ESPORTA FITNESS

Having a fun environment as an employee here can be dependent on the culture of employees that surround, just like any job. My experience in that particular asset has been wonderful, I've had such supportive co-workers & employees that have made my time at work quite amazing. The jobs its self have various benefits that can seem worth it to some & not to others (For starting positions at least). Being a fitness manager or training director do have great compensations & benefits that can be taken advantage for. I've personally enjoyed my salary/benefits, and have made a very comfortable living with even potential to make more income. The day to day activities for either positions aren't too demanding, but can be stressful or a lot at once. I've been placed in a wonderful district of clubs where its all about having fun & competition, all the managers & directors have such a passion for fitness & love going to work everyday which really allows for such a great comradery. In my personal opinion, trying out a career opportunity at Esporta Fitness can be a really good thing for those into fitness & looking to further improve their leadership, communication, and training skills. If you are able to work your way up to the top in a few years, then I think its well worth it. 

I worked for this company for literally a month.. I was hired on as a personal training counselor within the first  10 days of working I made 15k I was then promoted to Assistant Personal Training Director. By my third week I was no longer being scheduled for appointments, I was sabotaged by the membership counselors, tho my numbers never dropped I was then left out of a lot of things. Management did nothing to help I reached out various VP’s but they did nothing to assist. Two days after receiving my paycheck I received a call from the VP right before I was to go to lunch - stating I was not a good fit for the company and I was to gather my belongings as my position was being terminated. I asked how I was not a good fit as I am currently CPT Certified and CPR/AED Certified and I have my Nutritional Certification I was just told I’m no a good fit.
He definitely did not care what I had to say, that company does not care of your making them money if they like you they will keep you if not they will fire you. 
The reality is that I found out my manager and the VP we’re having an affair so naturally I’m a threat so I was “WRONGFULLY TERMINATED” 
Work here at your own risk 

I came into the company around the first weeks it opened in 2020 July, with little to no experience in sales or management. I was always involved in sports being an athlete while always being intrigued with the physiology, anatomy & chemistry of the body. Being promoted to the main Director position for the specific club I’m at really helped me with management skills, social skills, and the overall way to deal with stress and pressure. I think I was lucky enough to have a hierarchy like I did with my district in California (Vice Presidents) who are honestly some of the best genuine boss’s anyone could have. This job and company is a big change from LA fitness with a more caring, kindness, & friendlier atmosphere from what I noticed. Honestly this Job is a great career and the way this company has been recently changing with work/life balance is amazing while still making the same financial growth. 

I wouldn't recommend this company to anybody, especially for the management position.  The company is highly money driven (which I get) and the owners do not take care of their employees, especially on the Operations side.  As an Operations Manager, you have to clean up the mess of the Sales staff and you get paid less than them. Even the bonus program is significantly less than what they make.  It is hard to get promoted since you are competing with many other club managers for the same job.
The best part is the PTO you accrue and the sick time (which you only get 40 hours a year).  The District Managers are overall great, but everything comes from the higher ups, which, I wish they would put in a survey to get some input from employees that are actually in the gyms dealing with members/situations to make some positive changes in the company.

The money is decent though, for the hours you work though. But I can imagine making more in a healthier environment.

I worked for esporta for 3 months after working for a different gym for 3 years. I don’t usually leave reviews but I feel people should know what they’re getting into working for esporta. Preface i worked as a AGM 

Cons: work/life balance is horrible I worked 55 hours a week mandatory 6 days a week. I barely saw my family I barely had time to do anything.
 
The Higher ups (VP’s) they are big on intimidation over motivating. Employees are constantly getting they’re jobs threatened in sales . (Which makes little sense because people don’t line up to apply for their company) 

The majority of Esportas in CT have a Edge fitness close by with far better prices and deals than esporta. the higher ups know this and still put immense pressure on employees to hit quotas when we’re at a disadvantage .

Pros: The money is good 

When the VP’s aren’t there the gym is actually a chill environment 

The coworkers are friendly 


While working at Esporta in lutz, Fl I learned that the reason they put a range for the pay on indeed is because you have to make sells to make a high or decent pay. They start you off just making basic 8.56$ pay or if you make commission, you pay hourly goes down to 6.00 plus a even average of the commission. There’s not enough clarity. The front desk staff are wonderful people to connect and bond with, that’s what made my time there worth it. I learned a lot from the other people in my staff. Customers complained a lot about different broken items in the building or machines not functioning properly, and then it seemed like no one cared about getting things fixed right away but when it came to people signing up we had to over sell the gym. I don’t like lying to people, and that’s what it felt like. I went out of my way to help people who were mad to make sure that their pay was getting it’s worth l. 

It's okay if you are between jobs and need something, but do not stay any longer than absolutely necessary. As a janitor there is absolutely nowhere to advance to and anytime there is a problem, you are usually blamed first. 

In the particular location I was at, it practically rained dust from the ceiling and made cleaning anything feel like a waste of time, as it would be caked in dust again come the next day. 

Managers range from cool to horrible. I was okay with mine at the time, but I've since heard that it only got worse after I left. If you stay busy, however, you will usually have few problems besides being very bored. 

They ARE nice enough to let you listen to music while you clean, so if you need some extra money or are a student, you can make a few bucks cleaning stuff and listening to music or whatever. 

Not the worst job ever, but if you stay long enough you will begin to dread it and start looking for a way out, especially if management is as bad as I've heard it is now.

This is a place to work if you are not only looking for a career, but compensation and recognition that directly reflect your work ethic. Like any sales job, the more you perform, the more money you make. I've seen countless people who came from a life of barely making it check to check, who are now pulling in over $90,000 a year. Management is active in giving you the training you need to succeed, and unlike many sales positions such as cars and real estate, it's very simple in the knowledge you need and the process of a sale. Working at Esporta has given me, a 23 year old with no college degree, an income that is even higher than my parents ever made. It has changed my life and made me confident in my future

What is the best part of working at the company?
You get a free gym membership 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Telling members they signed a contract, working from 9am-8pm, and having members allowed to come back after they’ve cussed you out and made you feel threatened. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Environment in the gym is fun, but culture is micromanaged and constant pressure to sell contracts everyday. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Conference calls twice a day, using your personal cell phone to send 40-80 text messages a day, 2-4 appointments per day with you speaking for an hour straight each time, 3-6 tours a day to prospects and finishing membership deals.

Did not work for them, but caught major red flags. Facility is lovely, however, trainers are seen in the front of the building on their personal phones--not a good look. In the interview, low hourly pay was never specified until I asked; the manager loved to talk about commission and bonus, but did not mention how an employee would get any benefits until asked. Hours required are not mentioned and no-days off schedule is made for you, you have no choice. Full time weekends required. Benefits are out of the question unless monthly quota is met. 
Management emails are not displayed on their website, and in the business world of personal training, that is not a good look. Take it from someone who lived through the frustrations of even interviewing with this company--not worth your time.
