I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Equinox (San Francisco, CA) in May 2014
Interview
First met with a recruiter which showed me around the gym and informed me on the company. Next interview I first met with the fitness manager where they asked me my background, experience, etc. Then I did a practical on one of the trainers there going through a mock client assessment/workout. Next met with General manager and answered more character type questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are 3 strong suits that you will carry into work daily?
Virtual and in-person interviews; virtual interview was not too bad it was a recorded interview with situational questions and multiple choice while the in-person interview was mostly a vibe check and seeing how you would take on new clients.

Question 1
One thing they asked about was how you deal with difficult clients?
Super easy, had a round with a recruiter and then met with the manager. They were very transparent about pay and work required. I see a lot of negative reviews about pay, but at least from my experience the whole pay scale was clearly communicated and lined out.

I had a very positive phone interview experience with Equinox. The interviewer was professional, welcoming, and respectful of my time. They asked clear, thoughtful questions about my background and gave a great overview of the role, team expectations, and the company culture. The conversation felt organized and informative, and I appreciated how transparent they were about next steps in the process. Overall, it was a smooth and pleasant interview experience that reflected well on the company.
