Pros

Great company to build your business, innovative products and services, excellent facility, upward advancement in personal training department, and opportunity to learn and utilize leadership skills. Awesome company to build skills in industry and eventually start your own small business if you have the start-up itch. 100% commission could be great or terrible depending on your fit in the industry and work ethic. This club is located in a very affluent area of Overland Park, KS - Johnson County, KS. Build relationships with enough members, and you'll meet lots of people with disposable income to invest in PT services.

Cons

Sometimes corporate initiatives are not aligned with customer/client goals. Managerial tasks are very administrative and time consuming at times running reports or looking over excel spreadsheets. To do well, you may need to work 60+ hours to generate revenue. Although it's a top notch health club, the department will periodically hire unmotivated trainers unwilling to learn or improve their skills giving personal trainers an unprofessional image.

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!
