YMCA Employee Reviews for Ready Fit Coach

What do you like about working at YMCA?

"It's a fun, positive work environment to be a part of, and helping people get physically fit is rewarding; in essence, it's hands-on customer service and support to meet the athletic goals of an individual."

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

"If you enjoy physical fitness and helping people, then this is the place to be! Just don't expect to be rolling in dough, cause it doesn't exist in this business. The staff membership to the Y is quite a sweet perk though, so getting a job here just for that is almost worth it."

What don't you like about working at YMCA?

"A lot of the time, I feel my services could be better used elsewhere in a technical field (outside of physical fitness/health recreation), and sometimes the opportunities to help people just aren't available because there's already a coach assigned to so-and-so individual. There's a significant amount of dead time on the days when I don't have any clients, new or returning, so I end up following our daily checklist of cleaning tasks for the better part of the day, which is tiresome and underwhelming."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I'm not sure if a Y membership price is full justified at close to $50/month, so I would try and figure out ways to make it more economical for people to join my fitness community."
