Met with Fitness Director and Head Trainer, along with one other interviewee in person. We did a brief "communication" test that lasted all of 30 seconds, then were assigned a case study to write a training program for, before explaining our choices to the FD and HT. Head trainer said 1, maximum 2 words. Both acted like they had MUCH better things to be doing. All-in-all, took maybe 15 minutes and was a really pathetic look at the mood of the Eqx fitness staff.
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.

J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Equinox (Greenwich, CT)
Entretien
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.
