I worked at Life Time Fitness full-time for more than a year

Pros – Very laid back and fun atmosphere but serious about the healthy lifestyle. The free membership is awesome if you are going to use it.

Cons – I worked there for 2 summers and went through 5 supervisors. Seems like management had some problems finding suitable fits and unfortunately removed the 2 most competent.

I worked at Life Time Fitness part-time for more than a year

Pros – Flexible hours, decent pay for part time college kid. I enjoyed working with the people that worked with. I was lucky to have a good group of coworkers.

Cons – I was lucky to have an awesome manager, but after I left I heard the next manager was horrible.... depends who you get stuck with I guess.

I have been working at Life Time Fitness full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Free gym membership, great people to work with, the members.

Cons – The members, not everyone is so great to work with...and absolutely no work like balance. This company wants you to live a health lifestyle but affords little time for DH's to do so when required to work 55-60 hour weeks with 15 hour days on closeout. Incentive is your pay but there is little to no verbal appreciation when goals are met. Email is impossible to keep up with which creates an unfavorable member experience. There are NO holidays off and anniversaries just come and go like any other day.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop listening to share holders and start listening to what makes your business...your team members! How many times have you heard this and it falls on death ears? Get out of your bubble corporate and stop motivating by fear. Your mega turnover is NOT healthy churn and means there is something explicitly wrong with your business plans. Hard to "coach-up" when there is little incentive beyond a free gym membership. If you really want to learn it...then you need to walk the path. For those that have, then remember where you came from!
