World Health Edmonton

The management plays favorites and lose many star employees because of it! They claim integrity but only when the owners show up! lol  Then when the owners leave they show there true colors! I worked for a manager who would change the guest register so his favorite sales person could take more walk in traffic! It was very frustrating because I would bring it up to him and he would say there is nothing I can do because he is the manager! It is unfortunate that the owners have no idea what happens right under there noses and wonder why this company if failing right now! There are so many other things that go on there regarding lack of integrity! I did however recently find out that this manager was recently taken from his position at one of the better clubs and sent to the worst location! This gives me some satisfaction that the owners are finally noticing that this manager has no talent in a leadership role! I am assuming they sent him there to hopefully have him resign as he will not make much of a commission cheque there lol Good Luck World Health and I hope you will be more aware of what goes on in your clubs!

I worked as a trainer at World Health. I enjoyed the people I worked with. I learned so much about training through practical experience and formal training. It was a wonderful experience and I learned a great deal about what it is like to work with people who need help with a variety of physical needs. A trainer has to work with people who wish to lose weight, get physically fit, increase strength, build muscle, and improve injured areas.

The management was very supportive and extremely helpful. My co-workers worked as a team and could be counted on for assistance when needed. The hardest part of the job was balancing all the different needs of people who wanted training for many different reasons. The most enjoyable part of the job was working and helping people develop the skills they needed to improve their physical fitness, diet, and the remediation of injuries.

They have you do an orientation which was great and full of information that has been outdated for probably 5+ years. At first I really believed in the company and loved what they stood for, but a few months in I quickly realized that all they really care about is money.  
The turn over is alarmingly high which makes sense because they treat employees like a number instead of a person. They always have a ridiculously high quota or goal which basically sets you up for failure. Lastly, management and head office defiantly need to be retrained on how to coach, instead of threatening to fire everyone everyday.  If you are one to kiss the higher ups butt and do the same 100 calls everyday than this is the job for you

My job never ended being a 24/hr club I was on call at all hours.
While at work I trained people, made the schedule, did bank deposits, kept up with social media.
Checking stats, calling potential members, seeing guests upon arrival and showing them what the club offered.
I learned time management, how to manage a team of 10+
Management expected a lot without training or the knowledge of what they wanted done. 
Co-workers were supportive and worked well together
Hardest part was not know what was expected and not having the training needed.
Most enjoyable was getting to know the members and teaching my team how to do their job and making sure they know how to do it.

When I first started with World Health I  thought the work environment was fun and I actually liked coming into work. However with all these recent changes to management,  higher ups and all these changes going on I slowly began not to enjoy coming to  work. I felt that some of these changes weren't necessary. I feel as though  with all these changes going on they may of pushed some of their long time member out. The turn over is crazy. I felt that World Health at times didn't really listen to there employees.

Great atmosphere and team spirit. Competitive nature in regards to bonus’ and commissions on top of minimum hourly wage. 

They say they take pride in their customer service yet continue to charge people for unused memberships reminding customers that they’re at fault for not canceling in a timely manner. Yet keep track of the % of usage, vs active memberships. Ya da, ya da, 

I really enjoy working here and its why I have stayed despite the long hours that are put in. The work life balance is very challenging in this position, but the company itself is phenomenal and I would recommend it to anyone.

Super disorganized company with a million payroll problems. Save yourself the headache and work somewhere else. Company does not appreciate employees and needs to update the way they are doing things to stay competitive.

It’s alright, everyone’s really nice. But not much support for new comers. If you’re not making a lot of money then you’re not really cared about or focused on. You do get benefits working there a free gym membership and CECs. 

Great company culture and overall a great place to work. Great work/life balance and management is very supportive. There are a lot of great mentors in this company to learn from. I would recommend this company to anyone!
