Pros

Within your club you work with some great people, you form lasting friendships and look forward to coming to work with these people. You get to workout everyday, and are surrounded by a healthy enviroment.

Cons

Pay does not compensate for the work you do, and how much corporate will look to screw you over. They change quotas so you do not hit bonuses, they will do ANYTHING to make sure you dont get what you deserve or make a dime over the minimum. They make changes to your schedule with no notice, no advancment to prepare daycare if you have kids. its your job or your kids. you pick your kids, your getting fired, no matter how long your been dedicated or bent over backwards for this gym. #1 reason to not work here, Corporate could not care less about you.

Pros

+ This is a good way to break into the fitness industry if you are a beginner trainer. Why? Because WoW has an extremely high turnover rate. Its not exactly a secret. + Depending on where you work, you can meet alot of great people. Once again, great for beginner trainers to learn and grow. WoW offers a great workout environment and the clientele is usually pretty diverse and energetic. Their fitness classes are actually pretty good. + Not a bad place to work for as a low stress, part time job for people working as a desk clerk and customer service. + Company does have a sense of community and does offer some training for new trainers. + If you enjoy sales, you will enjoy WoW. Fitness coaches (sales reps) get their own offices, which is really nice.

Cons

- WoW uses and abuses their trainers. Make no mistake, WoW is high pressure sales. Trainers are essentially walking salesmen. Depending on what gym manager you get, you may be pushed to perform harder than others. This may be difficult and frustrating for trainers that just "want to train". - High pressure, high stress. Good luck advancing in the business. - These new promotions every couple of weeks or so lowers the rapport of employees, which really hurts the trainers. - Upper management can be especially overbearing.
