I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Life Time (Raleigh, NC) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview was a four-step process.
1. Phone screening just to chat about your previous experience and the job in general
2. A tour of the club from the PT manager along with the ability to ask any and all questions you have. Also a few basic questions about you and why you want to work at lifetime/ where you see yourself in 5ish years (be ready to answer that at all steps of the interview process)
3. A practical interview where you chat with a senior PT about your background as well as have the opportunity to ask questions. Then it's out on the floor to take them through a mock warm up and work out. This is where they are assessing your personality and your eye for seeing and correcting form when needed.
4. A virtual interview with the GM. Basic interview questions here about you and your background, situation-based questions, and the ability to ask them any questions as well.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Life Time (Dallas, TX) in Nov 2025
Interview
Pretty direct. Practical questions and historical experience and how it would contribute to LifeTime. It was also more like a conversation rather than an interview. A very kind but direct conversation
Pretty straightforward interview process, first a get to know you interview and then a practical leading my future manager through a workout based on different goals and complications they presented.
