There is no place to pursue your dreams like Life Time Fitness!

General manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Life Time Fitness is the right fit for me because they truly let you determine your career path. Although my tenor with the company is three and a half short years I have been able to achieve the position of General Manager! Life Time Fitness provides great communication with guidelines and standard operating procedures that makes my daily, weekly, and monthly activites efficent and impactful. Every team member in the building has the opportunity to make there career dreams come true.

Cons

Work life balance is VERY hard to achieve, even when you are on PTOyou are never really off. Also,when you lose a manager there is no back up plan given or supported to get you through until you find anew manager.

Pros

Exciting Environment Growing and stable company with opportunities Campared to other companies in this industry, ranks top with education and variety of programs

Cons

Still run like a small company sometimes. Promotions and placement is not always based on performance. The last minute requests and meetings often cause an off balance in work-life balance.
