Job description

Compensation

We’ll pay you a hourly rate of, $33.50-$47.00/hour (depending on experience).

About the Job

We need you to fill the role of Personal Trainer. This is a part-time, hourly (non-exempt) position. We are specifically seeking candidates with availability during weekday mornings and weekends. Trainers will conduct a variety of assessments beginning with a preparticipation health-screening and may also include assessments of posture and movement, flexibility, balance, core function, cardio-respiratory fitness, muscular fitness, body composition, and skill-related parameters (e.g. power, agility, coordination, speed, and reactivity) to observe and gather relevant information needed to develop an effective exercise program and support client goal attainment. Assessments should be performed at the beginning and after a training program to measure client progress towards improved physical fitness.

Responsibilities

• Trainers create exercise programs following a progression model, using the baseline assessment as the starting point of a client’s physical abilities, and framing the program to fit the individual personally.
• Trainers also provide education on many other aspects of wellness, including general health and nutrition guidelines.
• Qualified personal trainers or certified personal trainers (CPTs) recognize their own areas of expertise. If a trainer suspects that one of their clients has a medical condition that would prevent the client from safe participation in an exercise program, they must refer the client to the proper health professional for medical clearance.
• Trainers are required to support in the supervision of the safety and welfare of members throughout the fitness center.
• Trainers are responsible in managing their schedule and appointments with members, including sending calendar invites, cancellations, communicating, and listening in a professional manner.
• Attend meetings as requested, including evening and/or weekend meetings.
• All other duties as assigned.

Please note that successful candidates for this position may be subject to a background check as part of the hiring process. Will be used to assess eligibility for employment. Any discrepancies may result in the withdrawal of the job offer or termination of employment. All information will be handled confidentially and in accordance with applicable laws.
