Horrible place to work for, good place to workout if you're not an employee
Member Services Team Member (Former Employee), MN – December 9, 2012
Pros: membership
Cons: being treated unequal, turnover, short-staffed, employee value, employee morale, management, compensation, overall quality
It's been an up and down turn with this company. I've gotten trashed talked, and yelled at numerous times for absolutely nothing. The only reason I was still with the company was because of the free membership and I was well qualified for my position I was in with my degree. My department head tried firing me numerous times for nothing. I was a very – more... hard worker and didn't do anything wrong so they couldn't technically fire me. The turnover in the company is huge because if they don't like you, they get rid of you. One of the Member Service DH was called into corporate and fired and had to walk out the back door of corporate. The only way you get up in the company is if you backstab and destroy the relationships that you have and be a type of person that doesn't like to do hard work and just yell at people all the time. You will not like the person you become here even if they offer you the job of a lifetime, in which case you'd still be brain washed. Many people have backstabbed each other for promotions and the quality of working here sucks. They don't care about you as an employee and they only care about themselves. I have a lot of other valuable information, but can't disclose on this website, but just know that it's just a money making company that doesn't treat their employee's fairly. – less

Fun and high passed work environment
Kids Activities team member (Current Employee), Troy, MI – November 28, 2012
Pros: free gym membership
Cons: short hour shifts
Working with children in the child center at Lifetime Fitness provides an environment that is warm and friendly. Also, this job is very versatile on a day to day basis. As a supervisor, I have learned that every person needs to be managed in different ways.

stay clear of lifetime
operations (Current Employee), rochester hills, mi – November 19, 2012
Pros: free membership, members are awesome
Cons: too many to pick just one
I've worked there for over a year and have looked for a job the entire time. They purposely under staff. You have to know the vision, mission and dept. statements at all times. On your own time you have to go online for all these certifications and tests the most recent took 1 1/2 hrs. Absolutely no appreciation pay is min wage and benefits are expensive. – more... Its a very demanding, crabby, looking to blame atmosphere. Heard my boss get chewed out over thewalkie for not answering by the GM. She demeans people every chance I think she enjoys it. – less

Challenging field that suits fitness minded people
Membership Advisor (Former Employee), Lakeville, MN – November 18, 2012
Pros: free membership, potential for high pay
Cons: 50+ hour weeks and high pressure from corporate sales support staff
Typically day revolves responding to member and prospect e-mails. Make phone calls to all leads. Schedule and give tours to prospective members. Connect members so sport and training services.

Learned an extensive and particular selling process. Learned a lot about health and fitness.

Management frequently had a revolving door. Changed management – more... several times in my short duration working there.

Co-workers were fun and typically passionate about fitness. Trainers and membership staff tend to have high turnover with the high hours and often little payoff depending on the month.

Most difficult part of the job was forfeiting free time in exchange for money. Expect 50+ hour weeks, most of which are actually enjoyable. – less

Fun, upbeat, interacting with members and staff
Member Service Representative (Current Employee), Coon Rapids, MN – November 11, 2012
Pros: free membership
Cons: the salary
Depending on the day, it can be crazy busy or fairly quiet. I am the first person the member will see, so I'm always smiling. Now I've been there awhile so I know alot of them by name. I learned a variety of different ways to be heathly and encourage all the members to do the same. Remain positve. My co-workers are nice. We're all there to better lives.
The – more... hardest part is standing the whole time, I do move around alittle but the majority of the time I'm standing.
Most enjoyable, seeing a member lose a ton of weight, their attitude is amazing, it's great to see the before and after. – less

An upbeat place to work with great members and even greater employees
OPERATIONS TEAM MEMBER (Former Employee), Troy, MI – October 29, 2012
Pros: free membership to the fitness center
Cons: short breaks
I loved coming to work and being able to interact with all the members. Every day, I had the opportunity to meet new members, help guide new employees with what they have to do. I have gotten a deeper understanding about customer service and being able to fully help a member with every need. The Operations department is a very important department in – more... Lifetime Fitness. We kept the gym clean, the locker rooms clean, we washed and folded towels for the members to use, and we assisted any member with questions, comments, and concerns. My fellow team members were amazing to work with, because they were more than willing to help out with any needs that I or any other team member had. It really taught me how to be apart of a team as well as working individually towards a goal. The hardest part of the job would have to be the overnight hours; due to being short-staffed for a couple weeks, I had volunteered to help out with the overnight hours. It dealt with a lot of thorough cleaning. The hard part was staying up all night. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to help the members out. I love to make sure that every person that walked into Lifetime Fitness could walk out feeling healthy as well as appreciated. – less

It's a great team environment that teaches one growth on all levels through the hurried daily pace in a place where the foot traffic is incredibly high.

Broken Promises
Overnight Facilities Operation Supervisor (Former Employee), Troy, MI – October 24, 2012
Pros: pretty women
Cons: short breaks
My time at life time would have been mch better if I wasn't promised so many things coming in. Having a degree and playing sports in college the Department Head was telling all theses things and had me believing I would be his Asst Department Head coming in. Nothing he told me was true and it took away from working with a great company.

Personal Trainer (Current Employee), Maple Grove, MN – October 23, 2012
Pros: busy atmosphere
My typical day at work is very busy. I typically go from client to client and try to design new programs in my free time. Catching up on emails and paper work is what I do in any open time I have.

LOTS of turnover
Director (Former Employee), Chanhassen – October 23, 2012
Pros: free club membership
Cons: everything else.
Was there over five years and it had over 100% turnover in my department. Don't get too close to your co-workers because the chance they'll still be there in a year not good. I saw the CEO brow beat everyone from the VPs to the receptionist. Driver drivers survive for awhile there but if you want a work/life balance or you have a family, stay away. – more... You won't be happy. It is also a dictatorship and all decisions are made by one man at the top. – less

poor management
Team Member and Camp Counselor (Current Employee), Rochester, MI – October 18, 2012
Pros: free membership
Cons: short breaks (if you get a break), poor management
Management and supervisors are poor. Pay is minimum wage, and some employees do all of the work while others stand around and just talk to each other. Cliques are bad also. If you don't mind doing all of the work, while getting no credit this place isn't too bad to work at. Most of the time you don't get a break, and when you do, you only get 10 minutes.

Hard working, clean, and safe environment.
Been working there for over a year. Have been loving the experience. My co-workers are all so friendly. It's a great atmosphere to be in. Hardest part of the job would be making sure our budget is correct.

SummerForecast – November 5, 2012

Hi, I am applying for a Kids Activity Supervisor Position for Lifetime Fitness in Tennessee, and I am curious about how well you like your job and what your job is like day to day. The description for the job is very vague. Also I never know what an appropriate salary is to ask for, so if you don't mind telling me, what salary do you make as a Kids Activity Supervisor for Lifetime Fitness?

Assistant Department Head of Member Services (Former Employee), Allen, TX – October 16, 2012
Pros: work environment, coworkers, fitness
Cons: pay, management, hours
Management is AWFUL! Luckily my final manager was great and made the experience much better, but my first manager broke tons of rules and was never punished and although moving up in the company was relatively easy the pay was poor and they expected 60 hour work weeks on low pay.

Productive, fun working environment
Member Engagement Advisor (Former Employee), Schaumburg, IL – October 15, 2012
Pros: sometimes got free lunches, free membership at life time
Cons: long hours, 100% commission
Time flies being a Member Engagement Advisor while you are there. High quota makes it often difficult to meet if you plan on having a life. Not a job I would recommend for someone who has a family. Management was good, they are there for you when you need them, and are very clear on what is expected. Hardest part of the job is that it is 100% commission – more... and long long hours. Most enjoyable part of the job is that while you are there working it is a fun place to be. – less
