Minpunten
Terrible business model for personal trainers. -100% commission. -They give you what would be a $30,000 salary until you get out of draw (which could be never). - I was told I would be given the majority of my clients and could earn $70,000-80,000 after 6-9 months. The reality was I was given a few clients, but was told to find all the others by "walking the floor!". This was a constant message from management. If you are a slick talker and enjoy hustling people to buy training you'll do great. I do not subscribe to the "used car salesmen" approach myself. - After 10 months I was earning what would have been a $35-40K salary. - The trainers that do well ($75k +) have been there for 2-3 years to build up their business. - If you work for this company have enough savings for one year to off set the cost of ramping up your business - A lot of back talking between employees and management - Poor employee break areas or none at all (depending on the club) - A lack of trust between management and employees - Many former athletes in management that have zero business experience, this is not a good combination for success - cutting costs and demanding high sales for all departments. They are prepping to sell the company. This is a house of cards.
