How do you dress for a personal trainer interview?

This may seem like a silly question, but I'm switching careers from Marketing and am a little unsure. In the business world, you do not ever interview in anything other than a suit. That doesn't seem right for a gym, I'd appreciate any advice.

Dress for Success
by: Harry

When you deal with the public (at the gym) - you're a personal trainer and should dress the part, However, when you are interviewing, you are dealing with the business world and the owner/manager. So dress nicely - business attire. You'll have plenty of time to "show your stuff" soon enough and your credentials will also speak for you. You can NEVER go wrong dressing for business. Even if it turns out not to be necessary, it will be appreciated and you will be remembered in a positive light - especially if the other applicants dress casually! Good luck!

combined interview
by: Anonymous

I had the same dilemma the first time I went for an interview as a personal trainer. They wanted to combine my interview with an "audition" class (I was also applying to teach a body sculpting class), so of course I ended up wearing workout wear. I got the job!
