Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Chanhassen, MN Jan 2009 – Reviewed Mar 4, 2011
Interview Details – I actually interviewed in Dec of 2007 (it wasn't an option on the drop down). I had a phone interview with the recruiter who asked background questions. I then came in to meet face-to-face with the team I'd be working with. They asked a series of behavioral based questions. I came back two more times to meet with three more people - 2 VPs and 1 Sr. Director. I received an offer in early Jan and started 2.5 weeks later.

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Warrenville, IL Jun 2009 – Reviewed Mar 15, 2010
Interview Details – I applied at the Gym location in Warrenville, Illinois for a membership coordinator. They called me promptly the next day and arranged a interview with the Gym manager. We went through he typical interview and he offered to give me a tour of the gym. I told him I had already been a member there for a while. He gave me a pass even through I already had a membership at the gym which made me realize that this job didn't have competent management. We then went back into the office and talked about compensation he told me it was on dependent on how many members I can get to continue to work out there. He said that you have maintain a quota of members that continue to work out there. Signing them up isn't enough they have to purchase plans. Knowing how the work out community is most people join in the spring and work out for a few months and quit. So the job wasn;t for me.

Kids Activities Team Member at Life Time Fitness
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Jan 8, 2013
Interview Details – I applied and received a call for an interview in less than a week. I went in on a Thursday at noon and met with the General Manager of the club. He basically asked me about my personal life and education. He said he wanted me to email him by 7 pm that evening if I was interrested. I emailed him around 4 pm and said I was interested. I did not hear back from him. I finally called him on Monday and asked if he had received my email. He apologized and said he was 3 days behind in emails. Asked me to come in on Friday for second interview. I came in and met with the Front Desk/Assistant Manager. She asked me the same questions. Told me I was hired, but needed to complete a background check. Once that comes in, I could start. So, I ordered my uniforms and waited. Almost 2 weeks later, background check was done. But I had to wait 4 more days for my Team member Number. Finally started about 3 weeks later.
