LA Fitness Employee Reviews for Fitness Counselor

"I love working here!"

What do you like about working at LA Fitness?

"I like the growth! I have the best two sales people in the state working as my GM and my WGM."

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

"You have to have a passion for fitness. Plain and simple, if you aren't excited about helping someone get in shape, they will be able to tell. I love what I do, so this is far from a job to me. When coming in, find out what makes the best the best. What I've learned is to build the value of the club up. I even let the person know that if they have any questions about anything in our gym at any time, that they can and should come up and grab me and ask. I show them the proper way to lift on my tours, and when I'm working out there, I've worked out with some of the members I signed up. Everyone that I have enrolled loves me and sends people to me all the time. This is how I'm number two in the state at the senior sales counselor, and I've only been there now 40 days. Unlike other jobs I've put in the time and busted my butt, for the first time coming early and staying late is getting me promoted faster than any other job I've ever worked. Again, this career isn't for everyone. I just hate people bashing a company and industry I've grown to love!"

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

"It would be nice to make more than 7.25 at first. But now that I'm breaking draw ($580 your sales commission needs to be more than 7.25 full-time to get paid more), I love working here."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Keep lighting a fire under the sales team's butt!! They are the best two in the state for a reason. They have great training and are willing to take the time out to explain everything. Because of how great my management is, I'm looking to get promoted. I'm the number two salesman in the state, and I've been with the company for 39 days!"
