I applied through other source. I interviewed at Life Time (Plainsboro, NJ) in Jun 2023
Interview
It was the worst interview experience I've ever had. The interviewer showed up late and forgot what role I was interviewing for. Whole thing took 5 minutes. I waited for her longer than the "entire interview." At the end of "the interview", was told to come back to teach for a few minutes on another date. This should have been done at the first interview instead of wasting my time. Following that, she told me I will hear back from her in a week. A week later, I get an email saying they aren't hiring at this time and will keep me in mind for future class openings. The kicker was that I never applied for a job officially. She reached out to me and asked me to come in because they didn't something.
Interview process was more extensive than other fitness jobs I’ve applied for in the past. You come visit the club, interview with studio lead and then lead general. Interview process was lovely, super welcoming and thorough to ensure you will be a good fit.

Question 1
Make sure you familiarize yourself with Life Time’s mission statement
Kind of a long process, but good overall. Each person kept me up to date and asked me how I was feeling about the process. I had to complete a total of 3 auditions.

Interview
Very lengthy waiting game. I applied, never heard back. Then a former client of mine referred me to gym management and I immediately started the interview process. It's very much "hurry up and wait." I had an in person interview, then took a few classes to get a feel for their programming and "brand." Then I taught a demo class and got great feedback from the head trainers. Awkward part of teaching a demo class is that there are other candidates applying for the same job in that class, and the hiring team encourages you to stick around to take the other candidates' demo classes. I was under the impression there weren't many candidates applying for the same open position because up until the demo class, it felt very personalized. I was the one constantly following up about next steps, it seemed disorganized from management. I received a verbal "we want to hire you" and what I was told was a final interview with one more staff member. They rescheduled and cancelled my final interview twice. I asked why and they said it was because they had some tenured staff who wanted to take on more classes, so they no longer had availability for me. It wasn't an official "no"...feels like are basically keeping me on the back burner.
