How to NAIL Your Personal Training Interview | Have the ANSWERS to these topics!

Getting hired as a personal trainer can sometimes be as hard as sitting for the certification exam. Walking in for your first interview can be nervy and include hands-on components that you’ve never had to do before for other job openings. In this video, ‪@TylerValenciaFitness‬, Ph.D.(c), gives insight into real questions that can come up during a personal trainer interview and how to answer them to get the job. To develop this video, Tyler reached out to real past and present fitness managers and asked them to provide examples of what they ask when interviewing a new personal training candidate.

A critical outlook when sitting during a personal trainer interview is a willingness to learn. Not all gyms are set up the same, and being willing to learn a new protocol and fit into the new gym culture can be important qualities that the fitness manager is looking for. When it comes to experience, this can be a tricky topic, as if you just passed your personal training certification, and you may need to gain experience. On the flip side, this may work in your favor if the manager is looking to hire someone who wants to coach up a fresh new personal trainer who is willing to learn.

A tricky question that might be asked during your interview is how you would program for an imaginary personal training client. During this process, the manager is trying to assess your ability to think on your feet and see how you would approach different training populations. Coming prepared and researching a couple of scenarios can help you ace this part of the interview and ensure that this fictitious program runs as smoothly as when you have real clients standing in front of you.
