Job description

House of Greatness is a high-performance training facility built for athletes and adults who demand more — from themselves and their training. From youth to elite, House of Greatness equips you to chase, earn, and unleash your greatness.

Our mission is simple, it is to UNLEASH GREATNESS. This is our reason for existence. It’s our core purpose. It applies to every session we run - every member we interact with - every aspect of the brand.

Our values are what we live by. They articulate the core principles and beliefs that guide our behaviour and decision-making. We call this The HG Code.

• Show Respect: We respect everyone & everything. Respect your coaches, your peers, the facility - and respect the process & everything else.
• Get Locked In: Be on time with an expectation to get better. Put the phone away & be fully engaged in the process. Invest in the moment & people around you. In the gym we bring our best energy & attitude.
• Work Hard: Hard work works but no one is going to tell you when. We show up as humble savages, ready to learn, grow, & adapt. Build a work ethic that inspires those around you.
• Leave a Legacy: Leave this place better than you found it. Leave others better than you found them. We choose to make an impact on our family, friends and team.
• Don’t Hold Back: The secret to living is giving. We give everything - our love, sweat, tears and laughter. We bring energy to every person we interact with & place we enter.
• Raise the Ships: A high tide raises all ships. Individually & collectively, we seek to constantly raise the standards in every area and build others up.
• Chase Greatness: We go all-in on our quest for greatness. We are committed towards becoming the best version of ourselves.

We believe greatness is something we should all be striving for - and we were all created for greatness. But greatness looks different to each of us, it takes the same thing to achieve it - trusting the process and a commitment to getting better every day. Overcoming struggles, working through adversity, and living with a fire and burn.

There are standards when you enter someone’s house. Here - greatness is our house, and we set the standard.
