I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Life Time (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2011
Interview
The Dept Head met me with 2 assist. Asked some general questions, sales questions, anatomy and phys. questions then proceeded to 'sell' me the job. It was less about me and all about the great company LTF is. The interview with the GM was all about the company, how long they'd been there and how great it was.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If a team member is struggling to reach goal (there are monthly sales quotas), would you stay late on a shift day to help? How would you do it?
The position is fraudulently misrepresented. You are employed as a full time employer yet are paid on a draw system (loan) that must be payed back or you go in debt to the for future earnings. After your initial hiring and agreement to this very well disguised form of payment, you attend a week long training course. Its designed to make you believe in the company philosophy. What you quickly realize, is that you have wasted a month of your time to make near or below the poverty line. The Fitness Department employs 40 trainers at all time. You will get little to no help to obtain clients, while upper management gets all the warm leads. Within two months of working with Lifetime Fitness, I watched 10 trainers quit.

How can you explain how a trainer after six months, still lives pay check to paycheck?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Life Time (Tulsa, OK) in Feb 2012
Interview
Went through an extensive interview process. phone interview, in person with manager, and then in person with the general manager, very professional. They went through the normal interview process... where do you hope to be in 5 years, what are your goals for working with this company, etc. etc.
