Job description

Self-Employed Personal Trainer – Hackney Downs, London

Earning Potential: £35,000–£75,000+ (self-employed)

About Us

Anytime Fitness Hackney Downs opened in 2025 with a premium fit-out, a high-energy atmosphere, and a clear mission: deliver an outstanding training environment driven by coaching, connection, and experience.

With a fast-growing membership base of over 1,100 members, we are entering the next phase of our development - where Personal Training becomes central to how members engage with the club, achieve their goals, and stay long-term.

We are looking for a PT who brings confidence, presence, and entrepreneurial drive - someone who understands that PT is both a craft and a business, and who wants to build something meaningful within a supportive, modern, experience-led gym.

About the Role

As a self-employed PT, you’ll run your own business inside our club while being part of a collaborative, member-first team. You keep 100% of your PT income and benefit from structured visibility, warm lead opportunities, and genuine business support.

Is suited to someone who:

• Is proactive and commercially minded
• Thrives on building relationships
• Enjoys being visible and engaging on the gym floor
• Wants to grow a sustainable, long-term client base
• Understands the link between presence, utilisation, and results

Rent Model (Designed for Sustainable Growth)

To support your business development, we offer the following stepped rental structure:

• Month 1: £0
• Month 2: £250
• Month 3: £450
• Month 4+: £600 fixed monthly rent

This gives you genuine runway to establish your client base and convert the opportunities created for you.

Key Responsibilities

Coaching & Programming

• Deliver high-quality 1:1 Personal Training sessions
• Create tailored programmes aligned with member goals
• Support new member onboarding (optional but valuable)

Floor Presence & Member Engagement

• Be highly visible and approachable during agreed floor hours
• Initiate conversations, offer guidance, and build rapport
• Contribute to gym atmosphere and standards (resets, tidiness, energy)
• Represent the club with professionalism and positivity

Lead Conversion & Consultations

• Convert gym-floor interactions into consultations
• Follow up promptly with leads provided by our engagement system
• Deliver impactful intro sessions that drive long-term coaching relationships

Classes

• Deliver four (4) group classes per month as part of your rental agreement
• Use classes as a visibility tool to showcase your coaching style, build rapport, and generate PT interest
• Class formats and scheduling will be confirmed during onboarding

Business Development Support

We are committed to helping you grow a sustainable PT business. This includes:

Warm Lead Generation

Our member engagement system proactively connects you with members who would genuinely benefit from coaching - such as new joiners, returning members, and those aiming to progress.

Consultation Bookings

You will receive a consistent flow of intro sessions to help convert new clients.

Marketing Visibility

Support with in-club awareness, optional social media visibility, and integration into the member experience.

Structured Guidance

Regular check-ins with the Operations & Fitness Manager to review performance, identify opportunities, and support your business-growth rhythm.

This is not a passive PT role - it is a partnership designed for someone who wants to build a thriving PT business in a premium, high-engagement environment.

About You

You’re the right fit if you:

• Are CIMSPA Level 3 / REPs Level 3 qualified
• Hold valid public liability insurance
• Have experience delivering PT in a commercial setting
• Bring confidence, communication skills, and business awareness
• Enjoy engaging with people and initiating conversations
• Understand how to build and maintain a client base
• Are reliable, organised, and passionate about coaching
• Want to be a high‑visibility trainer who members know and trust

If you’re passive, hesitant, or waiting for clients to come to you - this won’t be the right environment. If you thrive on building relationships and growing a business - you will do exceptionally well here.

What We Offer

• Large, fast-growing member base
• Brand new facility across strength, cardio, free weights, and functional zones
• Complimentary membership
• Warm lead generation and booked consultations
• Member engagement support that keeps you visible
• Operational support from an experienced management team
• Strong PT demand driven by utilisation and retention strategy
• A positive, community-driven training environment

Next Steps

If you’re ready to build a thriving PT business in a high-energy, member-focused club, we’d love to hear from you.
