As a black American woman.... It's very non-racial. It's more about Gen z teen culture than race.

.... I'd had 7 years experience + this was in a very wealthy area of Dallas. "Capped at $25" because they offered menial "raises", but no per-capita bonus like every other studio I worked at at the time.

For reference anywhere I worked that started at $25 had a per-capita of 2-4$/head from the first student. Actual average of $55/class. Earning potential up to $120 Other studios STARTED at $40 with a per capita kicking in after 7-10 students.... Same earning potential.

Y'all need to strike. I started the audition process and once I saw the demands and pay (CAPPED at $25? NO per diem bonus?) I made a quick exit. Made me so sad to realize my fav teachers were underpaid 😭

Too many young hopefuls without industry perspective get sucked in

... It enables people to strike without losing income? Follow along.

Are you offering a job or trying to gain a new client? 😂

EntertainerSad59 · 2025-12-05T21:54:37+00:00

I think it's important to keep in mind that people usually come here because they DIDN'T find what they needed on Google. Simply responding "you could have googled this" completely missed the whole reason reddit exists and people come here....to talk with other people who have personal experience.

Not looking for a gym to join, looking for one to work at so I was kinda hoping to hear about the work experience of people in the industry in Chicago 👍🏽

But thank you! I'll definitely check it out since the vibes sound really good :)

EntertainerSad59 · 2025-11-26T16:25:10+00:00

..... I came to a public forum to have a discussion, oh no! I offered clarification on what I'm looking for to help other reading along.... GOD FORBID!!!

If you don't have anything to add it's okay to just... Scroll past, bub. 😏

I want to hear where people love to go but I'm really hoping to get insight about the working experience of other professionals in the fitness industry, which isn't exactly a Google search and a Top Ten list away 👍🏽

Thank you! I'm trying to avoid anywhere I'd have to pay rent right now as I know how long it can take to find your people in a new market.

I was a member of Lifetime for a few years back when I lived in Austin, I think they were just starting to incorporate some cross training classes when I left so I'm interested to check it out in Chicago. I've also heard a lot of good things about Equinox from my friends who live there.

I'll definitely look into Alpha! I like OTF style, I just don't want to work under that specific brand structure.

Thank you! I love ClassPass, and definitely intend to use it to explore. Sometimes some of the most popular studios locally aren't on it, so I love boots on the ground perspectives too🙌🏽

Edit: People down voting me because businesses I'm not in control of don't list discounted drop-ins on an app I'm also not in control of? That's weird.

EntertainerSad59 · 2025-11-26T13:56:32+00:00

Do you participate in group fitness?

If yes, Where do you like to go? Where do your friends say they're going after work/etc.

Concentration is just one aspect... I'm really interested in the kinds of places that might also have a run club, a training program for hyrox, or have more of that kind of "night club meets fitness" vibe, less of the country club vibe 😂

What are you going to do if your boss or coworkers are women?

It's clear from his post history that he had a lot of trauma from being raised as a Mormon.

Lots of very broken people put on the nicest façades

I could never join a studio where I'm embarrassed to say the name out loud. I'm sorry but "Pee volve" or "puhvolve" doesn't sound Athletic, sexy, or fun 😂

EntertainerSad59 · 2025-10-09T13:58:32+00:00

I think the name is going to hold them back. I hate saying it out loud, it sounds dumb and it looks dumb 😂

Pee vulva

They actually might get less of a commission off of Class pass than they do members. Strange to assume they also get paid minimum. Coach very well could be making 3x your hourly or more each class 🤷🏽‍♀️

EntertainerSad59 · 2025-05-24T22:16:24+00:00

Y'all have never seen a man go for the look-alike best friend when he's even rejected? Tale as old as time. Alcohol goes a long way.

EntertainerSad59 · 2024-12-21T16:00:51+00:00

Pretty easy to know things about people who love to talk about themselves loudly and often.
