Semi-Private Personal Trainer at MPPT

Job Description

Job Description

This is not a job for a trainer who just counts reps.

We are looking for a coach who pays attention, thinks critically, and takes pride in doing things the right way.

If you are serious about your craft, open to feedback, and want to grow into a high-level coach, we would love to meet you.

Made Possible Personal Training (MPPT)

We are a semi-private strength training studio in downtown St. Petersburg. We are building professionals, not just filling shifts.

We work with busy adults, professionals, and many clients 50+. Most of our members are not traditional “gym people.” They rely on us for clarity, structure, and intelligent coaching.

We don’t just coach workouts. We teach clients how their bodies work so they can move with confidence for life.

Many of our clients have struggled for years before finding us. Your role is to help them feel capable again.

How We Operate

You will not be responsible for selling. Our leadership team handles that so you can focus fully on coaching.

Programming is provided when you start. Your responsibility is to deliver it at a high level:

• Clear cueing
• Smart regressions and progressions
• Strong session flow
• A high-quality member experience

All coaches work with all clients. This creates a collaborative environment where everyone improves together.

Our Training Model

All sessions are semi-private and individualized.

Semi-2
1 coach : 2 clients
High connection, detailed coaching, real-time feedback

Semi-4
1 coach : 4 clients
Requires leadership, organization, presence, and attention to detail

This model develops real coaching skill. You will learn how to see, think, and adjust in real time.

What You Will Gain

• Structured 6–10 week onboarding process
• Ongoing mentorship and feedback
• Clear coaching standards and expectations
• Experience with a diverse adult population
• Exposure to strength + rehab-informed principles
• Opportunity to grow into more hours and responsibility

We are organized, professional, and committed to getting better. We expect high standards and support you in reaching them.

Qualifications

• Minimum 2 years of personal training experience
• Minimum 4 years of consistent strength training background
• Nationally accredited certification (ACSM, NSCA, NASM, ACE, ISSA, etc.)
• Strong communication and people skills
• Ability to coach multiple clients at once
• Reliable, organized, and open to feedback
• Comfortable using basic technology (tablet, scheduling systems, etc.)
• Works well within a team environment

Exercise Science degree and rehab experience is a plus, not required.

Responsibilities

• Deliver individualized strength sessions with detail
• Provide effective cueing, regressions, and progressions
• Support and guide members toward their goals
• Participate in team education and development
• Contribute to daily studio operations (cleanliness, communication)
• Uphold the mission and standards of MPPT

Compensation & Growth

• Paid onboarding and shadowing ($15–$20/hour)
• Coaching pay starting at $25–34/coaching hour
• Clear pathway for growth as your coaching skill increases
• Performance-based raises
• Retirement options for long-term team members (1.5+ years)
• Professional development support
• Flexible part-time schedule
• Starting at 10–15 hours per week with room to grow

This is NOT the right fit if you:

• Prefer high-energy group classes over detailed coaching
• Like to follow workouts more than understand them
• Struggle to manage multiple clients at once
• Want a plug-and-play job without feedback or growth
