Interviewed Aug 2010 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Easy, and very laid-back. They want to know your experience working in customer service. Also, be able to explain any previous experience you have had in sales, working in a gym, tanning, and retail operations. These are all things that you will do at the front desk. If you are not personable, do not take this job.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 weeks)
Went in on a personal training open house and did first interview. It went well. Interviewer said he would call me next week to set up a second interview. On the second interview I was offered the job, after a skills assessment. I negotiated the wage to a suitable level and then went on a third interview the next week with the Regional Manager to confirm that I would be getting the wage that I requested.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took a day)
This was a joke, really. I interviewed before the gym was open, and was hired on the spot for sales wark, even though I had vast experience as a trainer. The manager mislead me as to when the gym would be open (by a full 6mo), and also embelished the amount of money that could be made.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
This was the shortest interview I've ever had, but the interviewer (the company's director) did ask me a list of (what I thought were) pretty basic questions regarding fitness/training concepts. Work culture: as a trainer, you're on the bottom of the company totem pole - be prepared to get blamed for things that you have no control over. However, if you're new to the personal training business, it's worth accepting a position here just to go through the week+long training program they put you through before you start at an actual gym. You'll learn a lot even if you don't stay with the company for a long time after.

Negotiation Details
Zero negotiations. Your hourly rate is based on if you've got a college degree and how many certifications you have. One of my co-workers supposedly made a dollar more per hour b/c he had a double major in college, but frankly he turned out to be extremely unreliable in both word and action and he may not have been telling the truth on that.
