Typical Day at work - would be relaxed until Peak Time, and that is when you have to take control of your position there- the mission Is for the access point at Reception to run smoothly esp. during Peak Hours.  If you can manage to assist at least two people at a time and stay calm, you will be fit for this position. 
The best time to put your smiley face on is PEAKTIME, the clients enjoy interacting with the front desk staff. Therefore being helpful by nature is important and having expectational  communication skills to build to positive relationship with clients is your key to have a successful day. 
Learning - in my experience I enjoy it the most, the more I knew the more I could perform with excellence at my job, I loved the clients and I loved my team. Training is essential in that environment,  so be sure you are open to learn. 
Culture- Friendly, fast paced, teamwork is expectational, depending what energy you give out. 
Well, the hardest part of my job was arriving on time, it was my biggest challenge but nonetheless my duties weren't challenging esp., when you love communicating and interacting with great people from different. 
The most enjoyable part  of my shift,  was successfully helping people and it gave me great satisfaction to know that 99% of my clients was satisfied with the service at the front desk, and established a trusting relationship  was satisfying, the little gestures from the clients made it worthwhile for me to come back to work the next, it gave me a sense a purpose. 

Management is Helpful and Willing to provide training when needed, which Is motivating and encouraging, besides holding up an exceptional service to clients and keeping the Gym running smoothly AT ALL TIMES, Management always made time for their staff, from the cleaners to the floor assistance and reception staff. - CS

my first marketing day in the field at planet fitness, i proved myself by managing to sign deals more 4year experienced consultant at this branch,friendliness to co -workers help to motivate yourself at work.when i became a friend of everybody at the company i got many ideas and open competition form senior workers in the industry,however this help me to grow fast in company.our club was the smallest and has the least facilities than any other branch in the country.this create a big challenge of we were closer virgin active which has world class facilities than any other companies around.the most enjoyable part was the company promotional criteria,he used to appoint the highest performer among consultant to be the supervisor despite the experience or your duration in the company. As a result i became the supervisor in three weeks of employment in this company

In all honesty, my co-workers made the atmosphere much better for me. We are all in the same situation, and found comfort from one another. A typical day at work, was phoning leads and clients, meeting with them, walking them through the gym and showing them all of our facilities and services. Then we would sit and talk about which membership would best suit them. The most difficult part of working for Planet Fitness, was by far, having to be dishonest to clients. But that is what management expected from us. I made many sales, and did not receive any of the commission that I was promised. When confronted, the managers and the sales director said that there was nothing that they could or would do for me. I have recently gotten married, so to say the least, this has been a very difficult time for us. The racism was another issue, I can joke around with the best of them, but the name calling was taken to the extreme and caused a lot of negativity in and out of work.

Company didn't honour group fitness contract as I had a membership contract before I became a yoga instructor there. If you do sign a group fitness instructor contract which states that you are entitled to free training and are already a member, it is your responsibility to phone the call centre and pay a fee to activate free training. The pay is very low for experienced yoga instructors and frankly the membership team from a club level to provincial level are dishonest and don't take criticism well. They refused to refund membership fees I had paid while teaching there, but did not tell me to change my membership contract to a group fitness contract. Also the company does not treat all contractors equally: Some yoga instructors were employed without cpr certification, but I had to go on a course before they would allow me to teach. I really got the feeling that Planet Fitness only cares about money and doesn't care about its employees...

A typical day at work is me happy to ,meet  and greet people and ofcause  deal with the different kinds of querys  that clients have and solve them. 
I learn alot  from work.for e.g the fact that there are different kinds of individuals that one deals with in a day and that you have to find different approach to each person
Great managers build a great team work and how a manager treats his employees determines the productivity  of the workplace
Our workplace culture is the friendship that we promote... as much as there's professionalism  we still see it correct to have a much more friendlier environment

The hardest part of the job is ofcause the hard times where pressure hits all of us and more work is required to meet business target  but ofcause it becomes  alot more fun cause  we do it as a team 

The most enjoyable part  is the part where all of the hard work pays off...

I had to walk a distance of 10km per day since well the company did not have a company car and the company is located in a white area where public transport was a huge problem. I have learned to close the deals, to be a customer agent, to have sympathy, to communicate with clients in a proper manner as I had to make the client to feel that he/she is the most important person. My manager was very strict the word "can't" to him did not exist, he was so passionate in what we where doing and I've learned a lot from him in a short period. The hardest part of the job was whereby you have to go on field and find clients and you will be dealing with different people and when you don't have leads you have to go to the robots and hand out flyers. The most enjoyable part is when you've closed the deal.

Planet Fitness - Lynnwood is a wonderful gym to work at and gain the level of understanding how to work with all types of people. 

Learning to interact wirh several people, motivate people and work with people from what they need when it comes ro their specific body types and what each person wants to accomplish. 

Weither it is loosing weight or building muscle, Planet Fitness told me that hard work does pay off in a sense when it comes to realistic goals being met on a consistent basis.

Planet Fitness shows discipline, character, perserverance, positive mindset and  a tweeked mental mindet rhat improves anybodies overall lifestyle if a person truly commits to one's goals daily.

in both companies the workplace was a fun filled area.There people there were glad to be there because they knew that we will b motivated to achiech and reach our targets and personal goals
i learned that a dairy can be a guide for u to reach everything you need in life.hardest part of the jobs were to get leads because not everyone wants what you selling so i had help from my fellow co-workers to help me close a client
The most enjoyable part of the job was we all were looking out for each other and there was no bad day at work everyday was a good day because we a good manager how motivated us and told us to forget about the past days and focus on the today and the coming days ahead

I've learnt in my current role everyone have their own goals and you as an instructor need to meet every individuals goals by progression to everyone's fitness level.

Management is very friendly and helpful in all means. Work enviroment is very diversity and open to all which make it pleasent and joyful.

Most enjoyable part is seeing the progress of the clients and to ensure they are happy and satisified with my service. I've built a good clientele based and is open to all.

Hardest part of it all is that Cape Town is facing water crisis which affects members participation within the gym due to now water to shower, other than that everything is good.

The sales targets for a gym are very unreasobable.  They take your sales if previously signed members do not pay the following month. It takes over 40 sales a month to actually earn good money. At least they give you basic and commission. But there are no other benefits (Orange club)  And Blue clubs are actually the ones who are treated good and earn better salaries.
The set up part and presentations are tough because you have to get your own spots. Carry the equipment and you are expected to generate more than 20 leads a day, update your diary and makes sales even in the midst of recession. Sometimes you sign people and 20% would cancel within 5 days cooling off period and that is very discouraging.
