The Opportunity
We currently have multiple established personal training clients ready to be transitioned to a Lead Coach and 3 hungry coaches looking for a leader.
These are real clients, with real history, real expectations, and real trust already built.
You’ll be expected to pick up the baton and manage them at a high level, including:
You’ll be expected to pick up the baton and manage them at a high level, including:
- Programming and progression
- Client communication and retention
- Billing awareness and professionalism
- Delivering results and continuity in their fitness journey
This is not a “start from zero” role — but it does require ownership.
Who You’ll Be Working With
We train at a very high level.
Our coaching environment has included:
- High-level athletes
- Individuals preparing for professional sports
- Clients who expect structure, standards, and results
One of our current coaches has recently been accepted to play professional football this March, and we regularly develop talent that moves on to higher levels.
You’ll be stepping into a department with standards, systems, and expectations already in place.
Your Primary Focus (Phase One)
This role is not management on day one.
Your initial focus will be:
- Building and stabilizing your own client portfolio
- Taking excellent care of transferred clients
- Selling and growing your own personal training book
- Demonstrating consistency, professionalism, and leadership by example
We have:
- 2,000+ active members using the facility weekly
-
100+ new memberships sold per month
- Ongoing advertising and in-house lead flow
If you can coach, communicate, and close — the opportunity is there.
The Leadership Path (Phase Two)
Once you’ve shown you can:
- Carry your own book effectively
- Retain clients
- Sell confidently and ethically
- Operate within our systems
This role naturally evolves into greater leadership responsibility, including:
- Mentoring newer trainers
- Helping develop the coaching team
- Playing a larger role in department growth
We already have a strong team of trainers.
We’re looking for someone who can earn the right to lead them.
Not a Typical Personal Training Gym
We’re looking for someone who can earn the right to lead them.
Not a Typical Personal Training Gym
We are not a traditional personal training gym where trainers are limited to selling sessions only.
Our location operates as a full performance and results-driven environment, offering:
- Personal training packages
- Supplements and nutrition products
- Fitness and nutrition plans
- Body composition scans and assessments
- Additional performance and accountability services
This allows our trainers to:
- Better serve each client’s individual needs
- Create more complete solutions for results
-
Earn significantly more through multiple commission streams, not just training sessions
This model is unique to our location and is a major reason our personal training department consistently performs at a high level.
You will be fully trained and supported in learning how to confidently present and sell a range of products across multiple categories, always with the goal of doing what’s best for the client.
When clients win, coaches win.
Compensation
We pay very well, but we do not hand anything out.
- 25%–33% commission per training session
- Sessions priced up to $100 for 30 minutes
- 10-25% of gross product revenue
- High earning potential for coaches who build and retain clients
This is a performance-based environment.
If you believe in yourself, this role can be extremely rewarding.

- Able to learn systems quickly and execute consistently
- Brings value from past experience without trying to “reinvent everything”
- Team-oriented, leads by example
- Hungry for opportunity, not entitlement
Male or female trainers are welcome.

You will not be micromanaged.
