Job description

Studio Partner | Golf and Athletic Performance | Jacksonville, Florida

This is an independent practice opportunity-not a salaried or hourly position.

The opportunity

Audens Golf Performance is seeking experienced strength and conditioning professionals who want to operate an independent coaching practice from a premium, integrated golf-performance studio. This opportunity is designed for coaches who can bring or build their own clientele while collaborating, when appropriate, with golf, physical therapy, sports science, and high-performance professionals.

Audens is building a select network of two to three trusted providers in each specialty, supported by a limited group of approved drop-in providers. Core providers may reserve recurring AM and/or PM blocks on designated days. Drop-in access may be available for individual open blocks, subject to scheduling and approval.

What Audens provides

• Access to a premium strength and conditioning environment designed for athlete development.
• Access to approved shared equipment and designated training areas during reserved blocks.
• Proximity to DARI movement screening, force-plate testing, GEARS 3D swing capture, physical therapy, golf coaching, and high-performance expertise.
• A professional setting suitable for private, semi-private, and approved small-group coaching.
• Potential for interdisciplinary collaboration and appropriate cross-referrals, without guaranteed client volume.

How the relationship works

• Choose an approved recurring AM and/or PM block, or request available drop-in access.
• Operate under your own business, brand, service model, and pricing.
• Bring and manage your own clients; Audens does not employ the provider or control the provider's client fees.
• Use the facility only during reserved times and for approved services.
• Participate in reasonable onboarding and orientation for the studio, equipment, scheduling, safety, and collaborative standards.

What you will own

• Building and maintaining your own client base.
• Setting your own service offerings and client pricing.
• Scheduling, billing, collecting payment, and maintaining all required business and client records.
• Maintaining all required licenses, certifications, professional liability insurance, business registrations, and tax obligations.
• Delivering an exceptional client experience and leaving all shared spaces clean, organized, and ready for the next provider.
• Following Audens facility, scheduling, safety, confidentiality, technology-use, and brand guidelines.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in exercise science, kinesiology, strength and conditioning, or a closely related field—or substantial equivalent professional experience.
• Current nationally recognized strength and conditioning or personal-training credential, such as CSCS, SCCC, XPS, or an approved equivalent.
• Current CPR/AED certification.
• Professional liability insurance appropriate to all services provided.
• Demonstrated ability to assess, program, coach, progress, and document individualized training safely.
• Experience working independently with private-pay clients.

Strongly preferred

• Golf-performance, rotational-sport, return-to-performance, or high-level athlete experience.
• TPI, EXOS, force-plate, velocity-based training, or movement-assessment experience.
• An existing Jacksonville-area client base, referral network, or partnerships.
• Experience collaborating with physical therapists, chiropractors, golf coaches, or sports-science professionals.
• Evidence of client retention, program growth, or successful independent business development.

A strong fit looks like

• You are an excellent practitioner and a responsible independent operator.
• You already have clients, referral relationships, or a credible plan to build a local book of business.
• You value objective measurement and interdisciplinary collaboration without losing ownership of your own practice.
• You communicate professionally, respect scope-of-practice boundaries, and follow through consistently.
• You want access to a premium environment without taking on the cost of building a full facility alone.
