Job description

Staff Physical Therapist (DPT) – Sports & Orthopedics

Fit Club Physical Therapy & Sports Performance | Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY

Not Your Typical Physical Therapy Job.

Are you a physical therapist who loves working with active people, enjoys the gym environment, and wants the autonomy to treat patients the way you believe they should be treated?

At Fit Club Physical Therapy & Sports Performance, we’re looking for a motivated, personable, and team-oriented Physical Therapist to join our Williamsburg location.

Our clinic is located inside a gym, giving our therapists access to a dynamic environment where rehabilitation, strength training, and sports performance come together.

We work with runners, lifters, recreational athletes, weekend warriors, and everyday New Yorkers who want to move better, get stronger, and return to doing what they love.

We believe great physical therapy goes beyond the treatment table.

What Makes Fit Club Different?

• One-on-One Patient Care: Spend meaningful time with your patients rather than juggling multiple people simultaneously.
• Clinical Autonomy: We trust our therapists to think critically, develop individualized treatment plans, and make clinical decisions.
• Gym-Based Environment: Take rehab beyond traditional treatment rooms and incorporate strength training, functional movement, and performance-based exercises.
• Active Patient Population: Work with motivated patients who want to get back to running, lifting, competing, and living active lives.
• Team-Oriented Culture: Collaborate with clinicians who share ideas, support one another, and work toward common goals.
• Professional Growth: Build your clinical skills, confidence, and professional relationships in an environment that encourages continued development.

Who We're Looking For

We love hiring former athletes and individuals with athletic backgrounds.

Why? Because athletes understand accountability, communication, preparation, teamwork, and what it means to work toward a common goal.

You don't have to be a former athlete to succeed here, but you should bring that same mindset to your work.

Our ideal candidate is someone who:

• Enjoys treating active individuals and orthopedic conditions.
• Is passionate about strength training, exercise, and sports performance.
• Communicates clearly and builds meaningful relationships with patients.
• Values autonomy but understands the importance of collaboration.
• Takes ownership of their patients' progress and overall experience.
• Is coachable, open to feedback, and interested in professional development.
• Brings positive energy, professionalism, and accountability to the workplace.
• Is comfortable educating patients and helping them understand the bigger picture of their rehabilitation.

Qualifications

• Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from an accredited program.
• Current New York State Physical Therapist license or eligibility for licensure.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Interest in orthopedic rehabilitation, sports medicine, and strength and conditioning.
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team.
• New graduates with a strong interest in sports and orthopedics are encouraged to apply.

Bonus, but not required:

• Previous athletic or competitive sports experience.
• CSCS or strength and conditioning background.
• Experience treating runners, lifters, or recreational athletes.
• Experience working in a sports performance or gym-based rehabilitation setting.

Why Join Fit Club?

We're building something different in New York City.

Our goal is to bridge the gap between traditional physical therapy and performance training while delivering a level of personalized care that patients genuinely value.

We're looking for clinicians who want to grow with us, contribute to our culture, and take pride in the work they do.

If you're the type of physical therapist who gets excited watching a patient return to running, hit a new squat PR, or regain the confidence to move without fear, you'll feel right at home.
