Pros
Equinox is an amazing place to start...and grow...your career as a personal trainer. They offer unmatched educational opportunities, plus you learn a ton from your amazing coworkers. The environment teaches you to be top-notch not only as a fitness professional, but also as a customer service professional. Best experience I could have asked for when I started my fitness career. You come out of there worlds ahead of many of your peers and it is always impressive to potential employers and clients that you spent career-time at Equinox.
Cons
Long hours, especially in the beginning g when you are a Tier 1 trainer and have to work floor hours (paid) while building up your clientele, but the company provides every tool and resource to help you get there. Also, benefits are great, but dependent upon meeting your numbers so a couple of times I had my benefits held. Losing one client they trains frequently can knock you out of your target ranges so always need to be ahead and hustle hard. Not for the faint of heart, but definitely worth every minute of the experience. Be ready to WORK....but isn't that how it should be?
