We are looking for candidates with a relevant college degree (Exercise Science, Physiology, Kinesiology) or 3+ years of personal training experience to step into this multifaceted role. You will empower individuals to redefine the aging process using Strength Training as your base, while seamlessly blending critical wellness modalities—including Balance, Brain Cognition, Nutrition, and our newly launched Assisted Stretch program—into an all-encompassing strategy for lifelong health.

Job Summary

The Exercise Coach® is dedicated to helping women and men transform the way that they age without gimmicks. Unlike the conventional health-club setting, The Exercise Coach® ("TEC") is very professional and distraction-free; offering clients a program built on the foundation of customized strength training backed by a scientifically driven methodology, rather than modeling the latest fitness craze in a crowded, intimidating environment.

We are currently looking for a full-time trainer (up to 40 hours per week) who can work a combination of weekday mornings/evenings (1X weekly split shift) and Saturdays (7:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.).

Your compensation is never commission-based, so you are always paid for your time whether training clients or not.

Our studio offers a casual, fun environment, top-of-the-line proprietary training equipment and the opportunity to learn the inner-workings of a successful personal training studio.
