Job Title: Personal Trainer & Small Group Strength Coach - RockBox Fitness Summerville

About The Role

Are you an ambitious, forward-thinking Personal Trainer looking for a premium space to build a high-income training business?

RockBox Fitness Summerville is launching a dedicated initiative to maximize our studio space during non-class hours. We are seeking an entrepreneurial, results-driven Personal Trainer & Small Group Strength Coach to build and lead our private and semi-private functional strength program.

The modern fitness landscape has evolved. We aren't just looking for someone to count reps; we need a coach who understands the intersection of strength training, metabolic health, and nutrition. With the massive rise of GLP-1 weight-loss medications, our clients need an expert who knows how to pair these therapies with targeted resistance training to preserve lean muscle mass, optimize metabolic rate, and drive long-term lifestyle success.

While you will have direct access to our active member base to source clients, the expectation is that you are a true business builder hungry to market your skills, convert leads, and aggressively grow your own book of business within our facility.

(Note: While RockBox is famous for boxing and kickboxing, the primary focus of this specific role is dedicated functional fitness, nutrition coaching, and strength training - no boxing required for these sessions).

Key Responsibilities

• Build Your Book of Business: Proactively market, sell, and retain clients for 1-on-1 personal training and small group (semi-private) strength sessions during off-peak hours.
• Metabolic & GLP-1 Coaching: Design custom training programs tailored specifically for clients navigating weight-loss journeys, including those utilizing GLP-1 medications. Focus heavily on lean muscle preservation, bone density, and structural strength.
• Nutrition Guidance: Provide actionable nutrition coaching, tracking protein targets, caloric intake, and hydration to support metabolic health and body composition goals.
• Leverage the Community: Actively engage with existing RockBox members on the floor and via digital outreach to introduce them to our strength and nutrition programs.
• Track Client Results: Conduct initial fitness/metabolic assessments, set precise goals, track biometric data, and adjust programming to ensure clients hit tangible targets.
• Versatility (The Plus Factor): Step into the ring to run or sub our signature large-group boxing/kickboxing fitness classes from time to time when needed.

What We Are Looking For

• Proven Client Acquisition: A track record of successfully building, managing, and retaining a private personal training or small-group client book of business.
• The Entrepreneurial Mindset: You want to hunt for leads, close training packages, and directly control your earning potential.
• Certified Experts: A current, nationally recognized Personal Training certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, ISSA, etc.).
• Nutrition Credentials: A verified nutrition certification (Precision Nutrition, NASM-CNC, or similar) is highly preferred.
• Modern Health Literacy: A strong understanding of modern metabolic health and the physiological impact of GLP-1 medications (e.g., managing muscle loss risks, navigating severe caloric deficits, and maintaining training energy).
• Strength Specialists: Deep knowledge of exercise mechanics, hypertrophy, and functional training using kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells, and TRX straps.
• Boxing/Kickboxing Skills (Nice-to-Have): Experience coaching striking is a bonus for subbing regular classes, but your main passion must be functional strength and wellness.

Benefits & Perks

• Uncapped Earning Potential: We offer a high-upside, hybrid compensation structure built for growth.
• Premium Studio Access: Use a fully equipped, top-tier boutique facility during off-peak hours to run your private sessions.
• Built-in Lead Pool: Direct access to hundreds of fitness-focused local members who already know and love the RockBox brand.
• The Perks: Free studio workouts, official gear, and a highly supportive, growth-oriented team culture.
