Job description

NORSE GYM is growing, and we're looking for passionate, knowledgeable, and motivated fitness coaches to join our team!

We're looking for Small Group Fitness Trainers who bring more than just workouts to the floor. We want team members who inspire, educate, challenge, and genuinely care about helping people become stronger versions of themselves.

THE ROLE

As a Small Group Fitness Trainer at Norse Gym, you'll lead engaging, results-driven training sessions while creating a welcoming, motivating, and supportive environment for members of all fitness levels.

This is a dual-role position combining small group fitness coaching with front desk and member experience responsibilities. Scheduled shifts will include both coaching sessions and dedicated front desk coverage.

• Provide information about memberships, classes, and gym amenities.
• Conduct gym tours and help prospective members get familiar with our facility.
• Support membership inquiries and new member onboarding.
• Assist with daily gym operations, organization, and general upkeep.
• Help foster a strong, welcoming community both on and off the training floor.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Experience coaching small group fitness, strength training, functional fitness, or athletic conditioning.
• Recognized fitness certification (NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA, CrossFit, or equivalent) preferred.
• CPR/AED certification or willingness to obtain it.
• Strong understanding of exercise programming, biomechanics, and injury prevention.
• Confident, energetic, and engaging coaching style.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills.
• Comfortable interacting with members, answering questions, and supporting gym operations.
• Dependable, punctual, organized, and professional.
• A genuine passion for fitness, community, and helping others succeed.
