Pros

Some trainers love what they do. Some sales reps are there to help, although very few. Some of the mid-level employees love what they do. The floors are clean and the equipment is clean.

Cons

Management in OC is currently just old people trying to live vicariously through their younger ditsy sales clique/instagram friends. This creates a huge gap for the role that is supposed to lead with direction, provide strong guidance and maintain the integrity of an overly priced 24hr fitness. Work here if you enjoy rules made up on the spot about irrelevant situations decided on by inept grown children acting as managers. Work here if you like your sales taken by the sales person that can cry and whine the most. Definitely work here if you enjoy rules of engagement catered by the cliquey manager to benefit their current pet sales rep of the week.

Cons

Sales quotas can be aggressive, and there is constant pressure to hit monthly targets regardless of market conditions. Success often depends heavily on club traffic, lead quality, and location, which can make performance feel inconsistent. Long hours and weekend availability are frequently expected, especially during promotional periods and month-end pushes. Compensation can fluctuate significantly if sales goals are missed. Management styles vary greatly by club; some locations offer strong support while others can be highly numbers-driven. Administrative tasks and CRM follow-up can become repetitive and take time away from building member relationships. High turnover among advisors can create additional workload for remaining team members. Advancement opportunities exist but can be competitive and sometimes unclear. The focus on sales metrics can occasionally overshadow the hospitality and member experience aspects of the role. Corporate initiatives and promotions can change frequently, requiring advisors to quickly adapt messaging and sales strategies
