      Personal Trainer Interview

      Sep 14, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Indianapolis, IN
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Indianapolis, IN) in Jul 2016

      Interview

      I had been a part of the company for a couple months before obtaining my CPT so I was familiar the my interviewers so my experience may be different. They basically had me interview with the wellness director and associate wellness director and after the interview you are required to take a drug test with in 24 hours. If you're wantint to work for the Y that should not be a problem.

      Anonymous employee
      Durham, NC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Durham, NC) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      The manager reached out to me, and I was given both a phone call and a Zoom meeting. The conversations were very easy-going, and my previous experience was respected as part of the hiring process. There was no mock personal training session required; I have experience with this elsewhere, and felt it was artificial, so I was happy that it was not required.
