Job description

We are advertising this role as a Personal Trainer position because many of the core skills we are looking for—leadership, motivation, group energy management, and physical activity facilitation—are commonly found in experienced trainers.

However, the role itself is not a traditional gym-based personal training job.

Instead, this position is for an Adventure Leader who guides outdoor experiences such as hiking, camping, and nature-based group activities. Personal trainers often excel in these environments because they are already skilled at motivating groups, managing physical activity safely, and creating engaging experiences.

If you love the outdoors and enjoy leading people through physical, energizing activities, this role may be a perfect fit for you.

Are You Someone Who…

• Loves traveling, hiking, camping, and outdoor exploration?
• Enjoys motivating and guiding people through physical activities?
• Is available on weekends and holidays?
• Feels comfortable leading and managing groups?

If so, we would love to hear from you.
