Pros

Gain access to clients and learn what not to do for training clients.

Cons

Focuses only on "functional fitness" Micro-management is huge here. They love to make you work ridiculously long hours wearing the blue shirt. The location I worked at was nearly impossible to find clients that way. The managers played favorites and would send leads to their friends instead of evenly distributing them. Huge turn over rates among new hired trainers.

Pros

Free Equinox membership. Easily one of the biggest perks. You get access to a premium gym that normally costs hundreds of dollars per month. Health and fitness environment. You're surrounded by people interested in wellness, and many coworkers are into fitness. Customer service experience. Great resume builder if you're moving into hospitality, sales, banking, or corporate roles. Professional atmosphere. Equinox expects a polished appearance and high-quality service, which can help build professionalism. Networking opportunities. Members often include business owners, executives, and professionals in West Palm Beach. Relatively straightforward work. Most duties include greeting members, answering phones, checking members in, updating accounts, and keeping the lobby organized.

Cons

Pay is relatively low compared to the expectations and cost of living in South Florida. Many employees cite compensation as a downside. Can't call out sick.
