Working at LA Fitness in Tempe, AZ: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Tempe, AZ Area

"Sales, sales, sales. A shady place."

What do you like about working at LA Fitness?

"I like the chance to talk to attractive girls, the free gym membership, and the discount on supplements. That is about the only benefit."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't, unless you're super salesy, then go for it. If you're a real trainer who wants to help people, don't even bother."

What don't you like about working at LA Fitness?

"You'd be better off working at McDonald's unless you're super salesy. I made $300 my first month there, because if you make $5/hr while in training, then after that, it's all commission. There are no benefits, and you can make as little as $100 a month. They want salesmen. I was the only qualified trainer there with a degree. All others had sales backgrounds and a three-day apex certification, which two of those days focused on how to sell their supplements (which is just plain unethical, as the language you are supposed to use is very misleading). Your job is to hound members over and over again to buy training or supplements, whether they are interested or not. It was a shady place whose only concern is making $$$ for the company. There was even an expose on one of the news channels a few years ago about how easy it is to get a job there with no qualifications or background in exercise."
