Working at LA Fitness in Miami, FL: 3 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Miami, FL Area

"everyday will be a different challenge. However, benefits and pay aren't great for the amount of responsibilities on your plate. There's a lot sales professionals that don't practice the best ethics that'll end up becoming your problem to deal with. Can't speak for all, but my District Manager carried a careless attitude and only cared about his commissions."

"Horrible! 6 years here and only got a 50 cent raise. And trust me, I sent letters and spoke with my district manager professionally for a raise or promotion, and his response is you need a higher degree. Your seniority or performance is not a factor in this decision. They will give you hope only to hope you forget you asked. I was one of the top paid in commission employee in my district and nothing, even calling in sick is impossible. In order for you to get covered for sick days, you got to call your employees to see if they want to cover you on top of the hours they work for themselves. Good luck because nobody will want to help and cover you. And if that fails, Plan B, call other clubs to get your shift covered. You only have 300 other employees to ask, no big deal while you're sick as a dog in bed with a flu!! They will slave you to the bone. If you are late, fired. But if you're a closer like I was, prepare to get paid only until the gym closes, for example gym closes at 11 pm, at that moment LA Fitness has stopped paying you, and then you're working on your own time (unpaid) till 11:30 pm by kicking out all the members by yourself! Those members never leave on time! Bet on it. Because you need to be the last one to leave. Or you're fired. And you're lucky if you leave only 30 minutes after scheduled time because you have to re-rack the free weight hurricane disaster alone! Yes, alone! And send a picture to your boss every night. No health insurance for the job, so don't break your back or you're replaced. It gets better! Besides you sitting on just a hard stool your entire shift, or sometimes no stool and only stand for 6 hours straight checking people in, you got to make hundreds of EFT calls at the same time. This is like debt collection calls for people who missed a payment of one month or more. And you're the collector. Maybe out of 400 calls that day you will get 2 or 3 that end up paying. The rest will curse at you, call you names and hang up on you."

"I have worked for the company for several years and have never made less than $80,000 up to over $100,000. I will agree that it is becoming more difficult to earn the same income but for the most part, the company is growing and learning as they go and they have to change with the industry. I would recommend this company for people looking for employment due to the opportunity of advancement and the pay that comes with the new titles. From reading some of what people are saying maybe they weren't as "effective" as they should have been. Thank you for your time."
