I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Crunch Fitness (Baltimore, MD) in Jan 2019
Interview
Not professional the person would not give me their name. I was referred by someone I used to work with to this company. I was actually pretty excited the first person that emailed me was very professional and asked for my Resume, and Salary requirements and gave their name, I sent them my info through linkedin. After that I believe he passed my info along to this person whom I still do not know their name. To make a long story short they sent an email about positions they had available that I did not apply for and was overqualified for. I only applied for the GM position. Then proceeded to ask me if I had any experience the tone was coinciding as if I was applying for management but did not have the experience. I let the person know about my background and also asked should I send over an extra copy of my cover letter and resume. They asked me if I was interested in applying for a Management position or they had sales position. Again I reiterated I was interested in Management then they asked when we could set up an interview. I let this person know I was open to an interview and asked them another question. I also asked for their name so I could properly address them as well. Literally no answer, they never set up an interview. The next email I got was they hired someone with Gym General Management experience. Since my experience was not not Gym Management experience. It was other Management experience. Then gave me the name of the person they hired for the position I applied for and told me they still had an AM position available and if the new GM was interested, he would give me a call. I basically let them know, I would not be interested in a position with this company. I am used to a more professional contact method of openness where they give me their name a contact email or phone number. They answer questions, when they say they want an interview they schedule it and if interested, it maybe three more interviews but there is a process and I actually talk to a person. I don't know what this was.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I see you worked at a supplement store. Do you have any Gym General Management experience.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Crunch Fitness (Plano, TX) in May 2024
Interview
I applied to Crunch Fitness for a General Manager or District Manager role and was initially excited to be contacted and brought in to discuss these positions. During the interview, I was impressed by the facilities and the potential role—but was ultimately blindsided when told the roles I applied for weren’t actually open. Instead, they offered me a starting position as a Front Desk employee at $12 an hour. It was incredibly frustrating and felt insulting, especially given my experience and the level of roles initially discussed. I kept things professional, but the process left me feeling misled and undervalued.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Crunch Fitness (Waterford, MI) in Feb 2023
Interview
Different approach than I am normally used to. It did not seem too structured. I was able to ask questions, but would have appreciated time to ask more. Had one zoom call as a screen and then met with COO and Sr. GM as a second round interview

Question 1
"Knowing that your (my) passion was in fitness, would I be okay with that passion taking a back seat to the day to day management responsibilities?"
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Crunch Fitness (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2022
Interview
I submitted an application submitted online, received and email asking me to go to any gym location for a 'fist bump' interview (seems like discriminatory hiring practice). Then I had a phone call the interviewer who suggested I would have an additional in person interview at the gym I applied to work. I knew it was going to be bad when the interviewer clearly has not read my resume as he asked questions off of a list like he was hiring for a shift manager position at McDonald's. I knew it was going to be a bad fit when I asked him how they would manage my performance. He stumbled over a description of an antiquated sales volume based model that doesn't really account for local population needs and changing demographics (e.g., a new grocery store opened up next door which should be increasing membership sales if the management knew how to think creatively). I knew I was overqualified for HIS role when I pointed out a flaw in their check in process that could contribute to increased customer churn. I observed the front desk attendants frequently allow people in with cancelled membership tags which means you have a lot of people in the gym not paying. Anyway, Crunch should probably fire this person and clean up operations and they could have a real cash cow on their hands or they can continue business as usual.

Question 1
Do you have sales experience, why Crunch, tell me about yourself.
