Pros

Nice facilities, family atmosphere, free membership. Coworkers all get along great and we treat each other like family. Nice facilities to workout in.

Cons

Treat employees as if they are expendable. The company recently raised trainer rates 5% and are using that 5% more or less as a surcharge. If trainers do not charge the additional 5% it will be deducted from the trainers pay. This company has become a terrible place to work since returning to private ownership under Leonard Green & Partners, TPG and LNK Partners.

Pros

Free Membership Cool employees Discounts on services

Cons

They don’t pay anything, and the CEO should honestly be ashamed. If employees were paid properly, there wouldn’t be so much drama and tension in the workplace. Communication is terrible because management doesn’t even seem to care — probably because they’re getting crumbs too. Spa management was dreadful, and the demotion was necessary. How do you fail to have people booked during major holidays when the money and clientele are clearly there? There was no structure, no leadership, and no motivation for employees to succeed. Having a successful spa for 3 years and coming into this environment I was not impressed. No growth, no support, no appreciation. Loved the members tho! And S/O to Leemar, Virgil and Dr. Hayden love them down!
