I applied through other source. I interviewed at Fitness World (Richmond, BC) in Aug 2022
Interview
I was interviewed by the Fitness manager and the general manager of the location. They wanted to see my qualifications resume. We talk a little bit about my experience, but they were ok with me not having any experience as long as my personality was fit to be a personal trainer, which is just outgoing, able to teach friendly and can make sales. After that, the Fitness manager told me to lead him around the gym as if he was a client and how I would queue them and converse with them and to see how much I knew about Fitness.
