Job description

Head Trainer | Titan Sports Performance | Santa Barbara, CA

For over 25 years, Titan Sports Performance has been Santa Barbara's home for athletic development. We're proud partners with local clubs and coaches, invested in long-term athlete development, and committed to a community where young athletes fall in love with getting better. We run group classes and 1-on-1 personal training for all ages and levels. But the heartbeat of Titan is the athlete. That's where this role lives.

This isn't a side gig. We're looking for someone who wants to make Titan their professional home.

The Role

Lead elite group training sessions and morning training blocks with energy, clarity, and standards that athletes can feel. Mentor and develop the coaching staff through weekly check-ins, hands‑on feedback, and program reviews. Own programming quality, athlete assessments, and progress tracking using VALD force plates and BridgeAthletic. Plan and execute community clinics, club partnership sessions, and testing events that grow Titan's reach in Santa Barbara. Build your own client base inside the facility and help grow our reputation as the place serious athletes train.

What We're Looking For

NSCA, NASM, CSCS, or equivalent certification. Minimum 2 years coaching or personal training experience. Confident and energetic coaching youth athletes and adult populations. Strong communicator who can lead a session, lead a room, and develop other trainers. Comfortable with data‑driven programming and platforms like BridgeAthletic, or ready to learn. Someone who values community, builds relationships with local clubs and families, and sees coaching as a career.

Hours and Compensation

25‑29 hrs/week with growth potential beyond 30+ as you build your training book. $25‑35/hr based on experience and performance, with clear progression. Additional earning opportunities discussed during the interview process.
