      Fitness Trainer Interview

      Oct 21, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Planet Fitness in Oct 2015

      Interview

      I interviewed with Planet Fitness twice. Apply online. Standard questions, easy to navigate. Pretty nice. Recruiter called fairly quickly. She was friendly, professional, and eager to support the gym's hiring process. That's where the professionalism ended. 1st time I interviewed: I was called by the manager, to schedule an interview. 2 hours later I was called by a customer service associate and was told that the manager wasn't going to be able to interview at that time, and she rescheduled me for the next day (why didn't he make the call himself???) When I went in for the interview, everything went fine. Upon leaving I was asked by the manager to call if I do not hear from him by Monday, or if I accept another position. Monday went by, no call. Tuesday I called and asked to speak with the manager about my position, long pause and was told to call back in an hour. I called in an hour, confirmed the manager has been there all day, and I just asked the customer service rep if they hired a new trainer... her response was yes, he's going through his orientatiblon, do you want to speak to him? Then an hour later I get a call from another rep telling me they hired someone else. 2nd Location: Interviewed, was told by the manager to call and follow up with him on Tuesday. Called Tuesday afternoon, customer service rep answered and when I asked to speak with the manager I was told hang on, I could hear her call him over and explain the call to him, and then clearly hear him reply "Tell him I'm not here." SO THAT WAS IT FOR ME. Later that week I received a call from the recruiter, telling me that the person the just hired "fell through." This behavior seems very standard within the company. Don't ask applicants to follow-up call you if you if you don't have the spine to tell them you hired another. Franchise Owners really need to look at who they trust to run their company, because this is how you run off good people. I consider myself lucky for not getting hired.

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Planet Fitness (Jackson, NJ) in Mar 2021

      Interview

      After applying online I was contacted for a phone interview. The person was very unorganized and forgot about my interview in the first place. I had to call the gym to remind them. It lasted 5 minutes and they seemed to not know the answers to any of my questions. I honestly checked out of the interview once they told me what the pay would be. Overall, the interviewer was very unorganized and was not helpful at all in this experience.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Planet Fitness (Pflugerville, TX) in Sep 2016

      Interview

      3 separate interviews, but only went to two interviews. One with the manager of the location, then the regional manager. With the manager of the location, they will go over the application you submitted online on their website. Ask me a few questions and what is to expect, plus job duties of the position I applied for. Also, I was given a tour of the facility.

      I was only interviewed by the assistant manager because the general manager was absent that day. We sat down at an open table and he asked questions for about 5-10 minutes.
