I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Life Time (Beachwood, OH) in Mar 2013
Interview
Best to directly contact to the club you are interested in, rather than through the corporate website. Address your correspondence to the "Hiring Manger". Five step process. First is a telephone interview, then you are invited in to meet your manager, then the club manager, then back to meet your manager again and finally a conference call with corporate HR.
FYI... You may hear that 100% commission is uncapped and you can make as much as you want. Truth is, it is capped. You can see so many clients per day and even if you close every one, you are limited by the time it takes to close them. So if you physically only have time to close 5 a day, then that is your cap. FYI... 100% commission also means no unemployment if you are let go. You are basically a contractor.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None really unexpected or difficult. Typical; what did you do in a difficult situation or handle difficult customers? Who do you admire? What are your goals? The hardest part was coming to grips with the 50 hour work week and 100% commission.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Life Time in May 2015
Interview
First you meet with the sales manager, followed by the location general manger, before finally interviewing with the regional manager. many steps in the interview process, but it makes it feel that much better to get the job.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Life Time (Troy, MI)
Interview
Submitted application online, MEM (Member Engagement Manager) set up appointment to meet within a couple of days, met with her and it was pretty basic (they'll basically take anyone willing to cold call and work 70+ hours per week - even without sales experience). After that I interviewed with the GM of the club, same interview... Life Time is full of robots so they just read off of a sheet that corporate gives them and they rate whether or not you filled in all of their little boxes. Basically all you have to do (and they'll tell you this) is give them a specific incidence or example of whatever question they want answered, what happened, what you did, and what the outcome was. After that you'll meet with the Regional, same interview again... and you're done. All of this should take about a week or two. If you can pretend to be an aggressive drone you'll be fine. They actually tell their sales people to drill the person in front of them until they get pissed enough to walk away so get ready for that.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Life Time (Minneapolis, MN) in Jul 2014
Interview
Very lengthly and through. They want to make sure they are hiring people who can handle the hours and who can handle the work it takes to actually make money doing something like that. I interviewed with my manager, his manager, and also the regional manager.
