Pros

They preach that they are a "lulafam" and that they care so much about their employees. In reality, they are a startup that is failing. Their continuing education is a joke and they pay their instructors and full time employees basically nothing. The people at the top only care about themselves. The only pro is some cool fitness incentives every once in a while.

Cons

mentioned above. they are not a collaborative startup at all. they are trying so hard to enter into an already saturated industry. Good luck if you accept a job here - be prepared for little to no stability.

As our SVP of People thanks for sharing your views. The good news is they're no longer the case. We did but no longer use the term "lulafam" (many people told us they didn't like it, so we ditched it). Re: professional development, we highlight on our website that we offer an annual stipend for everyone to grow and develop their career with us. The people at the top support everyone throughout the organization and I'm sorry you didn't feel this way. If you are performing well in your job, you can expect stability and we have a diverse team. If you interview with us, we're happy to share more with you about all of this.

Pros

I first applied for a role at Playbook last year when it was known as Lulafit but wasn’t selected. A few months later, the team reached back out about a position they felt was a better fit for my skills and they were right. That follow-up alone showed how thoughtful and intentional they are about building their team. The interview process was thorough but very human. Everyone I spoke with was genuinely engaged and clearly aligned with Playbook’s mission. It was refreshing to see how involved the team is in choosing people who truly embody the culture and vision of the company. My advice for anyone applying: once you get to the interview stage, just be yourself. Your authenticity will shine through. Playbook isn’t a typical clock-in, clock-out job. It’s a community of passionate, creative individuals who care deeply about wellbeing and connection. Do your research, trust the process, and if their purpose resonates with you, go for it. It’ll be one of the best career decisions you make!

Cons

I have no cons at the moment. There’s a lot of creativity and collaboration, which is amazing, but it also means you have to be self-motivated and organized to keep up with the pace.

Pros

Lulafit has been a dream. Truly, working for a thoughtful, considerate, caring, female leader is such a breathe of fresh air. It is understood that we are all experts in our field and are treated as such. It is a dynamic and worthwhile environment to be in. I am excited to see my growth and trajectory!

Cons

It’s a job, there will always be things. But by and large I'm generally very happy with my 3 months with the company.
