I applied in-person. I interviewed at Fitness Connection (Arlington, TX) in Nov 2015
Interview
It was a 1v1 personal experience. They ask you a series of questions, put you in situations and ask how would you handle it, experience, etc. I didn't have to dress up or anything of that sort, it was very easy and honestly i think too easy. I felt as if anybody could land that job.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fitness Connection (Houston, TX) in Mar 2015
Interview
as long as you had a personal training certification you pretty much are guaranteed a job. prior experience isn't necessary but it does help secure a position. Interview was short, maybe 30 minutes.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fitness Connection (Greenville, NC) in Aug 2014
Interview
It was very unprofessional. The atmosphere was weird. We sat at a table in the open as guests were walking by. Very distracting environment to be in. Not a good experience.
