I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Equinox (Highland Park, TX) in Jun 2016
Interview
Series of 4 interviews for the Dallas/Highland Park store. I was in a group of 10 candidates and made it to the 4th interview before being told I wasn't a good fit for them. I am under the impression that I didn't have enough background experience with personal training before. I was well dressed and well-spoken and honestly thought I was a 'shoe-in'. They did a good job of not letting me know how they truly felt.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your Strengths/Weaknesses and what is your sales background like?
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.
