Terrible culture from top down. As the GM you are expected to be the operations manager, marketing manager, HR, substitute instructor, cold caller, etc.  Job security? Little to none. Have one bad month and they’ll terminate you. Also ZERO benefits. I got hired knowing that the gym was in the red. Tried to change the work culture within the gym and succeeded. But in order to get the gym out of the red, it’ll take miracles. Three months isn’t enough to turn around a gym where the previous sales/management staff didn’t care to try. Even though, every month there was growth coming out of the hole that they made, that didn’t matter. They don’t care about workplace culture, just numbers. Unfortunately, that’s just a character trait of a gym that’s severely in the red and won’t make it out of it. They don’t give you the resources to succeed. They don’t have a marketing department, everything is solely based on you and the second you fail, you’re out. Not only do you have to cold call at least 50 per day, you also have to flyer 300 per day? How was I supposed to do that when we weren’t fully staffed in the sales team? The only good thing about the gym was the instructors. They really cared about their craft. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great company culture with a boss that truly cares and supports growth. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It's not a stressful job, it's pretty simple and straightforward. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This is a local, small business run by a young entrepreneur who truly lives the mission. People are fun and accepting. No frills, no gimmicks, no trendiness. As a coach you are the leading the vibe,  so make sure you bring your A game, and the members will follow. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I show up early, open the place up, pick some good music and let people in. Class starts with a warm up and class lasts exactly 1 hour. The set up and close down tasks are clearly posted and easy to follow and don't take longer than 15 minutes. There is some minimal cleaning and organizing. If you open you make a board that shows class title and tools. When people come in you chat, develop relationships and make people feel welcome. Encourage, coach, give good tips for improvement and acknowledge progress, etc., We take a couple pics/videos of class and post on Slack.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Training the people was great, I made new acquaintances, and was able to train there as well.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The location I was working at didn’t have the best management, kids were some times running around out of control, and the schedules were all over the place. Although I was one of the most top recommended coaches in that gym, management showed no appreciation nor respect for the hard work I had put in.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Other coaches were very respectful and nice only issue was that management didn’t show much appreciation nor respect. The manager also does cash payment even though on there contract it says “no cash payments”. I also had a friend come do a 6 month plan with us and the manager still continued to charge their card after their plan was over with.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday was pretty much the same but they don’t offer enough hours either, it’s more like a side job.

I come in and check how many appointments we have for the day. I make sure that my employee that opens the gym has finished all morning duties and has fully stocked merchandise. Sell memberships to customers that walk in wanting information about the gym. Hardest part about my job is being away so much from my family. Currently work 6 days a week all day long. The most enjoyable part is being able to help others reach their personal fitness goals and keep a positive attitude for members to enjoy their workout.

I learned a lot at this job. I learned aspects of marketing I did not even know existed. I have many hats here - so to speak. I can now do website development and editing. I never thought I would be able to run a gym and a nutrition company given my legal background. This job provided many new challenges and the professional growth I have received during my time here is incredible.

Working for knockout fitness was a great experience helped me grow as a business manager and as a person, having direct contact with the owners of the company and member of the gym interacting with different individuals every day. Training and developing new members of my team helped me focus to better my skills, and meeting new people made me better in the networking business.

I would teach classes kickboxing and boxing including Brizilain jiu jitsu. Classes are one hour long. starts of with a fifteen minute warmup followed by either class option. Also i am certified in personal training and  power lifting. I would train people in private sessions helping become healthy and physically. Fun Job over all.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people are definitely the best part

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There’s something really stressful except you probably won’t be able to teach as many classes as you'd like

Nothing compares to walking into a gym to see a full size ring and 30 heavy bags hanging from a cage. This place is incomparable with its innovative idea to collaborate boxing and CrossFit into one.
