Job description

Elevate your career as a fitness professional at Focused Individual Training (FIT), a premier training facility in Los Altos, CA. At FIT, we believe training should be purposeful, progressive, and built around each client’s unique goals. Our coaching goes beyond workouts—we help clients develop lifelong habits for strength, health, and performance.

We are looking for experienced, growth-oriented fitness professionals who are passionate about coaching and committed to building long-term client relationships. This is an opportunity to be part of a highly respected training facility where you can develop your skills and work alongside a team of knowledgeable, like-minded professionals.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation based on experience and availability
• Employer-supported health insurance to prioritize your well-being
• IRA with company matching
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Subsidized continuing education (recent certifications include CFSC, OPEX, and Precision Nutrition)
• No sales quotas—your focus is coaching, not cold-calling
• A supportive, professional environment with experienced colleagues

Compensation and Career Growth

Trainers at FIT are employees, not independent contractors, which provides stability and support. Compensation is structured to reward expertise, experience, and commitment.

Working as a full-time trainer in Silicon Valley requires balancing client demand with the realities of a split-shift schedule. While making a strong income as a trainer is possible, it depends on your ability to manage a full client load and sustain a long-term, consistent schedule. We are looking for professionals who see this as a career and are committed to growing within it.

What Makes FIT Different?

• Established, loyal clientele – No need to find clients; our demand exceeds capacity
• Administrative Support – We handle scheduling, billing, and client communication
• Collaborative Team Culture – Work alongside experienced professionals in a supportive, team-oriented environment
• Commitment to Growth – We invest in ongoing education and professional development

Who We’re Looking For

• Passionate about helping clients move, feel, and live better through thoughtful coaching and education
• Highly motivated and committed to continuous learning and professional growth
• Dedicated to exercise prescription that is purposeful, progressive, and tailored to individual client needs
• A strong communicator who builds trust, accountability, and motivation with clients
• A team player who thrives in a collaborative, supportive coaching environment
• Looking to build a long-term career in fitness, not just a short-term opportunity

Requirements

• Previous training/coaching experience (2+ years preferred)
• Degree in a health-related field (preferred but not required)
• Certification from an accredited organization (NSCA, NATA, NASM, OPEX, CrossFit Inc., or equivalent)
• CPR/AED certification
