Is it hard/easy to hit personal training target at mega gyms like Planet Fitness, Ftiness First, True Yoga etc

I always felt curious whether it is safe to pursue a fitness career in big mega fitness centres. However i always heard of rumours that if you can’t hit personal training sales target, you will be out… I have only work in small fitness clubs, and i have the necessary certification in fitness instructing and personal training. Perhaps, can someone here also share with me the success factor of working as a personal trainer in big mega gyms…..?

I’ve worked at a couple of these mega gyms. I can tell you with all honesty that you are better off in small fitness clubs (which is what I’m doing now). While there are more potential clients in a larger franchise like Bally Total Fitness or LA Fitness, there is likewise more pressure to sell training. And yes, many gyms do require you to hit a certain sales quota; thus, personal training becomes more about being a sales person and less about giving people what they actually need. Moreover, the competition between trainers (who are working for measly pay most of the time anyway) gets fierce. I got out of the larger franchises for this reason and run my own business now, and also work through a local smaller fitness club. And, I’m a 100 times happier.
