Personal Trainer Interview Tomorrow!

[blakemoulton]

I've been working out for about 2 years now, and I've been offered an interview at the local gym I go to for a personal trainer position!

The problem is, I'm extremely nervous for the interview tomorrow. I was told I have an interview tomorrow and a 4 day course to get certified over the weekend, so they don't expect me to know everything. Any ideas what kind of questions theyre going to ask and how to be prepared?

An interview followed by a 4 day course and you'd be a PT?

Consider my jimmies rustled.

I would expect them not to ask you anything useful as your gym must be terrible. They will probably hire you as long as you say that you love working out and are a very hard worker.

I think the front desk receptionist at my gym went through more PT training than you will. I am with pete on this one. From what it sounds like they will ask you if you would like a job and can you reliably get there. Not to be a dick man, but I would tell them that although you will be doing some PT, that you would pursue a REAL certification in the near future.

Thats actually scary...
I sincerely hope you do not cause any real damage to anyone.

Im hoping the 4 day course is a gym specific course and not a "cert substitute" course?? Plz say yes.

Please just ignore all the negativity on here. I wish you all the best. I know that you will continue to progress in your field by getting more advanced certifications...
