Make sure your tapes are cued and you have a clear idea of what patterns and exercise styles you will demonstrate. It looks unprofessional when an instructor is fumbling to remember patterns. If choreography is not your strength, keep your moves simple. Don't attempt to present anything in your audition that you wouldn't feel comfortable teaching in a class environment. Meyer looks for applicants who are passionate about their work.
Attitude is also important.
But you can't train someone to have a positive, energetic, outgoing, customer service-oriented attitude. In an industry that is constantly changing, McNeney values flexible and adaptable employees. If you want to expand your horizons in the fitness profession, look beyond your expertise as a personal trainer or group exercise instructor. Don't dismiss the importance of honing computer, writing, management and communication skills. Although McNeney observes a high quality of professionalism among instructors and trainers, Meyer would prefer fitness employees to be more business-minded.
