All interviews are "group interviews," which are only offered at one specific time usually on a Wednesday or Thursday morning (7AM) either at their local store or Starbucks. If you can't make it, then you're immediately no longer considered as a potential candidate until the next round of interviews.
Interview questions were not your typical questions as they would ask about your favorite ways to sweat, guilty pleasure, mistakes you've made, etc. It was more to get to know your personality to see if you would fit into their clique. Honestly, I didn't find the interview to be very difficult; however, I think it would have been difficult for someone to be hired on if they already weren't attending boutique studio fitness classes (e.g., OTF, Cyclebar, etc.) since that is where all of the staff seem to workout at. I had also heard from someone that they sort of already know who they will hire through employee referrals (from boutique fitness studios, usually), but will always extend a group interview out to external candidates due to fair hiring practices and corporate policy. I would apply to different stores in the area to maximize your chances of being hired. They usually only hire 1 educator out of 8-13 candidates in those group interviews, so the chances are slim and competitive at best. It might be a waste of your time unless you obsessively workout at these studios or actively involved in their fitness community. Having an interest in working out and wellness will simply not cut it for them.
After the group interview, they say that they will notify you the next week or earlier to see if you have been approved or denied for employment. At my group interview, I don't think anyone out of my group had been hired since none of us were deemed good culture fits in their eyes. I followed up and noticed that they had re-posted the position online, so I think culture fit appears to be important for them in their hiring process. They clearly are not just looking for "bodies" to fill their positions. I remember one of the girls in my group asking about the discount, and the person interviewing seemed very turned off by that, so I would not ask about benefits or anything in these interviews.
After a week, I emailed and called twice since I had heard nothing for a follow-up since the group interview. I was only given answers by an educator (I assume) with an attitude claiming that the person in charge of hiring would "get back to me later," but I never received a follow-up. In retrospect, I don't think I would interview here again given that I took an hour out of my day and was given no "feedback" when I could have applied for other part-time positions. This is clearly disrespectful for candidates often taking PTO or time out of their day to attend these group
interviews.
