Pros

Good for a new trainer with no experience. Guaranteed pay.

Cons

Take in clients with injuries. No freedom to program your client workouts. No growth potential unless you want to be a studio manager. Aggressive sales tactics that make clients emotional about their shortcomings and then try to sell them 6 or 12 month commitments. I've seen women crying during the sales process many times. Company pulls in 300+ per hour in a busy studio and pays the trainers less than 20 in many cases.

Pros

This is a company on the rise. After 10+ years operating as a Franchise and experiencing some of the trouble maturing companies will, it has "taken a knee" and regrouped to bring a sustainable quality fitness program that shows tremendous promise! They follow business principles that you rarely find in big box gyms or mom & pop studios . They have a philosophy of transparency and positivity. They provide tremendous support and a set of core values that translate from the corporate office to the client. Using the tools and principles in the execution of your job provides results and, if you apply them to your life, they provide a foundation for success in anything you do. In the fitness industry, you typically don't get base and growth pay like you do at GISFW. Anyone wanting to make a career of fitness will find tremendous opportunity here.

Cons

If you are entrepreneurial, this is the company for you! If you are not prepared for the pace and pressure of a growing company, you may find this challenging. You have to bring your "A" game. This is not a 9-5 collect-a-paycheck job. To succeed, you need a strong sense of commitment.
