"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."

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

What don't you like about working at Bally Total Fitness?
"The salary and benefits that I actually did receive were inadequate for me to survive."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"I have no qualms with the management, nor with the way that the company is run. They invested a great deal of time into making me a more valuable employee. I attribute my struggle to make ends meet primarily to the state of the economy. However, if I were to make one suggestion it would be that management invest in more positive reinforcement (rewards for good performance) as opposed to negative reinforcement (punishment for not reaching standards)."
