Job description

BFT Coach with a pathway to Studio Leader

• Coach with purpose. Lead with impact.
• A real pathway into studio leadership.
• Help shape the future of BFT Cheltenham.

Lead, coach and grow your career in a thriving BFT community. Help shape an exceptional member experience while developing as a leader.

We don't just coach workouts. At BFT Cheltenham, we know fitness has the power to change lives. And we help make that happen through consistency, accountability and community.

We're searching for a leader who lives that belief every day. Someone who leads from the front, embraces the BFT lifestyle, inspires those around them, and understands that every interaction is an opportunity to positively impact someone's day.

Our mission is simple.

Create the best hour of our members' day. Every. Single. Day.

That doesn't happen by accident.

It happens because of people who genuinely care.

People who celebrate every win, know members by name, notice when someone hasn't been in for a week, and take pride in creating an experience people can't wait to come back to.

This isn't just another coaching role.

It's an opportunity to further build an incredible community, champion the BFT brand, grow as a leader, and learn what it takes to help run a thriving BFT studio.

Working alongside our Studio Manager and owners, you'll begin with 25-30 hours per week, with a genuine pathway into a full-time Assistant Studio Manager position for the right person.

If you're hungry to grow, naturally take ownership and genuinely love helping people become the best version of themselves, we'd love to hear from you.

Create an Incredible Community

Deliver an exceptional member experience every session.

Welcome and onboard new members.

Build genuine relationships.

Celebrate milestones and achievements.

Reconnect members who've drifted away.

Help create unforgettable challenges and community events.

Be an ambassador for both the BFT brand and the culture we've built.

Live the Brand

Champion the BFT programming and philosophy.

Practice what you preach by training consistently.

Educate members on why we do what we do, not just how.

Represent the professionalism and standards of the BFT brand every day.

Lead With Ownership

Lead by example.

Take pride in maintaining an exceptional studio environment.

Support and mentor coaches.

Help onboard new team members.

Contribute ideas that improve the business.

Celebrate wins and solve problems.

Learn the Business

One of the biggest opportunities in this role happens outside the coaching floor.

Leadership and people management.

Member retention and engagement.

Sales and onboarding.

Marketing and social media.

Business operations.

Studio performance and KPIs.

If you've ever dreamed of running a studio - or even owning one day - this role has been designed to help prepare you.

We don't expect you to know everything.

What matters most is your willingness to learn.

We'll invest in your leadership, challenge you to grow, and give you genuine opportunities to develop the skills needed to lead a thriving studio.

Become a Face of Our Community

Our social media isn't just marketing. It's an extension of who we are.

You'll create engaging content that captures the energy, personality and stories behind our community while becoming a recognisable face of BFT Cheltenham.

Who We're Looking For

The right person isn't necessarily the most experienced coach.

They're the person who cares the most.

Loves helping people.

Brings energy every day.

Takes ownership.

Is humble enough to learn.

Loves building relationships.

Notices the little things.

Wants to become an exceptional leader.

Above all, you're someone who finishes every shift knowing you've made someone's day just a little bit better.

Certificate III & IV in Fitness.

Current First Aid & CPR.

Group fitness coaching experience.

Availability across mornings, evenings and alternating weekends.

What You'll Get

Ongoing mentoring from experienced business owners.

Hands-on exposure to business operations.

Marketing and social media experience.

Career progression opportunities.

Complimentary BFT membership.

A supportive, high-performing team.

Good enough has never been our standard.

We're always looking for ways to improve, create memorable experiences and raise the bar - for our members, our team and ourselves.

If you're excited by high standards, love being part of a team and want to grow into a leadership role where you'll genuinely make an impact, we'd love to hear from you.
