I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LA Fitness in Aug 2021
Interview
Interview process was horrible
I was dressed in business clothing and they wanted me to do a 15 minute mock session on of the other employees. When I asked for a few minutes to write down the exercises I will do it was problem.
As a personal trainer you are supposed to prepare for your sessions for your clients beforehand. You’re not supposed to spring it off the top of your head
Anyways, I got offered the job but declined because the pay is insulting to my level of knowledge
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.
