high pressure sales

Too much high pressure sales, very high pressure.

$7 flat rate per hour, how can we expect to pay off college loans on this, fast food wages?

REQUIRED to sell overpriced supplements that have little/no benefit, pressured to make false claims about them.

Too many "roid heads" trainers with impressive bodies that are underskilled, "AXE" them physiology questions and they are stumped.

Waaaay over staffed on trainers, they overhire and see who can sell the most training.

Man, I couldn't of said it better myself. I had the exact same experience. Quantity over quality is there motto. I like to refer to them as the "McDonalds of Fitness"

Sales..first....training....ummm..what training?
by: Anonymous

I was one of the top 10 trainers in the CCD (Central California Division). 24hrs is all about sales and individual revenue. SELL more supplements your clients don't need.... SELL more training to the uneducated, through ANY means..

With that in mind, why work for someone else? if your new to the personal training world than i would recommend using 24hr as on the job training and to build you client base.

Overall i HATED working there because the company made it next to impossible to be a good TRAINER and make a living.... and they wanted me to SELL more supplements ;)

Yes and No

24hr is just like all the commercial gyms, are all about making money. You are not a PT. You are a car salesman

Most in house trainers i see, are usually fat, and most dont even look like they workout. You think they actually care??? NOPE
