Working at Life Time Fitness in Chicago, IL: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Chicago, IL Area

"This job will not offer you a steady income. Don't expect to make more than minimum wage for the first 3-6 months at least. They cut down your hours to 38/week, even when you have to work at least 50-60 so you don't end up owing the company more money. Supervisors are not willing to take responsibility for teaching you, and use an idealistic approach. "If you're not selling, it is your fault!" The company preaches that we are helping people achieve their goals when they do not offer their staff normal hours (how can we teach a healthy way of life when we don't have it?) and focus on selling more than helping. Members are scared to talk to the staff because they are worried we are going to sell them something. Unfortunately, after making almost the same annual income as a burger flipper at Burger king, the main reason for the poor review is because of the supervisors and corporate. You can ask for more help or resources but expect to be on your own and fighting them every step of the way to just be able to do your job. Don't be lured by the promises that lifetime will offer you. The organization does not want turnover so they keep unqualified people in management positions. Think many, many times before taking a job with this organization."
