My Experience working For Planet Fitness

In this video I will talk about what it’s like to work for Planet Fitness as a Trainer.
I'll be going over some of the daily tasks, how the schedule is setup and what you can expect from your environment.
We will discuss some of my own opinions about how I think they can grow and what opportunities exists. You will get a breakdown of classes to be taught, some daily activities, work expectations, team dynamic and the potential growth factors with the gym.

Your welcome! Thanks for the comment

[@viewer409]

Nice video, thank you for this input! You might consider adding to the title “…as a person trainer”. I thought you were a member services person at first.

[@Shaudo]

Nah it’s all good

So I worked at Blink for 6 months and I received 3 months of floor hours which was nice. I think it was 15/hour at the time. Meetings were held every week for sales talk and to get a client on board. After the floor hours I would have maybe 2-3 clients? So the money wasn’t worth staying to me.. this was right before Covid. Now you NEED to have 10 sessions a month or you are fired. They only give you one month of onboarding as well. I want to join planet fitness to be a trainer so I can help others but group settings scare me still haha. How did you get over your fear of group setting classes or did you not have any issue with it?

[@Shaudo]

So group setting took a bit to get adjusted to after a week it was smooth sailing. It was my first time teaching group classes but it’s not that bad, after you demonstrate you have them try and slowly go around and correct. That’s at least what I did and then get people excited or have maybe 1-2 people who have high energy and can keep the energy up. Be loud so people can hear you and walk like you mean business We all have our own style and flow, your people will love you for it. Planet fitness doesn’t allow the trainers to 1-1 sometimes you’ll have a class that is only 1 person in it but you won’t be set to just train one person.

At the time and location, where you worked at what hours did you work normally? I will be having my 1st interview on this coming up Monday (4/8/24) any tips?

[@Shaudo]

So a lot has changed since I worked there but the hours will vary based on peak time at the gym you select and I was in Maryland

[@MaritzaArgueta]

Hello friend you the Best ☺️☺️

[@Shaudo]

Thank you 🙏🏾 keep up the good work in the gym you’ve come far

[@ordepeter]

What was the work schedule like? 7 days a week? How many hours a day? Is there part time? Thanks for the video!

[@Shaudo]

Monday - Friday it varies per location they try to match the schedule with peak hours Only part time 35 hours (roughly 7-8 hour days except friday

Im a new trainer I just got offered a position at crunch and planet fitness. In your opinion which gym would be best for a new personal trainer?

[@alanpenaf.7633]

Crunch. Planet Fitness is shit, literally. I work there

[@Shaudo]

Planet fitness will offer group classes so you can get exposed to a lot of people and experiment with different body types. Very fast paced environment. While crunch will probably have one to one sessions so you can really sharpen your programming skills and test your coaching style and get to build relationships a bit more directly plus maybe group. I’d say for sure Planet fitness if you want to learn a lot fast. And get good experiences in a group setting. If you want to build a 1-1 business then crunch would definitely be the solution

[@mayrhect]

very good advice, can you just please make the music less loud😅

[@Shaudo]

Don’t know if I can at this point

[@viewer409]

@@Shaudoyou’d probably need to re-edit then re-upload, which might reset your hit count meter. Lesson learned, right, just make future videos more audio balanced. 😊

[@Shaudo]

@@viewer409 re-edit lol no sir we will let this one just hold the L of audio

[@jadebreezey5105]

I’ve work at planet fitness for 3 years love the job but I had to leave after so long because of the pay 😭

[@Shaudo]

Yeah the pay isn’t competitive but better than not having any clients to train

[@andrewfuimara6802]

Are you still training Same were

[@shannonorourke9523]

If you do 1-1 are you getting more money for that or is still 15/hour?

[@Shaudo]

No 1-1 allowed at PF at the time of this comment

[@leftysr2stupid354]

So what are you doing now? Did you go on to make a business or something out of being a trainer??

[@Shaudo]

I did ! Went and got a spot to train clients and everything

[@justinphy7229]

But how and where do you apply for this position?

[@Shaudo]

Any planet fitness career website, call and ask the manager directly if they are hiring if you want to stand out
