This video, along with a few of Staci’s other videos, helped me get an amazing personal training position at a corporate campus facility! Thank you so much Staci!
Andelica wow I cannot thank you enough for sharing and I'm so happy my videos have helped you succeed in landing a position! It truly means the world to me. Best of luck and I hope my videos continue to help.
@@StaciAlden Thank YOU! They told me I am one of the best interviewees they’ve had in the last two years. Again, thank YOU because I followed all your steps! They were really impressed with the typed out workout plan for my audition. Keep it up! Look forward to learning more from you through your videos 😊
It's always a great idea to mimic the uniforms of the staff or managers. It shows you are already part of the team
Evel you are so right! Thank you for commenting. Are there any questions regarding Group Fitness or Fitness Management I can help answer?
- Staci
It will be really great and appreciated to get to know you and possibly network with you because Fitness industry is definitely where I can learn alot from you personally... Thanks again 🙏
You seem like you care, great job. The best advice I can give is to just be yourself in an interview. Most of the time when an interview is happening, my thoughts are distorted. We need change.
Great advice Staci
I'm so happy you enjoyed this video, are there any other questions you have about group fitness for future videos that I can help you with!?
Hey can I just say that you are so super helpful!! I really appreciated this! I’m watching this to prep for my interview later this afternoon for group fitness! I don’t know why you don’t have more subscribers! You deserve it!
Wow thank you Jeremy! That means a lot!
Thanks for the information 😊
Thank you Raja for watching and for commenting. Are there any other Group Fitness teaching or management questions I can help you with!?
- Staci
@@StaciAlden I just want to know are you doing fitness trainer job at that time & Where?
Love your video so much... . Thanks for the wisdom.... Your special...🤗
Thank you so much Sam! Please let me know if you have any questions about Group Fitness I can help you with!
@@StaciAlden absolutely... I was wondering.. is a cert needed to conduct group fitness virtual.... And how can one market that?
@@maximo5737 Great question! You don't need a specific certification to teach online. It would be wise to get a primary Group Fitness or Personal Training Certification from an NCCA accredited company. My two favorites are American Council on Exercise (www.acefitness.org) or NASM National Academy of Sports Medicine (www.nasm.org). Also getting liability insurance that covers you online. IDEA Health and Fitness has this for $100 per year: www.ideafit.com. I hope this helps! I'll do all things online fitness soon.
@@maximo5737 Also as for advertising that, once you get certified by these companies you can advertise on their site!
@@StaciAlden wow..🤯🤯🤯 really... And how long would they have you on there site for.. also... I focus more on program writing for body builder, nutrition and work out... A cert is not required for this yi
Dear Staci! Thanks a lot your advice! I'll let you know whats happened after my interview. Your Sincerely, Peter
Hi Peter, Thank you for commenting! I hope you're interview went well! Are there any other questions I can answer for you?
- Staci
Thank you for such a helpful content. Loving your channel in general. In this topic of interview, do you think is OK to ask about remuneration? I'm always uncomfortable to ask about that and give the wrong impression to the manager, but I think is a important information to know how the gym value their employees. What do you think?
Hi Rafaela! Thank you for the great feedback and question. I definitely think it is okay and important to ask about remuneration/compensation! A great way to phrase it is “May I ask how your pay scale is determined?” And if they need to see you audition before giving you an exact number, feel free to ask what the lowest they pay an instructor is and how they determine if an instructor deserves an increase and how often that happens. I appreciate the way the question is phrased rather than “How much will I get paid?” - so many factors go into that for me as an instructor works with the team and shows their hard work consistency and dedication. I hope this helps!
Hi Staci thank you so much for sharing with all of us🙏❤️... I am not yet a qualified fitness instructor, but currently busy studying towards becoming one. I would like to know if you, for instance asked to go teach and at the nearest gym, will I be expected to provide my own music as a Group fitness instructor?
Hello! I'm so happy you enjoyed this video. In most cases you will be asked to provide your own music as an instructor, there are a lot of places you can get music beyond spotify and apple music. There are companies like YES!music and Muscle Music and FitRadio that provide music at a very low cost and are unlicensed meaning they aren't the original artist which can be something a gym requests. I hope this helps!
Thank you foe sharing. Do you have any additional videos, as performing a demo workout.
Hellow i shaw you the work out for beginer,,
I'm so happy you enjoyed this video, I have some SHRED workout videos, what are some class formats you'd like to see demonstrations of!?
Excellent! Would you like to see more workout videos for beginners?
Hi, I wana start a fitness club in few months to come...how do i get a perfect manager?
Hi.. from whr you will strat ur fitness club....
Always look for someone with the same philosophy as you. Everything else is common sense, positive energy, management experience, etc.
Hello Tshepo, I hope you and your club are doing okay with all that is happening right now. Please let me know how I can help.
Does admitting a weakness and saying you need to work on it a turn off? I said my weakness is sales and that I want to work on it
Saiyan Lifestyle being honest should not be a turn off! That is a sign of character for me as a manager.
@@StaciAlden also, she said she would call me back by Tuesday and never did. And so I keep going back in my mind thinking of anything I may have done wrong. Because I really want this job.
I’m sorry to hear they haven’t gotten back to you. I’d recommend reaching out to her thanking her for her time and ask if there is anything else she needs to help her make her decision. This will hopefully spark a response so you aren’t left hanging.
@@StaciAlden did that
@@saiyanlifestyle3707 you likely didn't get the job for one or both of 2 reasons: your qualifications and experience are minimal and\or you're in poor physical condition. Instead of watching videos on 6 packs being overrated, get one.
I applied for Member Services and have an interview on Thursday (Dec 12th). Does weight matter when trying to get hired? The thing is I am over weight, but for the past month I have been on my own fitness journey and slowly losing weight. I just feel like they'll see me and assume I can't do the job 😔. Any advice?
Hello Jules, thank you for asking and sharing! That is such a great question. My advice would be to share your story of your weight loss journey whether they ask about it or not and emphasize that being part of a fitness environment will help you and help you connect with potential members. Legally they are not supposed to ask about your appearance, except to ask if there are any accommodations that need to be made so it may not be brought up, but if YOU confidently identify your own eagerness to improve your health is so valuable! I hope this helps and good luck!
@@StaciAlden Great advice, thank you so much!
@@StaciAlden I wanted to thank you again for the advice. I went to my interview this past Thurs and included my weightless journey. The manager said that she liked my personality and she would love to see me at Planet Fitness. She went ahead and moved me forward to have an interview this coming Tuesday with the regional manager 😮. Eeeek!!
Jules I am so happy to hear that and hope for an update after your next interview!
@@StaciAlden I had my second interview today and I don't think it went well. I think the guy said that in 2 weeks they'll start hiring people because the Planet Fitness here isn't built yet but they are constructing it at the moment. The first lady who interviewed me seemed like she did really like me, but I didn't get those vibes from the regional manager. I hope the lady puts in a good word for me when they're going through the people they are going to hire.
I have a job interview today at crunch do I wear gym wear or clothes clothes 😭😭😭
Hi JoeJoe good luck! If you’re not auditioning I would recommend wearing business casual clothes if you have them, but if not workout clothes aren’t the end of the world if you have full length pants and a jacket on - I hope this helps good luck!
@@StaciAlden thank you so much I’m getting interview I just don’t seem to have proper clothes for that except gym wear clothes so kind stressing me out.
What not to do in fitness interview... bounce leg nervously lol
That aside thanks for the help.
Stev O haha! Right? Way easier to just listen 🤦♀️ hoping it’s better in my other videos :)
@@StaciAlden hey you're doing people a favor for free! I make amateur exercise videos and it's so funny how as soon as you click that record but how much your body and mind changes
I have a 12 person group PT interview on Friday so came on to see if there was info on that, seems strange, i've done group stuff before, meditation seems to really win those over because everyone is so nervous so with the meditation you can stay calm and pick your moments, but might not be the case with PTs they might be loud and bravadoish lol, we see how it goes anyway! Thanks for the content
Nice to meet you. I am an athletic instructor in Korea.
Let's be friends. 👍99
Yes let's be friends! What are the questions you have that you'd like me to answer or help with!?
Staci, i really appreciated this video that you have created but your leg bouncing really distracted me :D
So true! Working on more to post, and I promise I'll keep that leg still ;)
She would be more nervous than the person she is interviewing, notice in the mirror she can't keep her foot still!
I noticed that too. I respect the fact that she is in the profession, but she's not comfortable with everything that's involved. I want to help people workout and eat healthy, but not if I have to be uncomfortable doing it. Its not healthy to be overthinking as much as she in.
@@keegancan there could be an underlying reason. She could have hyperactive tenancies, ADHD, she could take a prescription that makes her figgity, she could just naturally be figgity!! who knows what.. She works in a hyper, energetic career! Hyper behaviour is actually beneficial in this industry.
Someone can be fit to work despite habits rather than unfit because of it
Yo I was just saying that to myself lol. She did great with the video.
So...this is my cousin. I can't believe the messages I'm reading here,it's so ridiculous. Staci is beautiful, confident and extremely talented in her field.
FAILURE #1 of many - bringing required credentials does not reflect doing their research. Displaying required credentials proves they meet the minimum job requirements. Doing "research" means they investigated the gym's management history in attempts to progress the business model forward. Stop fidgeting under the table enough to shake your body above it. "Managers" don't ever have excuses. Employees practice to get it right. Managers are good enough at everything so they can not get it wrong.
How old you are
Firstly, stop all that nervous shaking and jitter. It makes you look either nervous or on drugs. Also, try actually working out and looking the part. If I saw you at the gym I would ask for more qualified assistance.
Abdel Leon Cooper thank you so much for the comment! I wish you the best in your Group Fitness instructing journey.
Can you chill you stupid fk no one gives fk about your opinion
@@mohamedsamy1882 fk you mehamed go make your wife wear a mask or something
You're bard from all gyms across the nation cause you never wear a t-shirt Abdel
But on a serious note learn how to express yourself properly, maybe you had a hard childhood but it won't get you anywhere insulting people like that my guy, you can say stuff like "Hey you're leg shaking put me off" no need to go full metal jacket.
Obviously you're here cause you want to learn yourself and become a PT, being angry won't help that, and muscles won't either, need to be able to relate and truly care for others not slag people lol, much love ma dude
@@callmeoutifimbeingatwat4650 you misspelled barred. Beside that, enjoy your half-ass trainers and their half-ass training. There are levels to this and you're probably a Planet Fitness flop with an outlook like that. Once you get serious about health and fitness you'll quickly realize just what an embarrassing video that is for an alleged qualified fitness expert to post publicly.
