1-on-1 Strength Coach for STNDRD Scottsdale

WHO WE ARE

STNDRD Coaching is a coaching company for those who refuse to settle. We redefine the fitness and performance industry through assessment-based programming and individualized client care. Our method integrates structural balance testing, neurological profiling, strength training, movement restoration, and nutrition coaching that fuels the process. We don't guess. We assess. From movement patterns to macronutrients, we hold the line on what drives real transformation.

We exist to raise the standard of coaching through integrity, education, and mastery, developing leaders who live the standard they teach.

OVERVIEW

We are seeking a dedicated, high-level coach to join our team; this is not a group fitness job or a role for someone who runs templated programs. At STNDRD, our coaches are movement specialists, educators, and mentors. You will help clients address the real reasons they feel pain, lose motivation, or stop progressing, which means using advanced systems such as posturology, ELDOA, FRC, and Poliquin-based strength methods to drive meaningful change.

Training alone is not enough.

You will also coach clients through the nutritional side of transformation. That includes foundational habits, macronutrient targets, and real-world application; this is not about handing out meal plans. It is about teaching physiology, raising awareness, and helping people live up to the standards they are trying to uphold.

You must understand how nutrition supports performance through hormonal balance and recovery while coaching with that context in mind.

Your job is to lead clients through a clear and proven process. One that demands precision, creates deep connection, and drives results in the gym, in the kitchen, and in how they show up in life.

THE HIRING PROCESS

Joining STNDRD is not a casual step. It's a commitment to mastery. Our process ensures that every coach we bring on is not only technically capable but also aligned with the standard we live by. If you're serious about raising the bar — for yourself and the people you serve — here's how to begin.

Stage 1 - Initial Interview: You'll complete an application, a short written test, and an initial virtual interview. We're looking for more than resumes. We want to understand how you think, what you value, and whether you're the type of coach who takes pride in doing the hard things well.

Stage 2 - Case Study Submission: You'll build a 12-week training and nutrition plan for a hypothetical client. You'll also walk us through real client outcomes you've achieved. Be prepared to explain your approach, the results, and the reasoning behind your decisions.

Stage 3 - Practical Coaching Evaluation: You'll coach a "test" client, either at a STNDRD location or through a live virtual session; this is where we assess your eye for movement, clarity of instruction, and ability to lead with presence. Whether you're in the room or on the screen, the standard doesn't change. Technical skill matters. So does how you show up.

• Stage 4 - Final Interview Panel: The last step is a final interview with senior leadership; this isn't a formality. It's where we assess your alignment with our mission, your long-term goals, and whether you're truly ready to live the standard, not just coach it.
