This is a high-impact role for a fitness professional who loves coaching but is ready to take ownership of a studio's training quality and member experience.

You'll be the right hand to ownership, the lead voice on the training floor, and the person our 100+ members rely on for results.

Compensation

• Base salary: $50,000 - $59,000
• Performance bonuses tied to membership growth and retention (realistic OTE $65-75K as we grow membership above 110)
• Partially employer-subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance (rare in the boutique fitness industry)
• Paid time off
• Free studio access + discounted supplements
• Real path to expanded responsibility and comp as the studio scales and we build more studios

Schedule:

Full-time, 40 hours/week. ~25-30 hours coaching on the floor, balance dedicated to retention, member experience, and team leadership. Some early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends required.

What you'll do:

Coaching (the core of the role):

• Lead 25-30 small group personal training sessions per week using the Alloy method
• Coach groups of up to 6 with energy, precision, and genuine care
• Run Starting Point sessions for new members and follow Alloy's onboarding system
• Maintain detailed client records and progress notes in the Alloy app

Member experience & retention:

• Personally connect with members who haven't checked in 8+ times in the last 30 days
• Run accountability sessions and follow-ups to keep members engaged
• Be the warm, recognizable face our members come back for
• Track retention, attendance, and engagement metrics in Mindbody

Team & operations leadership:

• Help recruit, train, and develop coaching staff
• Assist with scheduling and weekly workout reviews with the training team
• Support studio operations - opening/closing, cleanliness, supply management
• Partner with ownership on staff meetings and quarterly check-ins

What we’re looking for:

• Current nationally-recognized PT certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, NSCA, ISSA, or equivalent)
• Current CPR/AED certification
• 2+ years personal training experience; small group experience strongly preferred
• Prior leadership, team lead, or assistant manager experience a major plus
• Genuine warmth - our members come back because of how you make them feel
• Strong communication and follow-through; you do what you say you'll do
• Tech comfortable - Mindbody, Alloy app, basic spreadsheets, social media
• Reliability and integrity. This role requires trust.
• Sales comfort - not pushy, but able to confidently guide a Starting Point session into a membership
• A teachable spirit. The Alloy system works when you run it as designed.

Why Alloy Palos Verdes:

• Established studio with 100+ loyal members - you're stepping into an active, full schedule, not building from scratch
• Proven Alloy programming and systems - no designing workouts from blank pages
• Direct partnership with hands-on ownership who values their team
• No big-box gym sales grind - our members are committed and looking for results, not pressure
• Real growth path: as we scale membership, your bonus scales and your role expands
• Beautiful Palos Verdes location, supportive team culture, mission-driven work
