I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Planet Fitness (Farmington Hills, MI) in July 2016
Interview
Applied online, took the test, was called immediately. They asked a number of questions on the phone. It was a fun interview. I am quite disenchanted, once they found out I was well over 40 the interview process ended. That's sad for a company that I thought was "judgement free." Not to mention, the Planet Fitness I go to has a TON of clients who are approx my age. I am highly disappointed.

Question 1
Past experience, what salary am I looking for. My availability. I am totally qualified. My entire background is sales/customer service. I have great availability. Never thought Planet Fitness age discriminates, but obviously they do. I know this because the entire process was moving quickly until I mentioned I was "older" then everything came to an abrupt halt with an impersonal email telling me they were going in another direction with other candidates. "judgement free zone" yeah right.
The interview process was very good. Just a couple of questions and I was off. Manager was very kind, polite and friendly during the interview. Did not expect as much from a minimum wage job.
It took almost two weeks to get a call for an interview. I had a phone interview with the general manager. I was asked a few questions before I was schedule for an interview in person.

Question 1
I was asked about my availability and customer service experience.
I received a quick 15-minute phone screening followed by meeting with the area and club managers. This all happened within about 2 weeks. I’d say the process was fairly typical to other similar positions.
