I saw a job posted on the company website and tried to apply but the system was messed up.
From there I just called the club and spoke to the Fitness Manager. He asked me general questions. Why I wanted to be a trainer, what I was looking for in a position, etc.? I explained that I've already been a trainer for 5 years and know that it's mostly about selling yourself, and that the hours are a little sporadic.
He liked this and brought me in for a interview with the Club Manager. The process was the same they were impressed I knew how to sell and offered me a job contingent on training the Fitness Manager.
I took him through a 45 min workout. Explained all the different muscle groups I was going to work, outlined the sessions, took him through the workout, and stretched him afterwards. He really enjoyed the session.
I was offered the job on the spot and had to come in to fill out the background check info. Just got my employee ID number today.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretty stock. Don't think just because you know Ex Phys you will do well as a trainer. That was a big misunderstanding I had early on. That stuff can be taught and most people won't know what you're talking about anyway. Bring personality, and don't be afraid to ask for money. You have bills to pay.
I still haven't got the interview, but they told me that I have to be prepared with a exercise program, and before they asked me if I knew anything about sales.
I interviewed at 24 Hour Fitness (Huntington Beach, CA)
Interview
Hiring manager contacted me and set up an interview for 30 minutes and got hire and start the following week. But I end doing more sales then the actual training. There is sales qouta that you have to mee monthly. You make more on commission then training at least for me.
Simple, just ask where to go and front desk attendant brought me to their office. Average interview questions and discussion about sales. Seemed to dismiss some of the points I was making to discuss further matters
