• Experience : Previous experience as a personal trainer or fitness coach (especially 1+ yrs) is essential.
• Experience with EMS training is a strong plus (if you've used EMS technology before, even better), but we will provide training for the right candidate.
• Passion & Energy : We seek someone client-centric, high-energy, and truly passionate about helping people succeed in their fitness journey. You should have excellent communication skills and a heart that beats for helping others. – you love seeing clients achieve their goals.
• Team Player : A positive attitude, reliability, and the ability to work well in a close-knit team is non-negotiable. Our studio culture is one of support and camaraderie, so you should thrive in a collaborative environment.
• Additional Skills : Basic sales or customer service skills are a bonus (as you'll help guide new clients and encourage them on their wellness journey).
• Strong organisational skills and comfort with fitness tech or gadgets will also help you succeed in this role.

What We Offer

• Employment Type : Full-time position with a competitive basic salary + commission structure (earn rewards for hitting performance or client membership targets).
• Training & Growth : Opportunity to work with innovative EMS fitness technology and ongoing professional development. You'll receive in-depth training on Body20's EMS system and have access to our Body20 Coach Academy resources.
• In-Studio Benefits : Being part of the Body20 family means you'll join a passionate team in a fun, supportive environment. Enjoy team building activities, a fitness-casual dress code, and even the potential to use the studio's facilities for your own workouts.
• Impact & Recognition : This is a chance to make a real impact on people's lives every day. As a valued coach at a leading EMS studio, your success with clients will be recognised and appreciated.
