    Hi Debra,

    Thanks for visiting our blog. We don’t have any generic questions for a fitness coordinator. While we in HR often wish for a copy and paste solution, unfortunately they often work so well.

    I advise that you start with your job description and posting. It is worthwhile to get on paper not just the typical responsibilities of any fitness coordinator but the ones for your specific position. Get input from managers on specific requirements and responsibilities. From there, prioritize the responsibilities and then develop your behavioral questions based on key competencies (KSA’s identified for an ideal candidate/key performer).

    Hope this helps, let us know if you have any questions or would like help as we offer consulting services for hiring from start to finish.

    Mike
