I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at LA Fitness (Lake Elsinore, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I had submitted my application online, but I wanted to leave a good impression so I decided to walk in interview ready with a nice hard copy of my resume to hand in. I talked to the guy at the front desk and he told me to take a seat and that he'll notify the Personal Training Manager and that he'll be with me shortly. I did not wait have to wait for very long, but I did not get to meet with the Personal Training Manager, instead they sent the Weekend Manager to meet with me. From there he began to interview me. I was asked questions based on specific scenarios and with a variety of clients.
The interviewer was very nice. He asked me questions about my personal training history and why I want to be a trainer. He asked a couple more questions about my background. I felt good after leaving the interview. I received a call to let me know I got the job and the next steps for onboarding.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What led you into this profession as a personal trainer? What's your story?
Great interview process. Fast and efficient. More like a screening and relaying info than an in depth interview. They didn’t really ask me questions about my qualifications or experience. Mostly on explaining the job process.
Everything was rushed. The vp of sales immediately started sexually harassing me. I complained to their headquarters. I never got paid for the time that I worked. I tried to file a claim with the EEOC.
