Help People Stay Strong, Move Well, and Keep Doing the Things They Love

StretchPlex is growing, and we're looking for exceptional people to join our team as Body Coaches.

This isn't a typical personal training or gym job. StretchPlex works one-on-one with adults who want to move better, remain active and independent, and continue doing the things that matter to them. Through assisted stretching, personal training, movement coaching and recovery services, our Body Coaches build lasting relationships and help clients make movement and strength a consistent part of life.

What Makes a Great StretchPlex Body Coach?

Technical knowledge matters, but who you are matters just as much.

The people who thrive at StretchPlex are:

Humble. You care more about helping clients and supporting your team than receiving credit. You ask questions, accept coaching, admit mistakes and learn from others.

Hungry. You're curious, motivated and eager to improve. You take responsibility, contribute to a growing company and don't need constant reminders about what needs to be done.

People-smart. You genuinely enjoy connecting with people. You listen well, communicate clearly and understand that every client is different. You encourage without intimidating or judging.

Above all, our best Body Coaches genuinely care about people.

What You'll Do

As a Body Coach, you'll take ownership of the client's StretchPlex experience from session to session.

Responsibilities include:

• Delivering safe, high-quality one-on-one assisted stretching sessions
• Providing personal training or other services appropriate to your credentials
• Learning each client's goals, limitations, preferences and reasons for coming to StretchPlex
• Building relationships that help clients feel comfortable, supported and understood
• Encouraging clients and celebrating meaningful progress
• Maintaining accurate client notes
• Helping clients stay consistent by scheduling future appointments
• Recognizing when continued or expanded services may benefit a client and recommending appropriate next stepsFollowing up with clients and taking ownership of retention
• Collaborating with Body Coaches, studio leadership and physical therapy partners
• Maintaining a clean, safe and professional studio
• Participating in team meetings, continuing education and StretchPlex training
• Being accountable for your schedule, responsibilities and results

Who We're Looking For

We are particularly interested in candidates with backgrounds such as:

• Certified Personal Trainer
• Physical Therapist Assistant
• Exercise Science or Kinesiology graduate
• Licensed Massage Therapist
• Pilates Instructor
• Yoga Instructor
• Athletic Trainer
• Other movement, fitness or wellness professionals with relevant hands-on experience

Relevant certification and/or a four-year degree in Exercise Science, Kinesiology or a related field is preferred.

Credentials alone won't make someone successful here. You should also:

• Enjoy working one-on-one with people
• Be an excellent listener and communicator
• Have empathy and patience
• Be comfortable working with adults of different ages and ability levels
• Be interested in mobility, strength, healthy aging and long-term wellness
• Enjoy learning and receiving feedback
• Be reliable, professional and accountable
• Work well as part of a team
• Be comfortable discussing continuing care and recommending appropriate services
• Take ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do
• Believe a client's success matters more than your own ego

This May Not Be the Right Job for You If...

If you're primarily looking for a gym where you can train your own way, build a personal following, or simply complete appointments and go home, StretchPlex probably isn't the right fit.

Our Body Coaches communicate, keep learning, accept coaching, help one another and take responsibility for the overall client experience.

We're building something bigger than a collection of individual trainers.

Training

Every new Body Coach completes the StretchPlex Body Coach Training Program, combining online education with in-person, hands-on training.

We'll teach you the StretchPlex system. We are looking for people who bring curiosity, professionalism and a desire to master it.

Why StretchPlex?

StretchPlex is for people who want their work to have a deeper purpose.

You’ll get to know your clients and help them continue playing golf, traveling, gardening, exercising, playing with grandchildren or simply moving through daily life with greater confidence.

That’s the work.

If you are curious, accountable, caring and excited about helping people stay strong, move well and keep doing the things they love, we'd love to hear from you.
