Pros

- Best pay rate in the city for personal trainers if you study and earn your credentials - Tons of education from quality managers, I feel like I can learn a lot from every superior - Fun place to work - Confidence in our brand and staff

Cons

- Pay structure is based on hours you work, which is really hard for some people who have a lot of education and want to make a lot of money part time. Some of the best trainers are battling the 25/hour a week requirement during holidays and summers. Other gyms don't have that requirement. - pay structure discourages trainers who are also group fitness instructors - many of the supplements are actually unhealthy and it is tough to support them
