I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Retro Fitness (North Haven, CT) in Feb 2016
Interview
Long. Met with the Fitness manager first and then had to meet with him again to "train" him. Then eventually met with the owners. The fitness manager at the time was very easy to talk to and made the interview process easy. The owners were tougher and made me feel less confident about having the job.

Where do you see yourself in a year? Would you want to be a fitness manager?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Retro Fitness (Florham Park, NJ) in May 2021
Interview
Very easy. Owner was very engaging. Was very kind and asked pertinent questions. The interview process took about 2 weeks. Very good communication. Smooth process with very little time between interview and offer.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Retro Fitness (West Bay Shore, NY) in Mar 2020
Interview
The interview was very casual. They seemed to be eager to higher new trainers. If you have a certification already, you'll be a sure-fire shot. Some of their trainers weren't even certified yet.
