Meeting in person. Reviewed experience as stated on CV. Gave a tour of the gym and had to give a sample PT session. It was very straightforward. As long you know the work and have the experience, you'll be fine
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Blue Heron Fitness (Virginia Beach, VA) in Aug 2014
Interview
Small company so you will only interview with owner and location manager. Drop off resume, be sure to follow up with location manager in order to meet with owner to schedule an interview. Very easy process as they are a small company therefore you will not have an HR dept to deal with.
