Crunch Fitness...

Hi everyone!

I'm kind of looking for the good, the bad and the ugly here...

I'm brand spanking new to the industry which means I have no idea how any of it works. I'm 36F and making a career pivot at this point makes my stomach turn - I'm so nervous.

I am applying to gyms and have an interview at a Crunch in a couple of weeks. I've done a quick phone call and a Google Meet with the Fitness Director at this location. The next round is in person and we'll have some normal interview conversation and then I'll take her through a workout on the floor.

I guess my main fears are income and benefits.

How long on average do you think it takes to actually start seeing some real income? Obviously it's different for every individual but is there an educated guess? Did anyone have to take on a second job until they built a book?

Again, I'm 36 and it's starting to show, ya know? I need health insurance and this place doesn't seem to offer it. What do you all do? Are there gyms that do offer insurance?

Has anyone worked at a Crunch? What was your experience?

Thank you in advance for any advice you're will to take the time to give!

Edit: Another question about schedule.. they have a split schedule where you train clients from say 7-11am and then 3-7pm. For anyone who’s worked something like that, what are your thoughts?

Chefs and Foodies!

I've never had a Tomahawk steak and it's something I've been wanting to check off the list - where do I go for the juiciest piece of red meat?!

What to do?!

Guys.. I’m in town until Monday and this weather has put a damper on my plans. Anything fun happening?!

Edit: I’m not too bothered by the rain and enjoy a challenge. Do we think it would suck to hike up to the Mill Mountain Star?

I know it's a pretty large area that I'm highlighting - feel free to comment on anywhere in there!

I'm looking at the Roanoke area to relocate to but also curious about this slightly more SW region of VA. I love the mountains and 'untouched' nature and it looks like this little corner has a good bit of that.

How isolated is it? What does diversity look like? How are job opportunities? (Specifically gyms - personal trainer) How bad do your winters get?
