I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Equinox (Glendale, CA) in Jul 2019
Interview
It's a very hands on process, which can be intimidating for a beginner. However, I think your ability to learn and grow within the club, is completely dependent on the staff that is hiring you. They have a good learning process, so you don't have to know all the right answers. They're more interested in finding people with high energy, motivation, and passion. So if you can show that through the process, you are putting yourself in a great position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Situational questions about members, a few questions about exercise selection, previous history, etc.
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.

I applied online. I interviewed at Equinox (Greenwich, CT)
Interview
I had a very positive phone interview experience with Equinox. The interviewer was professional, welcoming, and respectful of my time. They asked clear, thoughtful questions about my background and gave a great overview of the role, team expectations, and the company culture. The conversation felt organized and informative, and I appreciated how transparent they were about next steps in the process. Overall, it was a smooth and pleasant interview experience that reflected well on the company.
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.
