Summary

WestFit is seeking a dynamic and knowledgeable Personal Trainer to join our dedicated team. This is an excellent dual-purpose role designed for a motivated individual who is passionate about launching or building a successful career in personal training.

You will spend a significant portion of your time on the gym floor, serving as a primary resource for our members. Your responsibilities include providing expert assistance with exercise form, answering fitness-related questions, and ensuring a safe, positive, and clean training environment for everyone.

In addition, you will be empowered to establish and grow your own personal training business within our club. You will be responsible for client acquisition, conducting fitness assessments, consultations, developing personalized workout programs, and managing your own schedule.

The ideal candidate holds a recognized personal training certification, possesses strong communication skills, and has a genuine enthusiasm for helping people achieve their fitness goals.

As a valued team member, you'll receive a complimentary fitness center membership.

This position offers a base hourly wage as a Personal Trainer. The primary goal of this role is to successfully transition to a commission-based Personal Trainer role.

To achieve this, you will have 90 days to achieve a set personal training sales target. This period is designed to give you the opportunity to build your own client base and prove your ability to generate business. After 90 days the weekly floor hours are removed.

• Guaranteed Base Pay: Start with a steady hourly wage of $15.00 per hour while you're on the floor. You'll have 10 hours of guaranteed floor time per week. Use this time to build rapport, conduct assessments, and sign your first clients.
• Unlimited Earning Potential: Your primary goal is to hit your sales targets and transition to a commission-based Personal Trainer role. Once you've built your roster (typically at the 90-day mark), the hourly floor shifts are removed so you can focus entirely on high-earning training sessions.
• Business Ownership: We provide the facility, the equipment, and the members—you provide the expertise and keep the rewards of the business you grow.
