I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Equinox (Bethesda, MD) in Aug 2015
Interview
I had a phone interview and an in person interview. The phone interview went very well, so he asked me to come in for the in person interview. We sat in the head personal trainer's office where he asked me several questions, about my experience, about myself as a person, my training philosophy, etc. He was very friendly and open, and I immediately felt comfortable talking with him. After the interview he took me on a tour of the facility.
Virtual and in-person interviews; virtual interview was not too bad it was a recorded interview with situational questions and multiple choice while the in-person interview was mostly a vibe check and seeing how you would take on new clients.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One thing they asked about was how you deal with difficult clients?
Super easy, had a round with a recruiter and then met with the manager. They were very transparent about pay and work required. I see a lot of negative reviews about pay, but at least from my experience the whole pay scale was clearly communicated and lined out.

I had a very positive phone interview experience with Equinox. The interviewer was professional, welcoming, and respectful of my time. They asked clear, thoughtful questions about my background and gave a great overview of the role, team expectations, and the company culture. The conversation felt organized and informative, and I appreciated how transparent they were about next steps in the process. Overall, it was a smooth and pleasant interview experience that reflected well on the company.
