I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LA Fitness (Irvine, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
There was a typical one-on-one interview followed by a training demonstration to showcase your exercise repertoire. Show your professionalism on the gym floor. Be ready to apply what you learned from your certification to 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.
