Fitness Coach — Orangetheory Fitness Southlands (Aurora, CO)

Lead the room. Change the day. Coach people into the best version of themselves one hour at a time.

At Orangetheory Southlands, our coaches don't just run workouts. They own the energy of the room, hold the standard, and pull people toward goals they didn't think they could hit. If you're the kind of person who lights up when someone finishes stronger than they started and you've got the certification and the presence to back it up, we want to talk.

Who We Are

We're the Southlands studio of a locally owned, performance-driven organization. We believe great coaching is equal parts science, showmanship, and service. Our members trust us with their health, their hour, and their hardest days — and we take that seriously. We run on a simple set of core values, and we hire, coach, and lead by them:

• Serve First, Lead Always — the member's experience comes before your ego, every rep.
• Own the Energy — the room feeds off you. Set the tone the moment you walk in.
• Raise the Standard — good enough isn't. Coach form, effort, and results with intention.
• Win as One — coaches, sales team, and front desk move as one crew.

If those land with you, keep reading.

What You'll Do

• Lead group strength and VO2 Conditioning classes across the treadmill, rower, and weight floor using Orangetheory's heart-rate-based, science-backed program.
• Deliver an unforgettable member experience — motivating, coaching form, modifying for all fitness levels, and knowing your members by name.
• Interpret and coach to the five heart-rate zones, helping members chase Splat Points and hit their goals safely.
• Choreograph and rehearse each day's template so you walk in prepared, not winging it.
• Coach real-time modifications for beginners, athletes, injuries, and everyone in between.
• Partner with the sales and front-desk team to drive retention, referrals, and a studio culture people don't want to leave.
• Represent the studio and brand with professionalism, positivity, and hustle.

What You Bring

• A current, nationally accredited personal training or group fitness certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, NSCA, AFAA, or equivalent).
• Current CPR / AED certification (or willingness to obtain before your first class).
• Real presence — you can command a room, read the energy, and adjust on the fly.
• A coaching style that's motivating without being a drill sergeant, and knowledgeable without being a lecture.
• Reliability and professionalism: on time, prepared, and consistent.
• Bonus points for prior group fitness or HIIT coaching experience — but the right personality and certification matter most.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay: $35–$65 per session / hour, plus performance incentives.
• Paid Orangetheory coach certification and ongoing development.
• A complimentary membership and access to the best training environment in Southlands.
• A team that actually invests in your growth — many of our leaders started on the floor.
• Flexible scheduling: part-time (possible full-time).
• A culture where coaches are respected, developed, and set up to win.
