Job description

The Wave Athletics & Fitness

You’ve already built the relationships. You’ve already proven you can coach. So why are you still building someone else’s business instead of your own future?

Maybe you love your clients but have outgrown the gym you’re training in.

Maybe you’re tired of fighting for space, working around limitations, or wondering whether there’s a better place to grow what you’ve already built.

Or maybe you’ve thought about making a move—but haven’t found a facility worth bringing your clients to.

What if The Wave is that place?

The Wave Athletics & Fitness is looking for a few experienced personal trainers and fitness professionals in the area who already have an established client base and are ready to get to work.

We aren't looking for one specific type of trainer.

We're looking for great coaches with a following.

Your specialty might be:

• Athletic and sports performance
• Strength and conditioning
• General fitness and personal training
• Group fitness
• Yoga or Pilates
• Bootcamp-style training
• Youth athletic development
• Senior fitness
• Mobility and functional movement
• Weight loss and lifestyle coaching

What matters most is that you know how to coach, people trust you, and you've built relationships worth bringing with you.

You've Built Something. What's Next?

We're interested in trainers who don't need to start from zero.

You've put in the early mornings. You've stayed late. You've earned certifications, learned through experience, helped clients reach goals, and built a reputation.

Now the question is:

What could you do with the right facility, the right environment, and the right people around you?

At The Wave, you'll have the opportunity to bring your existing clients into an environment where you can continue doing what you do best while becoming part of something bigger.

We want coaches who have Grit when things get difficult, Loyalty to their clients and teammates, Integrity when nobody is watching, a Positive Mindset that people want to be around, and who understand the importance of Enjoying the Journey.

Because work matters—but so does everything you're working for.

Our people enjoy sports, hunting, fishing, racing, fitness, and spending time with their families. We want driven people who work hard, enjoy what they do, and still have a life outside the gym.

The Person We're Looking For

You're experienced and confident in your ability to coach.

You currently have, or have previously held, a recognized personal training or fitness certification.

You have an existing book of business or established client relationships and could begin training without spending months trying to build a client base from scratch.

You understand that great personal training is about more than programming workouts. It's about trust, accountability, communication, relationships, and results.

You take ownership of your schedule and your clients.

And when you walk onto the training floor, you bring an energy people notice.

What You'll Have the Opportunity to Do

You'll train and develop your existing clients while creating new relationships within The Wave community.

Depending on your background, you may work with athletes, adults, youth, seniors, groups, teams, or specialized fitness populations.

You'll also have opportunities to contribute to classes, member engagement, community outreach, facility events, and the continued growth of The Wave.

We don't want to tell an experienced trainer exactly what their future has to look like.

We want to know what you've already built—and what you could build here.

What We're Looking For

• Previous personal training, coaching, or fitness instruction experience
• Current or previous recognized fitness certification such as NASM, ACE, ISSA, or similar
• Existing clients/book of business strongly preferred
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to coach safely and effectively across your area of expertise
• Dependability and personal accountability
• CPR/AED certification preferred
• A team-first attitude and desire to contribute to The Wave community

Compensation: $20.00/hour and/or commission-based opportunities

You've Already Proven You Can Build a Client Base.

Now the question is where you want to take it.

If you're an experienced trainer who has built something you're proud of—but you're wondering whether there's a better environment for you and your clients we should talk.

Bring your experience. Bring your clients. Bring what makes your coaching different.

Let's see what you can build at The Wave.
