FITNESS 19 Employer Reviews

Management Is The Horrible!!
PAY is Worse!!
The members are the only thing good to look forward to everyday, unless you have great coworkers..

There is no typical day in the fitness industry. Each day is exciting and new. I learned a lot about personal training from the management staff. My co-workers were great and excited to be work in a gym. The hardest part about the job is inconsistency in pay do to personal training. Which is typical in most gyms. The most enjoyable part is that I get – more... to work around people that enjoy fitness. – less

I have greatly enjoyed working for Fitness 19 in Evansville for the past three and a half years. It is a fun, friendly, laid back environment, and the manager really cares about people.
There is no measure of how much I have learned and grown there. It's been a perfect job to have during my college career.
The hardest part of the job is standing for – more... extended periods of time. The most enjoyable part is being able to interact with people and make friends. – less

Fun company to work for but the management doesn't know what they are doing at times.

I enjoyed the interaction with the gym members because I could upgrade their workout experience by being their personal trainer. I would walk around and introduce myself to the members and offer them personal training for an additional fee. All of the other Trainers were well trained and helpful with sharing different tips with routines that were customized. – more... The hardest part of the job is that the members weren't willing to pay extra for training, they thought it should be included with their membership fees. I enjoyed helping people accomplish their goals! – less

Fitness 19 is a great concept that promotes fitness and affordability. However, they are behind the times in everything they do. They are one of those, "but we've always done it that way" companies. For example, I previously worked for another fitness company for four years before I went to Fitness 19. We used the fitness club software, Aphelion at – more... my old gym as well as F19, however the version we used at my old club was more current 4 years ago then when I came to F19 and they had no plans on updating it. There isn't much of a structure or fairness to who is eligible to open new locations. There are no interviews or ways to apply for advancement, it is dependent on the operator of the club's relationship with the owners and investors of the company. There is no human resources or corporate structure to go for help when needed. – less

I don't normally stay in the office because I advertise. The management team is great, constantly checking to see if the work is done correctly and the correct places have been flyer-ed.

The most enjoyable part of this job was watching people make themselves better and helping them achieve their goals. In any gym, you're going to get the used car dealer vibe from salesmen, but not so much here. However, the work/pay ratio was a bit out of whack for entry level employees.

I had flexible hours for my family's lifestyle. Manager was good at working with me getting me more clients.
good co workers

hard to find clients at times, low memberships

Fitness 19 is a great place to work out at, you meet many people. It is always busy, whether its with billing (paperwork) or there are many guests and members. I have learned a lot about sales working here.

i must say fitness 19 is a great company to work for, the pay isnt that great but your able to grow with the group. Theirs great management, workers, makes you feel very welcome.

The position as Club Coordinator was a great learning experience for an entry level managerial position. The company was small enough that my position held merit as well as large enough to really get the corporate business side as well.

Althgough I enjoyed my experience here, I did not feel as if I would be able to achieve the amount of personal and professional growth that I desire.

i told them i was pregnant and they started to treat me unfairly.

I enjoyed the clients. It was minimum wage work. however this was an easy job.

Love to work with people. Have met so many nice people at the gym. I used to open up at 4:45 am and work until 11:30, on Monday and Friday, but my hours have been cut to 8:00 to 12:00 Monday and Friday. I am at the front desk to check members in, update their account records, service the women's rest room and make sure all the soap and paper towel dispensers – more... are filled. There really is no hard part to my job and the most enjoyable is the nice people I work with and the members that I greet at the club. – less

I loved working here. The owners are amazing people and so were all of the employees. We got a free gym membership for working there and you couldnt beat the awesome hours i got. I would go back in a heart beat

Clean machines and sign people up for the gym is mainly what you do. sometimes you have to do collection calls and go out and flyer to advertise the gym.

A typical day at fitness 19 starts out with walking into a nice employee greeting you at the door. Then it gets into training for 4 hours then a break and then starts up again at three pm to 8:30 pm I have learned so much while being in this industry. Nutritionally, I have learned more to benefit my clients and writing them work out plans and seeing – more... them in the gym and making it fun with classes and prizes. My management has been everything I imagined it would be. They are great. They work with the trainers and help them succeed in reaching the monthly goal. The hardest part of the job are the hours. You must be in the gym all day everyday to make money.
But they most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the smile on their faces and seeing them reach their goals. – less

Fun and great working environment. The upper management is great and helpful.
