Job Description

We're Hiring: Strength & Conditioning Coach

The Gym | Expertise Over Exercise

We're looking for a great coach to join our team!

The Gym is a private, small-group strength training facility built around the belief that effective training should be intentional, individualized, and grounded in expertise.

We don't believe in simply putting people through workouts. We believe in understanding movement, recognizing individual needs, and delivering thoughtfully crafted training that produces meaningful, lasting results.

Our clients range from ages 14–85, with varying fitness backgrounds, goals, and physical considerations. We are looking for a coach who is confident working with a diverse population and understands that great training isn't one‑size‑fits‑all.

The Role

As a Strength & Conditioning Coach, you will lead small-group strength training sessions, coach proper movement mechanics, and provide individualized guidance within a structured training program.

You will be responsible for creating a welcoming, professional training environment while ensuring each client receives the attention and appropriate modifications they need.

Responsibilities

• Lead small-group strength training sessions with confidence and professionalism.
• Coach proper movement mechanics, exercise technique, and safe lifting practices.
• Recognize individual limitations and provide appropriate exercise modifications.
• Understand how to adapt programming for clients with previous injuries, mobility restrictions, and other physical considerations.
• Build relationships with clients and foster a positive, encouraging training environment.
• Maintain a high standard of coaching, attention to detail, and client engagement.
• Communicate effectively with fellow coaches to ensure consistency in programming and client care.

What We're Looking For

• Background in exercise science, kinesiology, strength and conditioning, or a related field.
• Personal training or group fitness experience preferred.
• Strong understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and resistance training principles.
• Experience working with general‑population clients and varying fitness abilities.
• Knowledge of exercise modifications and working around injuries or movement limitations.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Dependable, professional, and genuinely passionate about helping people improve their health and strength.

Most importantly: We want someone who understands that being a great trainer is about more than knowing exercises. It's about knowing why you're prescribing them, recognizing when something needs to change, and understanding the person in front of you.

The Right Fit

We value coaches who are curious, thoughtful, and continually looking to improve their craft. Someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys building relationships, and appreciates an environment where quality matters more than quantity.

If you believe strength training should be purposeful, coaching should be individualized, and the details matter, we'd love to hear from you.
