Might have an opportunity at a franchised Gold's Gym to work as their Director of PT. Thing is, I would not be working for Gold's directly, as they hire a 3rd party contractor for their trainers. Basically it seems like I would be in charge of the hiring of trainers, and responsible for the gym sales quota for training session packages.
I am curious to hear if anyone has experience with working for a 3rd party contractor in a gym. My biggest concerns lie with the fact that it's highly doubtful I would be offered healthcare, and usually as a contractor you have to file taxes quarterly and usually pay a lot more than your average person. Any input would be appreciated. The job has a relatively low base (probably 30k max) with bonus potential averaging 2-3k a month and you also work out some of the clients and have the ability to make a couple hundred extra a week doing that. I was told it would likely be 50-60 hours a week, as well.
