I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Planet Fitness (Kitchener, ON) in Jul 2020
Interview
The interview process was fairly easy, however, the district manager cold called me at 7am for an interview. Not the most convenient timing for an interview, but after that it was a relatively smooth process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did you think you would be qualified to be a general manager when your only experience is as an assistant manager?
I interviewed at Planet Fitness (West Palm Beach, FL)
Interview
Super unprofessional. Left me waiting for 1hr after scheduled time. The actual interview it self was pretty good until they explained their planning on leaving the company. Honestly I’d give them another shot I think it was a case of wrong people in leadership.
I went through three to four interviews. Everyone was very engaging, but the pay is on the lower end of the scale. Cleanliness and member engagement is high on the priority list.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Planet Fitness (Clearwater, FL) in May 2024
Interview
Online zoom call process with upper management. Multiple questions and multiple interviewers. Went well and enjoyed the respect and information provided. One round of interviews after informing them I was interested in the position. I was already employed by Planet Fitness in a lower position.
