No Offer – Interviewed in Northridge, CA Jul 2011 – Reviewed Oct 30, 2012
Interview Details – I was interviewed by 5 different managers at the time of hire. Additionally I was the one that had to communicate interest, this means that I had to call each and every time to set an interview time/date. Also I was asked to come back to the gym multiple times do to scheduling errors on the part 24 Hour Fitness so that I actually had to go the gym on five separate occasions over a five week period. I was put off by the general manager as he came across as pompous and proud of the hoops that I had to go through to be hired as a trainer. However the best interview was conducted by the Fitness Manager who asked thorough questions and determined if I would be a good addition to the gym structure.
Interview Question – You see an employee go to the drinks and take a drink what do you do? The gym is set up that a person can pay prior to selecting the drink and when I asked for clarification I was told to always assume that the person did not pay. View Answer

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Foothill Ranch, CA Jul 2011 – Reviewed Aug 8, 2011
Interview Details – Applied for the job online. I went in to the 24 hour fitness about a week later and met the manager. We set up an interview there for a week later. It was a 1 on 1 interview and she just asked me the standard questions out of the 24 hour interview guide. It was a very relaxed interview but the manager was very unprofessional and was dressed in jeans and a sports jacket. I played college sports in college and the manager did not seem to care or think that would make me a good candidate to work at a gym, the manager only cared about my past work experience and said there was no room for advancement.
Interview Question – Name one time you went above and beyond the customers expectations? Answer Question
