Job description

Part-Time with Opportunity to Grow into Full-Time

FIT RESULTS® is looking for an experienced, personable Personal Trainer who loves coaching, connecting with people, and helping clients become stronger and more confident.

We're a locally owned personal training gym where great coaching goes beyond exercises and counting reps. Our coaches build relationships, understand what motivates each client, celebrate progress, and help people stay consistent.

Our primary clientele includes adults 35+, with a strong focus on women and men seeking strength, mobility, longevity, confidence, and sustainable results.

This position begins part-time with the opportunity to grow into a larger role as you develop within FIT RESULTS®.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Your primary responsibility is providing an outstanding coaching experience.

Depending on your experience and schedule, your role may include:

• Coaching Semi-Private Personal Training
• Coaching 1-on-1 Personal Training
• Teaching proper technique and movement
• Progressing and modifying exercises for different fitness levels
• Building strong relationships with members
• Tracking progress and celebrating client wins
• Helping clients stay motivated and consistent
• Supporting fitness assessments and consultations
• Helping maintain a welcoming, professional training environment

As you grow within the role, there may also be opportunities to become involved with client onboarding, consultations, programming, member retention, and leadership responsibilities.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for a coach who is:

• Personable & professional — You enjoy working with people and helping clients feel comfortable and supported.
• Dependable — You understand that clients and teammates rely on you.
• A strong communicator — You listen well and can explain things clearly to different personalities and fitness levels.
• Team-oriented — You enjoy collaborating with other coaches and contributing to a positive environment.
• Open to learning — You're comfortable receiving feedback and continuing to develop professionally.
• Self-motivated — You're willing to take initiative and contribute when you see an opportunity to help.
• Growth-minded — You're interested in developing your skills and potentially taking on additional responsibilities over time.

You don't need to check every box to apply. We're interested in finding a great coach with strong people skills who is willing to learn and grow with us.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required:

• Recognized Personal Training Certification — NASM, ACE, ISSA, ACSM, NCSF, NFPT, or equivalent
• Current CPR/AED certification
• Personal training or relevant coaching experience
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to safely coach clients of different fitness levels

Great to have, but not required:

• Experience coaching adults 35+
• Semi-private or small-group training experience
• Group fitness experience
• Fitness assessments or consultations
• Foundational nutrition knowledge
• Client onboarding, retention, or fitness sales experience

Sales experience is not required. If you're a strong coach who connects naturally with people, we'll help you develop the skills needed to confidently participate in consultations and onboarding.

We believe good onboarding starts with listening and understanding someone's goals—not high-pressure selling.

SCHEDULE

This position begins part-time at approximately 9+ hours per week, with opportunities for additional hours and responsibilities.

Our clients train throughout the day, including early mornings, daytime, evenings, and some weekends.

We'll discuss availability during the interview process to determine a schedule that works well with our current coaching needs.

COMPENSATION & GROWTH

Pay: $25–$30/hour based on experience and responsibilities

Employment: W-2

Starting Schedule: Part-Time, approximately 9+ hours/week

Full-Time Compensation: Approximately $50,000/year depending on role, schedule, and responsibilities

• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Sick days
• Opportunities for additional responsibility and leadership

PAID TRAINING & ONBOARDING

Every new coach completes a paid FIT RESULTS® training and onboarding period to learn our coaching methodology, Semi-Private Personal Training model, programming approach, client experience, and onboarding process.

We don't expect you to already know our system. We'll teach you how we do things while also giving you an opportunity to bring your own experience and strengths to the team.

At FIT RESULTS®, the personal comes before the training.

We want our coaches to know their clients—not just their workouts.

Our goal is for every client to feel seen, challenged, supported, and cared for while working toward meaningful results.

For the right coach, this is an opportunity to do what you love while continuing to develop your skills and career with an established, locally owned fitness business.

INTERESTED?

If you're a trainer who loves coaching, enjoys working with people, and wants an opportunity to grow professionally, we'd love to hear from you.
