What You’ll Do

• Lead group training sessions for youth, adults, and teams
• Provide personal training and individualized coaching when needed
• Teach proper form, technique, and movement mechanics
• Modify workouts to meet athletes at their current ability level
• Help athletes improve strength, speed, agility, and overall performance

• Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science or related field (preferred)

• Be part of a performance-based training environment, not just a typical gym
• Work with a brand that’s growing rapidly nationwide
• Make a direct impact on athletes’ performance and confidence
