I have had hundreds of similar questions from new Instructors and wrote a few articles you may find helpful.

This article includes a number of the other good tips offered here – and a few not mentioned.

This is specific to auditioning for Life Time Fitness – but applies pretty much anywhere.

Hello Maria Hendren,

I like to go to the area gyms in person and meet with the staff.
I dress in layers with my workout wear underneath for the audition. I also am myself; it will be too hard to keep up a certain facade forever.
Good luck to you.
Take care,
Natalie

Just an interviewing tip… look the part. Come in wearing a cycle jersey and shorts, clipless shoes (for whatever the bikes they have support), and ready to give a demo ride as part of your audition. My GM friend says she laughs every time someone shows up in business casual for a fitness position interview when they know a class demo/audition is required.

Thank you both so much. Is it appropriate to call first to see if there are any job openings?

Harris’s response is great, lots of good contacts. When I was in the business of hiring instructors and trainers, I was always most impressed when an interested instructor would make an appointment to meet with me, then show up, on time, ready to demonstrate his/her skills in working with potential students and/or clients.

Good luck.
