I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at LA Fitness (Chicago, IL) in June 2010
Interview
I liked the guy I interviewed with. The only thing that frustrated me was he kept me waiting for a long time (interview was scheduled to start at 1 and I sat there until almost 1:30) and also he was so busy he had to keep answering the phone and leaving in the middle of the interview. I was offered a job, and am still considering it, but all the bad reviews online are scaring me.
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.
