Being a Fitness/Wellness Employee
is a common choice in Singapore for many who are either new to the
industry, or, for those who prefer to work within the confines and structure of an
organization.
The Fitness/Wellness Employee
often finds employment in one of the large fitness chains in Singapore,
possibly as one out of countless others employed by the same
organization, month-in, month-out.
The Employee must be prepared to
be subjected to the rules, regulations and ethics of that
particular organization, and has to work patiently up the
organization's hierarchy or social structure ladder.
Pros Of Being A Fitness/Wellness
Employee
1. Regular paycheck
2. Employee benefits, like healthcare
and CPF
3. Training and guidance in your job
scope provided
4. Provision of training facility and
equipment
Cons Of Being A Fitness/Wellness
Employee
1. Limited Income Potential
- As an employee, you are usually put on a fixed basic salary scale, and any salary
increase/bonuses/perks are often pegged to performance indicators
decided by your employer.
2. NO Control Over Your Work
Environment
- You CANNOT choose your work
colleagues, your working space, your duty roster or even your clients.
3. NO Control Over Your Job Scope
- As an employee, be prepared to take on
all sorts of general responsibilities, including those NOT related to
your professional training - such as manning the reception, issuing locker keys, folding towels, cleaning exercise equipment,
and other housekeeping chores,
and of course, also making sales calls etc etc....
4. Ever-Increasing Sales Quota To
Meet
- The fitness/wellness employee often
finds himself/herself in this predicament - having to meet
ever-increasing sales targets - month after month. Many Singapore
fitness professionals find this the most distasteful and stressful
part of being an employee in a fitness chain.
5. Your EMPLOYER Will Always Take A
Percentage From Your Earnings.
- Whatever amount you make from your
training sessions with clients at
your employer's facility, your employer will always take a CUT
off your earnings. UNFAIR - but a fact of life for the fitness
employee. You are often left with only a small percentage of what's
originally paid by the client.
