I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Equinox (Newport Beach, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
I was contacted for a phone interview, invited for a practical session wherein I gave an instructor a private lesson. I was then introduced to the General Manager of the location. The phone interview consisted of questions regarding my training program, previous jobs, and why I wanted to work for Equinox. The practical session was a 30 minute session wherein I was asked to teach the other instructor a full body work out using every single apparatus at the location.

Question 1
How do you feel about building and retaining your own business?
Easy - phone interview. There was no teaching audition. I was not even asked to teach a private session with observation or teach a practice group class to other instructors.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Equinox (New York, NY) in July 2023
Interview
The first round was a phone interview, getting to know you and your training & experiences. The second round was a half hour Pilates class, and after the class they gave some notes for improvement.
