Certified Fitness Coach / Personal Trainer

Earn $35–$50 per hour + bonuses

Flexible part-time and full-time schedules available

Build Relationships. Create Results. Make Fitness Personal.

Some trainers love the gym floor. Others would rather build real relationships with clients and coach them where fitness fits naturally into their lives.

GYMGUYZ is hiring Certified Fitness Coaches and Personal Trainers to work directly with clients in their homes, residential communities, workplaces, and other convenient locations.

You’ll work with a wide variety of people, goals, ages, and ability levels while being supported by an established local fitness company.

There is no trainer rent, no waiting for walk-ins, and no routine sales requirement. Your primary responsibility is delivering an outstanding client experience.

A Different Kind of Training Career

As part of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Earn $35–$50/hour based on experience
• Qualify for performance bonuses
• Build a schedule around your availability
• Receive mileage reimbursement
• Complete paid onboarding
• Participate in continuing professional development
• Receive discounts toward recertification
• Access available health plan options
• Access available pre-tax retirement/401(k) options
• Advance toward Master Trainer and leadership opportunities
• Work with a diverse client population
• Be recognized and rewarded for excellent performance
• Focus primarily on coaching rather than selling

The Role

You’ll be responsible for creating an exceptional fitness experience for every client.

That includes:

• Assessing individual fitness needs and goals
• Developing customized exercise programs
• Coaching safe and effective workouts
• Conducting periodic reassessments
• Tracking progress and documenting sessions
• Providing motivation and accountability
• Managing your assigned schedule responsibly
• Using mobile technology for programming, client notes, and communication
• Working collaboratively with other GYMGUYZ professionals
• Maintaining a consistently professional client experience

Our team operates according to five core values: Determination, Respect, Integrity, Versatility, and Excellence — DRIVE.

What We’re Looking For

You should have:

• A nationally recognized personal training certification such as NASM, ACE, ISSA, ACSM, or comparable credential
• Current CPR/AED certification
• Reliable transportation
• Willingness to travel locally to client appointments
• Comfort using mobile apps and web-based platforms
• Excellent communication skills
• Strong professionalism and reliability
• Genuine enthusiasm for helping people improve their health and fitness

Experience is valuable, but equally important is your ability to connect with clients, adapt your coaching, and represent the company professionally.
