Working at Orangetheory Fitness

The pros of working for Orangetheory Fitness are the company lives its values. Their motto of more life impacts people's lives, including employees who feel supported to start, learn, and continue to grow in their fitness journey while helping change people's lives.

The cons of working at Orangetheory Fitness is the accountability held for franchise owners. Franchise owners can make or break a company if their vision and goals do not align with the corporation. Other cons are the rigid ability to progress in the company and be eligible for raises and other opportunities.

My favorite perk of working at Orangetheory is to live my vocation to lead, inspire, manage, and encourage my employees, staff members, and community.

I like that Elle, our CEO, is fully invested in Orangetheory Fitness. She has a vision and leads by example to inspire that vision in franchise owners worldwide. I also appreciate the time and commitment the leadership team has and continues to put into innovating technology and training for new hires and members to understand better the job duties and expectations of working for an Orangetheory franchise. The leadership team has magnificently ensured each studio is predictable and consistent worldwide.

I would improve Orangetheory Fitness by ensuring Franchise owner training is taken seriously and mandatory. Franchise owners are the most inconsistent piece of the puzzle for Orangetheory Fitness franchises.

I prepared for an interview at Orangetheory Fitness by ensuring I encompassed the skills, wants, needs, and attributes the company is hiring for. I learned about the company's mission, vision, and values statement and how the company was founded. I completed training and earned certificates before applying for an interview, so I was a top candidate.

In my experience, under my franchise owner, my compensation compares negatively to the industry average.

The representation of diverse demographics is great within my organization. Every employee is interviewed and hired based on the skills they possess above anything else.

Personally, the people bring me the most joy at work. Knowing that I play a part in each person I work with or see daily empowers me to do more and improve. I implement the skills I've learned earning my masters into my job and train my employees to excel in future interviews, jobs, and life circumstances.
