I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Equinox (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I was interviewed by the fitness manager and the personal training manager. They asked me just a few questions but mainly focused on my experience and my availability. They mainly focused on what makes me stand out as a trainer. What do I do different and also why I chose to apply at Equinox in particular. They asked about my experience, how long I've been training, etc. They also asked about how much availability I had because in the beginning, you pretty much have to be there all day, every day.
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.

I applied online. I interviewed at Equinox (Greenwich, CT)
Interview
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.
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.
