In 2023, Show Up Fitness CPT and Life Time Fitness entered a partnership. The exclusive partnership included SUF-CPT being the preferred certification for hire and guaranteed at least one interview (no personal training certification can say this.) Additionally, Show Up Fitness would travel to Life Time gyms offering 2-day hands-on learning seminars teaching soft tissue mobilization techniques to help clients get out of pain. As of 2025, there are over 177-Life Time Gyms and Show Up Fitness has dedicated the last 18 months to help hundreds of trainers get hired.

HOW TO GET HIRED AT LIFE TIME FITNESS

  • Step 1: Get Certified. SUF-CPT is the preferred certification, but they accept any nationally recognized certifications similar to SUF-CPT, including NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA, and ACSM.
  • Step 2: Complete the Resume and submit it online. One-page resume only. IF YOU HAVE YOUR SUF-CPT, contact Chris so he can expedite the hiring process by getting you in contact with the respected regional recruiter (Note: 99% of SUF-CPTs get hired this way.)
  • Step 3: Phone Interview. Be prepared to answer questions about Life Time, their credo, Strengths and Weaknesses, and your WHY. Be prepared, confident, and make sure to smile when you are on the phone!
  • Step 4: In-Person Interview #1. You’ll meet with a manager to review your Strengths and weaknesses, why they should hire you, what separates you from the other candidates, your training style, and unique training scenarios. READ THE BOOK HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL PERSONAL TRAINER VOL. 2 FOR A THOROUGH REVIEW.

  • Step 5: In-Person #2 Practical Role Play. You will receive a hypothetical scenario (see below). SUF-CPT’s are prepared to answer these during the final test, this is the EASIEST part for new hires and why SUF-CPT’s are usually hired on the spot. DO NOT SPEND MORE THAN 5 MINUTES DESIGNING A WORKOUT.

  • Step 6: HIRED or NOT. If you do not get hired, that specific location may not need another YOU at that gym. Don’t get frustrated, just apply to another Life Time or Equinox in the area. It usually takes 14+ days from the initial resume submission to get your ACCEPTANCE LETTER IF YOU follow exactly what we say.
