![]() ![]() They just pretend they will do something for you but basically wait till you quit or until they can fire you. As for the managment, they don't care what staff has to say. Stay away from this company if you like money cause you won't make any. You need to sell minimum 2 memberships a day or you'll get paid minimum wage. They use the no contract or no cancel fee as a back door way of making it seem like you're getting some awesome deal but charge a initiation fee which equals out to a cancel fee at any other gym in the province. Talk to any of the sales or front desk staff and you'll hear how they lose employees like clock work. They want you to work long hours and weekends and don't care about anything except getting a sale. They pay minimum wage and claim to give bonus but it's nearly impossible to reach. Also they don’t give the option to work part time or get weekends off, if you aren’t a manager you have to be there on the weekends. You’re getting paid minimum wage to deal with Karen’s and people angry about their account balance, harass people about buying memberships in person and over the phone, they send us out “marketing” with no setup we just approach people who don’t want to be approached asking if they have a gym membership and they don’t reimburse you for your gas mileage like they’re supposed to when they send us out driving around on our own dime. You also get paid minimum wage and only managers make commission. you’re nothing but a number to them they don’t care about you they care about how many memberships you sell. they aren’t afraid to let you know about the turnover rate and that they can easily replace you. they have unrealistic sales and marketing expectations, and when you don’t meet their unrealistic standards they berate you and make examples out of people who are late for work by either firing you or threatening to fire you. you can only work full time they don’t give any flexibility. a lost cause.ĭo not plan on working here long term. Truly, a nightmare working for this company, and would never recommend it unless you are very fresh and need to gain some experience and even then try somewhere else! I hope this deters people from working here as a trainer- as sales sure. Sure, you make your own schedule but they will input people in your off times or you wait 4 hours between sessions. The pay rate and benefits? A full-on lie, you make trash money and never offered or heard of benefits. The manager at my location favoured male trainers over the female ones, if you reached out due to a problem you were having you got radio silence. Sure the pay seems better but they really do not sell many master trainer packages. If you want to stay there- truly do not get promoted to MT. I tried to reach out for more clients- none. As an employee, they could also care less about you. They do not care about clients, once the contract is signed they could care less. As a new PT, this was a good stepping stone but do NOT expect to make enough money to live off. Barely got new clients yet was expected to be there all day for 25-minute sessions. I worked here for nearly 3 years as a personal trainer. If you have nothing else going on in your life and all you'll do is work and sleep, do it for the experience. ![]() However selling LAF personal training wasn't a product i believed in. Leaving the company was something that was difficult for me considering i absolutely loved the people i worked it (liked them a little less at the time given the stress of the job) and they're some of my best friends to this day. ![]() Although your technical hours of something like 8-9 ( with a break in-between), its sort of frowned upon if you leave at 9 and don't stay later, or get there for 7:50 and not earlier. They expect you to put in the hours of an entrepreneur starting their own business. That said, its definitely not the job that promotes a healthy dosage of work life balance. Was promoted very fast in the company and thats something thats purely based on performance. No matter what kind of person you are, you will get run down very quick and the thought of leaving will happen sooner or later for everyone within their first couple months. Been some time since i left the company and although i learned a fair bit about human psychology, i think its definitely not for most people. ![]()
