Interview for a position in a gym...what to wear?

I have an interview for a part-time, front desk position at an upscale fitness center.  I worked for years in corporate positions, so I've never dressed for an interview in anything other than a black or navy suit.  My husband thinks that a suit would be inappropriate for this kind of position.  My gut tells me to err on the conservative side, but since I'm new to this field I'm wondering if he's right.  Any thoughts?

Re: Interview for a position in a gym...what to wear?

  • I would wear the suit. You want to make a good first impression. If you get the job they will tell you the dress code for work.
  • I'd wear the suit, but dress it down a bit.  Either wear a bright shirt underneath, or fun shoes/purse/etc.  I wouldn't do a black suit with white blouse and black heels and pearls, for example.

  • if I were interviewing for that position I'd go in nice dress slacks and  conservative top.  A casual  yet tasteful look.
  • I would go with the suit. I would rather be a bit over dressed than under.

    I agree with this.  I'd rather be overdressed than look unprofessional for an interview.  Good luck!
