I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at LA Fitness (Aspen Hill, MD)
Interview
Hiring process really started out with lots of questions about knowledge of fitness. After questions were satisfied, a sample group exercise class was evaluated. Interviewer just asked questions and performed practicum. No drug screening was done.
Once you have submitted an application, you should receive a call for a phone interview or an in person audition within approximately one week - give or take. Two things are important - ability and availability. You need to have solid availability to take on two to three permanent classes. You will not be considered just for class coverage or subbing.
