I applied online. I interviewed at LA Fitness (Dallas, TX) in Nov 2018
Interview
It was the most awkward experience of my life and it was obvious that he was a used car salesman from the start. Absolutely horrible. I knew the company was trying to cheat people with personal training rates but it doesn't stop there. It's no wonder the turn over is so high. Was offered a job and turned it down. Dodged a bullet.

Question 1
He spoke so fast it was impossible to know. It was clear he didn't care what/how I answered, either. I could have said to put your feet together for a wide squat and he would have asked me when I could start.
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.

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.
