I have an interview tomorrow for a personal trainer job. It's at a personal training studio, not a gym. Any trainers here have any advice, or pointers on what they'll be looking for? Any advice at all is much apreciated 8)

Yes, go in as an independent contractor and NOT an employee!
-
Just look the part. Shave your forearms and your retarded goatee. Throw on a fanny pack and go tanning tonite...tweeze the eyebrows and pump up before the interview.
You could get frosted highlights in the tips of you hair and tell them you like to help women with their 'core' and tell them your philosophy is 'pain is weakness leaving the body'.
Also...to show them you walk the line...come in with your Muscltech shaker cup you got at the latest expo and in the middle of the interview look at your watch and go..."Oh, my bad hold up...time for a shake...gotta keep the influx of nutrients comming in...."
If you are REAL...you'll come in with a cooler of food and ask him if he has a microwave anywhere to heat up your plain chicken and brown rice.
-
Find the core stability ball, and point to it, saying "That is good."
All you'll need.

hahaha oh, shit

You should probably try to lose 50 pounds and start wearing those shorts that display your nuts. Skin type stuff is very hip now a days at the Y.
-
Check with former clients of yours whether you can use them as a reference and take their phone numbers with you to the interview.
If (and only if) you have the impression that it is the right place and that things are going in the right direction, bring them into play.
-
get yourself a website to really show off your talents and what you have to offer clients.
;)

LoomZoom...
If your certifications are straight you should be fine, those will matter more than anything else. Be somewhat personable, and know your shit. Depending on the clientelle you'll be training, it might actually matter whether you are friendly or not.
Just be you......as long as you aren't an asshole.

depending on the type of client's, that quote is so true. So true.
-
Tell them that besides training you're also very experienced at cleaning toilets, vacuuming, filling soap dispensers, mopping up sweat, answering phones and folding towels.

If you follow blockhead's advice you should be fine.

It's just a job, he didn't say it would be his ultimate career goal.
Besides, if you get the right clients you can make alot on the side.

exacly, the same for anything. do that and you have a really good shot.

He'll even have a BETTER shot if he wears a pair of Otomix high-top shoes. if he is savvy enough since you're talking about getting the interviewer to take a liking to him by his personality...he should automatically tell him that he posts on getbig and tell him his screen handle and burst out laughing by saying..."...yea man but I hate the fucking Squad...don't you??? "
Then get ask the interviewer who he had..."Ronnie or Jay" then he should he should fold his arms and press them against his body to make them appear larger and glance down at them a couple of times.
If he nails it play by play like I outlined...he might be able to wear the 'Head Trainer' tag in no time. goodluck!

Tell them you're insured. Definitely private contractor route, employee trainers are extra broke.
And just remember:

Bigger Business need a bigger penis, evidently.
If the guy wants to do this, why are you crushing his hopes?
Are you so insecure with yourself that this is your only way of gaining satisfaction?

Kenneth,
Sidework can be any number of things. I'm not a professional bodybuilder so I don't know what those "things" are. I suppose it would depend on your morals and just how desperate you are for money. For some it could be fucking clients on DL, while others might want a AAS hookup. Trainers are known to do some crazy shit.
