Job description

Diamond Creek
Tuesday 6:00am–11:00am
Wednesday 6:00am–10:00am
Thursday 6:00am–11:00am
14 established paid coaching hours per week
Fixed ongoing schedule
No client acquisition. No unpaid gym-floor hours.

We’re looking for an experienced Personal Trainer to join a small specialised studio team in Diamond Creek, delivering three established semi-private training shifts with an existing client base.

This isn’t a role where you’ll need to build a client base, sell memberships or spend unpaid hours on a gym floor. The clients and hours are already established, so you can walk in and focus on coaching.

The role

• Coach semi-private Personal Training sessions with 1–5 clients at a time
• Deliver and regularly update individualised strength-training programs
• Modify exercises around injuries, previous surgeries, health conditions and different ability levels
• Monitor technique, progression and client wellbeing throughout each session
• Build strong, long-term professional relationships with clients
• Work within an established studio framework while still using your own programming and coaching judgement
• $50–$65 per hour + super, depending on semi-private client numbers, with a guaranteed minimum average of $50 per hour across each shift

Our clients are primarily adults in their 50s and 60s, with some into their 70s. Many are working around previous injuries, surgeries or health conditions, so this role requires someone with enough hands-on experience and sound judgement to confidently adapt training and coach several individual programs within the same session.

The coaching style here is calm, attentive and individualised. We’re not looking for a high-energy bootcamp-style trainer who simply pushes everyone harder. We want someone who enjoys getting to know their clients, pays attention to the details and understands that good coaching means challenging people appropriately for their body and circumstances.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has at least 2+ years of genuine Personal Training experience
• Has strong strength-training and exercise-modification knowledge
• Has experience working around injuries, health conditions or different physical abilities
• Is calm, personable and confident communicating with clients
• Can divide their attention effectively between several clients completing individual programs
• Has sound professional judgement and takes client safety seriously
• Is highly reliable, punctual and organised
• Genuinely enjoys building long-term relationships with clients
• Wants stable, ongoing work and ideally sees themselves in the role for 2+ years
• Is comfortable taking responsibility for their own programming within an established studio framework
• Allied‑health, rehabilitation or older‑adult training experience would be highly regarded

A Certificate IV in Fitness and current First Aid/CPR are essential.

Because these are fixed 6:00am client sessions, reliable early‑morning attendance is essential. The role will particularly suit someone based locally or with a short, reliable commute to Diamond Creek.

This role may be particularly attractive to an experienced trainer who already works elsewhere or runs their own small PT business and would value three reliable, established morning shifts without having to find the clients themselves.

Trainer turnover here is extremely low, with trainers historically staying for many years. We’re looking for someone who sees this as a genuine long-term opportunity and wants to become a trusted part of our clients’ training routine.

A paid shadowing and handover period will be provided so you can learn the studio approach, get comfortable with the programs and gradually get to know the clients before taking responsibility for the shifts.
