Pros

There is immeasurable personal reward from helping women change their lives. The service provided is so much more than just losing weight and getting into better shape. You get to interact with many great people who work in this industry as trainers and managers. Also, most of the other franchisee owners are kind, caring people who work hard and love what they do. The members are great too!

Cons

Hard to make money (and thus a living) from owning a single unit, especially given the false projections provided by corporate. Corporate office plays favorites with some franchisees and attacks others. They say one thing and do the opposite. Too many negatives to list. They can't be trusted.

Pros

This is a company on the rise. After 10+ years operating as a Franchise and experiencing some of the trouble maturing companies will, it has "taken a knee" and regrouped to bring a sustainable quality fitness program that shows tremendous promise! They follow business principles that you rarely find in big box gyms or mom & pop studios . They have a philosophy of transparency and positivity. They provide tremendous support and a set of core values that translate from the corporate office to the client. Using the tools and principles in the execution of your job provides results and, if you apply them to your life, they provide a foundation for success in anything you do. In the fitness industry, you typically don't get base and growth pay like you do at GISFW. Anyone wanting to make a career of fitness will find tremendous opportunity here.

Cons

If you are entrepreneurial, this is the company for you! If you are not prepared for the pace and pressure of a growing company, you may find this challenging. You have to bring your "A" game. This is not a 9-5 collect-a-paycheck job. To succeed, you need a strong sense of commitment.
