"LA Fitness is a well rounded very diverse fitness company that helps people not only with their health but it also helps them with their confidence in the way they view themselves Daily. I feel that LA Fitness is a great place to be because it represents professionalism while also making you feel like family . You get to meet people from all different walks of life and With me being a personal trainer I get up close and personal with the members.. I feel that it is very beneficial for not only the clients but also the employees."

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

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."
