What’s in it for you:

A job where you can show up and do what you’re passionate about, helping people reach their goals. Our trainers do not do membership sales on the floor or ever if they do not want to, we want you to focus on what you do best. We’re looking for people who want to grow & be a part of something special and really help change lives, not just people who want to show up train and leave.

You’re going to work alongside one of the best trainers in the industry, we promise you will learn more in months than you have in your entire career. We encourage continued growth & education, so much that we also pay for continuing education courses once you’re fully onboarded.

Pay ranges from $18 per hour to $27 per hour. We have two tracks for employment. One is for experienced coaches which includes an accelerated onboarding. For those who are new or who have never coached before we have a thorough, initial 4-8 week apprenticeship program. Our coaching jobs are part-time now but there is an opportunity to grow & even enter management, nutrition coaching and/or sales positions as we as a gym grow. To start you’ll be looking at 8-25 hours a week. With the ability to progress to more hours if wanted, as we continue to rapidly grow.

What are we looking for:

• Someone to join our team as a personal trainer/group session trainer
• Someone with a want & willingness to continually improve
• Someone who is extremely good with people, cool & fun to be around
• Someone who is a true professional
• Someone with positive energy
• Someone that cares about changing lives

An ACE, NASM, ISSA, CSCS or NSCA certification is preferred but not required. We will help you get trained and certified if you are not already. In addition, we have a partnership with NASM to help you get certified and to stay on course with your CEUs. 

Fit Code Core Values:
The reason for this has a lot to do with our Staff Core Values. Read on and see if our values are your values too. Because values rarely change so it’s important that we share them.

• Continuous Improvement as a Way Of Life: Do you enjoy reading, take courses, learn, and grow personally on your own time? We believe that all of our staff should be continuously learning & we will help facilitate that*
• Deliver Fun: We take fun so seriously that we make it mandatory.
• Pay It Forward: We do a lot of programs to give back to the community and to different charities. We believe that our service to others in the gym should carry on outside the gym as well for the greater good of society.
• Always be A Compassionate Professional: Being able to empathize with our clients is so key. Whether they come in with an issue from home, work or just are not feeling it when they step onto the floor. Members of our team need to empathize and help them refocus their energy for a great and appropriate workout.
• Check Your Ego at the Door: None of us knows it all and it is ok to ask for assistance when needed. It is also important to be able to properly give and receive feedback and part of that means we need to properly put our ego to the side when needed.
• Go Above and Beyond: In order for us to best serve our clientele and our team, we need to support one another toward our mission and purpose. We find new ways to help clients succeed, we help improve current programs and processes and more.

Why what we do is important for the people we work with as our purpose is to Empower Personal Transformations and we do this with our clients by:

• We make sure you don’t have to feel alone on your journey. We share our pain because pain shared is pain divided.
• We help you overcome the negative stories that family members have said about you & the self-defeating beliefs you have about yourself
• We help you become stronger so you can feel more independent
• We help you transform your body so you can stop looking at those clothes in your closet that you can’t fit anymore & can start to love the way you look in the mirror
• We help you escape physical pain by rehabbing your body & adding strength where you need it. We will help you rid the aches & pains in your knees, shoulders & lower back.
• We make sure that you’re always safe, you won’t get hurt in the gym. All of our trainers will focus on form over weight. We care about you & your body.
• We’ll make sure that you never have to feel scared, judged or intimidated in the gym. This is your safe space to grow.
• We take the guesswork out of your fitness journey, but not the hard work. We’ll tell you exactly what to do, making it as easy as possible, but you still have to work to get the results you want.
