“A great environment to work in as long as management is good at your location.” /Reviews/Employee-Review-24-Hour-Fitness-RVW2662605.htm
Former Kids Club/Service Representative in Sunnyvale, CA (US) – New
Pros – Loved working with my coworkers; it really felt like a family.
Great opportunity for growth, you can move up in the company if you want to and are dedicated.
Cons – The company is so structured that managers have little wiggle room.
Many people in management positions have chips on their shoulders and do not respect their employees.
Advice to Senior Management – Make sure that all of your employees know how valuable they are to you.

“Personal Trainer PT 1” /Reviews/Employee-Review-24-Hour-Fitness-RVW2642566.htm
Former Personal Trainer I in Seattle, WA (US) – New
Pros – Excellent training and preparation
Inviting and positive work culture
Flexible work hours
Good pay
Cons – Hated the "salesman" approach to recruiting new clients
Very bottom line driven - all that matters is training frequency and selling large training packages
Management and employee base operated under different rules
Advice to Senior Management – Make sure procedures and protocols are known throughout work force and everybody is abiding by same framework. Veteran trainers seemed to get preferential treatment and were allowed to get away with things that I, as a new trainer, was reprimanded for.

“Average Mid-Market Gym” /Reviews/Employee-Review-24-Hour-Fitness-RVW2629627.htm
Former Employee
Pros – Professional, great training opportunities, good regional management
Cons – Instructors are too often forced into "bought" formats such as Zumba, RPM etc. It takes the freedom away from instructors to motivate and construct class in their own unique way.

“Overall good company to work for if you enjoy fitness” /Reviews/Employee-Review-24-Hour-Fitness-RVW2612628.htm
Former Membership Counselor in Solana Beach, CA (US)
Pros – The best part about the club was the great colleagues and employees with lots of energy. In addition, the management is very helpful and approachable. If you enjoy meeting new people (usually who are energized and into meeting fitness goals), then it's a great place to work
Cons – Lots of cold calling, minimum wage, and commission is hard to achieve in smaller clubs

“24 hour fitness” /Reviews/Employee-Review-24-Hour-Fitness-RVW2610252.htm
Current Personal Trainer II in Mesa, AZ (US)

“Full of head aches” /Reviews/Employee-Review-24-Hour-Fitness-RVW2566225.htm
Former Facilities Technician in Broomfield, CO (US)
Pros – The people you work with are generally nice and easy going. Work is easy and nothing to technical.
Cons – Some employees are a pain, clients can be a major pain as well. When ordering needed parts to repair equipment and building, be prepared for orders to be deferred and/or denied by corporate quite often making the job difficult and stressful trying to explain to immediate manager and constant questioning by clients.
Advice to Senior Management – Micromanagement and putting fear into your employees is not a way to build a company and it's morale to make a "better' company.

“No room for Advancement, higher positions are easily dispensable” /Reviews/Employee-Review-24-Hour-Fitness-RVW2669739.htm
Current Sales Representative in Salt Lake City, UT (US) – New
Pros – Flexible hours, let me balance school with the job
Cons – Upper management positions are replaced almost monthly if a club is below average.
Advice to Senior Management – give your sales reps some bonus, credit, anything to show that they bring in the money to your clubs. They dont try if you give them nothing for an hourly job.
