The Opportunity:

We’re looking for a candidate with strong potential who’s eager to learn and excited to grow with us. Over the past 8 years, our company has expanded to 20 Anytime Fitness locations - and we need more talented, motivated people to keep that momentum going. We know the only way to continue growing and helping more people is by building the right team. If that sounds like you, we have a lot to offer.

What Sets Us Apart:

Growth: We are working hard to grow our company. Your job is more than just training clients - it’s about helping our whole team succeed. One client success story at a time.

Mentorship: You won’t be figuring it out alone. We have a seasoned Fitness Director and published fitness author on staff to help you sharpen your skills. We’ll keep investing in you so you can invest in your clients.

Proven System: We have a system that helps Anytime Fitness locations grow by getting real results for members. You have to be willing to put in the work and do the basics. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it!

Conduct Fitness Consultations: Meet with new and existing members to assess needs, provide clear insight into what it takes to reach their goals, and recommend the right training package to help them get there.

Member Outreach: Contact members and clients to keep them engaged and involved in our services. That includes follow-ups, check-ins, and helping people stay consistent if/when motivation drops.

Not Certified?: We can help! We'll pay for your personal training certification and provide extensive coaching. You can join our team as a fitness enthusiast and become a certified pro on the job.

Qualifications:

• Great people skills to build strong relationships with members
• Experience in sales (not required but helpful)
