about new products and techniques and accepting the risks involved, the pay is way too little. This place is banking off personal training appointments and gives little to no credit to the people that really sell the training and help the clients.

Pros

Free access to the gym?

Cons

Pressured/forced to come in early without pay. Overwhelming amount of responsibility. Told not to take 10 minute paid breaks. Threatened job security over small things. Continuously adding new responsibilities, tasks, requirements for minimum wage. Taking commission if a payment declines or cancelation within 2 months of earning commission, it is subtracted from your pay or future commission.
