I've notice at my local 24 hour fitness club there seem to be a high turnover rate among it's employees, especially in management. i see them there for 2-3 months and then they're gone. Does anyone know why? Are they transferred to another club? Are they let go? Or is the pay bad?
The pay is bad. Salespeople work on commissions and trainers are expected to develop a paying clientale. People in their 20s are kind of flighty about non-career jobs too. I went to one some years back and they were perpetually advertising "a sale ending in a few days". They, like some other gyms, were trying to get you to sign a three year, automatic bank debit contract. These are very difficult to terminate. They also renamed the sales commission as a "processing fee" as distinct from the "initiation fee" which they waive for special customers (everyone). Its sleazy and expensive if you get caught in a bad contract.

Because its a [censored] gym. People hate working there just like they hate working out there.
