Fit4Life LLC

Let me start off by saying that Fit4Life is a company where you will get as much out of as you put in. The gym industry isn't an industry where you sit behind a desk, kick back and relax, which is a common misconception. YOU put in the work, learn their systems and put time and effort into yourself at getting better and you will be very successful with this company. All sales positions, have a base hourly or salary, commissions to be made on every sale and bonuses that are very attainable if you TRY. 

You get to wear gym clothes, everyday, all day. You mean to tell me I can go to work, be comfortable, interact with members, go outside in the beautiful weather to market all while having the ability to control my own paycheck? Yeah, that beats sitting behind a desk any day of the week. 

Are there bad sales days, weeks, months? Sure. Sales isn't for everyone, sales is persuasion, sales is a transfer of energy, sales is the ability to talk to someone and connect. Not everyone has those abilities and that is OKAY! But guess what, unlike other sales jobs, when you don't get commissions and bonuses due to a bad month, you still get your base pay/hourly. 

I have been with Fit4Life for several years now, have worked for other gyms, this isn't my first rodeo. It's a grind, it takes TIME to learn and master their process, but if you stick with it, you can make GREAT money all while having fun and wearing comfortable clothes. But this industry is not for everyone. It's quick paced, it is a BUSINESS, sales HAVE to be made otherwise, there is NO business.

I just hope that this review persuades at least one person to apply for a role at a company that is exploding in size, opening new gyms every year while most are not. This isn't an LA fitness or Life Time,  a billion dollar company, this is home grown here in North Carolina and this company preaches all the time and is thankful for us, because WE helped build this company to where it is without someone backing us up financially. I take pride in that. 

I would like to say one last thing, negative reviews, they're going to happen. Think about it, when's the last time you ate a really good burger at a local burger joint and your immediate thought was to go give them a 5* review? Yeah, exactly. 

Now, imagine that exact same burger joint, you had terrible service, your burger was cold and they got ketchup on your shirt. You know exactly what you're going to do. 

Just because there are 40 bad reviews on that burger joint, doesn't mean that they don't have 100's of customers that come back week after week, that haven't taken the time to write a positive review because that's not how we think as human beings. 

Before you think about applying here, these are things you need to know.
1. There is no healthcare for Full Time.
Instead, you have to wait 3 months to get a gym membership with them. (LOL)
2. There is no laptop/tablet or phone provided to do your job by the company. You must buy, bring, and use your own.
3. Anywhere you go driving, you will not be reimbursed for gas mileage, you will use your own vehicle.
4. There is no real training set in place, it is done randomly, therefore you will not be given a fair chance at making sales to make commission to start this job, which this job is fully commission based. 
At $9 an hour, that is not a living wage, and no healthcare.

Before I arrived at my location and talked with current staff
Every employee told me that the management was the issue. I kept an open mind and thought maybe they had personal issues. I was always calm, kind, and respectful.
I always did what I was asked of, but this manager talked to me very condescending.
I understood why no one stays and why everyone quits within weeks of working.

Fit4Life has managers, not leaders.

This company is more interested in pursuing more locations rather than supplying their LACKING and UNDERSTAFFED current locations with the supplies and people they need. 

I was hardly ever trained. I was just put on as a Janitor to do secretary work making smoothies.

The coworkers for the most part were always mutual and cool. That's for the sake of sanity and no drama and lack of staff to begin with

What is the best part of working at the company?
Supportive coworkers and meaningful work with clients/children. Good experience for gaining hands-on skills.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Limited support from management when additional resources were needed. Communication could be improved. There were also limited opportunities for pay increases or professional growth.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was team-oriented and fast-paced, which encouraged adaptability and collaboration. It provided valuable hands-on experience and opportunities to build strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Each day brought a variety of tasks that encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability. It was a hands-on role that helped build strong communication and organizational skills.

There’s so many issues with the company that can’t be explained in this review but the essential things i would have to say about Fit4life are these things:
 - Too much work
 - Too little pay
 - Terrible management
 - Toxic work environment
To start just about every single issue at Fit4Life is from the management. The managers are extremely condescending and narcissistic and essentially bully their employees to do whatever they want, they lack doing any actual work but delegate their own task unto employees and play it off as there own to upper management whilst blaming any problem they can on employees. Every issue brought to my attention i’ve been demeaned and insulted and overall the management just lack quality. Fit4Life will hire you and not pay your for the first 2 weeks you work(this is why they can’t get any new hires) and after that they will try to always deduct as much pay as they possibly can. If you are looking for a job that’s consistent, healthy, and where your valued. Go somewhere far far away from Fit4Life.

I love working at Fit4Life. The whole company feels like a family, whether its your coworker you work with everyday, a district manager, or the owner of the company. They all are so personable and have welcomed me with open arms. I enjoy going to work each day and love that the gym has a happy and positive atmosphere. I love that the company truly cares to provide an amazing experience for the members from membership to a personal training experience. Working for other gyms in the past, it's sometimes been more about just selling as many memberships as possible and not caring so much about the member's whole experience, while Fit4Life is amazing about making sure each and every member feels set up for success. I love being a part of the Fit4Life team and would 100% recommend working for this company if you want a positive work environment and endless opportunities to grow! 

Work flies by every single day, only slow days are when my appointments don't show up, but there is still plenty to do.

I've learned a-lot about sales, management, leadership, communication, marketing, advertising, customer service and more importantly how to start and grow a business.

 It is very exciting to be part of a company you get a piece of the pie with. After 3 years they open it to mngmt to invest in future locations and you can even earn sweat equity. Poor reviews happen, not every job is for everyone... but this job is for those that what to work, grow, advance and become an owner.

Best company I have worked with! Support across the board no matter your job title and experience. Endless room for growth, amazing work culture, and people/management who truly care about you as a person. It is very rare to find all of that in a singular company and you can't beat the locations themselves if you are passionate about your personal fitness goals. You will learn skillsets to improve at your position and that growth will reflect in you as a person and how you operate outside of the job,. I stepped into this company at one of the worst places in my personal life and the time here has changed my mindset in a lot of ways and has given me the ability to provide for my children and give me something to reflect and take pride in. I have also made some lifelong friends through my time here and for that you cannot put a price on. 

One of the worst companies to work for.   Compared to others, pay is next to nothing unless you're a General Manager or higher. But be prepared to have no life. Upper management love to kiss a** to the owner, who's only agenda is to open as many clubs as he can so he can sell the company for more money. Which honestly will be the best thing this company does. Often new clubs are left 80% complete before they move on to the next, leaving the entire staff left untrained, that is if they even fully staffed it before they open it in the first place. Turnover rate is through the roof because no one can bare to stay and get talked down to and micromanaged by upper management. Drama and gossip will get around too. Too many times people at one location will know about personal topics at another. A good start gym to work at, but not if you're looking for a career. 

I really enjoy working at Fit4life. Every day, in the things I do, I'm never bored. I appreciate how quickly my day goes by. There is never a dull moment, and there is excitement in my routine. My day is fast-paced, yet I still find consistency.

The amount of professional development that has impacted my personal life is truly remarkable. I've quickly grown from an entry-level position to a general manager.

My favorite part about working here is that there isn't just a fixed hourly wage or salary. With commissions and bonuses, the harder I work, the more I earn!

No company or leader is perfect, but the leadership in this company does its very best and finds ways to improve consistently!
