About the Role

Thunder Fitness is looking for an experienced Personal Trainer who wants to build a career in the fitness industry beyond simply coaching training sessions.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys working directly with clients but also wants to develop skills in assessments, program prescription, sales, client onboarding, nutrition, accountability and leadership.

We are looking for someone who understands that great coaching is about more than exercise selection. It is about understanding the person in front of you, identifying what they need, communicating clearly and helping them follow through.

We're looking for someone who is equally comfortable sitting down with a client, having a meaningful conversation, asking the right questions and building a strong professional relationship.

What You'll Do

• Coach small group, semi-private and personal training sessions
• Conduct new-client assessments
• Meet with prospective clients to understand their goals, challenges and needs
• Help determine and prescribe the appropriate Thunder Fitness program
• Participate in the sales and enrollment process
• Help clients understand their training, nutrition and accountability plan
• Onboard new clients and guide them through the beginning of their program
• Build strong client relationships and help drive consistency, retention and results
• Communicate with clients throughout their program
• Work collaboratively with the coaching team
• Assist with trainer coverage and scheduling as needed
• Take on additional leadership and operational responsibilities as you develop within the company

A Different Kind of Training Career

We don't believe the only way for a trainer to increase their income is to fill their schedule with more training sessions.

Coaching back-to-back sessions all day can eventually lead to burnout. We are looking for someone who wants to develop multiple skills and multiple ways to contribute to the business.

Your role can include coaching, assessments, program prescription, sales, client onboarding, nutrition/accountability meetings and eventually leadership responsibilities.

Thunder Fitness provides the clients. You will not be expected to spend your time cold prospecting or building your own book of business.

The goal is to help you become more valuable within the business while creating a career that isn't dependent on coaching every hour of the day.

Who We're Looking For

• Experienced Personal Trainer with a strong understanding of coaching and exercise
• Someone who genuinely enjoys working with people
• Comfortable sitting down with clients and having professional, meaningful conversations
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Interested in learning assessments, program prescription and sales
• Comfortable discussing nutrition, accountability and lifestyle habits with clients
• Professional, reliable and organized
• Coachable and open to feedback
• Interested in developing leadership skills
• Looking for a long-term opportunity rather than simply a place to train clients

This Role Is Not For

• Someone who isn't willing to learn and grow
• Someone who isn't dependable, prepared or accountable
• Someone who doesn't take pride in their work
• Someone who isn't comfortable receiving feedback
• Someone who doesn't enjoy working with people
• Someone who prefers to work completely independently rather than as part of a team
• Someone who is only looking for a place to train their own clients

Growth Opportunities

The initial role is designed to begin around 15–20 hours per week, with the opportunity to grow toward 40 hours as you take on additional responsibilities.

As you develop within Thunder Fitness, there is potential to take on greater responsibility in areas such as client experience, assessments, sales, trainer development, scheduling and operations.

We are looking for someone who wants to grow with the business and become an important part of the team.

Compensation

$25–$100+ per hour based on experience, responsibilities and contribution.

The position provides opportunities to earn through coaching as well as additional responsibilities such as assessments, sales and other areas of the business.

Why Thunder Fitness

Thunder Fitness has been serving the local community since 2007. Our approach combines fitness, nutrition and accountability to help adults achieve sustainable results.

We are building a team of professionals who care about their clients, take pride in their work and want to continue developing their skills.

If you're an experienced trainer looking for an opportunity to do more than simply coach sessions, we'd like to meet you.

Pay: $25.00 - $100.00 per hour
