Job description

About the role

You’re here to coach, properly. That means owning the full arc of a client’s progress, not just running them through a workout.

Key responsibilities

Assess before you programme. Run a thorough intake and movement screen with every new client. Draw on our in-house physios when needed, so every programme starts with a clear understanding of the person in front of you.

Coach, don't just supervise. Cue technique, make adjustments in real time, and teach clients the why behind what they’re doing. The goal isn't just a good session, it’s helping clients become better, more confident trainees.

Own progress and retention. Know whether your clients are getting better. Track the numbers that matter, keep programmes and coaching notes current, hold clients accountable, and adjust the plan when progress stalls.

Lead group classes to standard. A bigger room isn't an excuse for passive coaching. Scan the floor, cue individuals, manage regressions and progressions, and bring the energy that makes a room of twelve feel coached, not just supervised.

Coach the harder cases. Work alongside our in-house physios to coach injured, returning, older, and more complex clients safely and confidently. Know when to progress, when to modify, and when to bring a physio in.

Contribute beyond your sessions. This is a full-time coaching role, not a collection of PT hours. Take part in team meetings, case discussions, education, and gym initiatives, and step in where needed to make the overall client experience better.

Raise the floor. Share what works, learn from senior coaches and physios, give and receive feedback, and hold yourself and the team to a high coaching standard.
