Part-Time Small Group Personal Trainer

Job Description

Job Description

We're not a big box gym. We're a boutique studio built around real relationships, real results, and clients who are in it for the long haul. We specialize in 1-on-1 and semi-private training for adults who are done with the hamster wheel and ready to build something that actually lasts.

We're looking for a part-time trainer who gets that — someone who shows up prepared, coaches with intention, and genuinely cares about the people in front of them.

$25 - $40 hourly

• Lead semi-private and small group training sessions — reading the room, meeting clients where they are, and programming with purpose
• Conduct Quarterly fitness tests and goal check-ins so clients always know where they stand and where they're headed
• Design and deliver individualized programs that account for each client's history, goals, and life outside the gym
• Coach proper movement and technique every session — not just when someone's brand new
• Contribute to a client retention culture (we aim for less than 3% churn — that's not an accident)
• Show up for staff meetings and continuing education — we take professional growth seriously around here
• Handle client concerns with the same care you'd want if you were on the other side

• Current PT certification through ACE, NASM, AFAA, ACSM, or similar — or the drive to obtain one within 3 months of hire
• Current CPR/AED certification (or same 3-month window)
• 1+ year of experience coaching clients, ideally with some small group or semi-private background
• A degree in an exercise-related field is a bonus, not a dealbreaker
• Someone who can confidently train all fitness levels — beginners to athletes — and actually enjoys the variety
• Strong communicator who can connect with a 38-year-old coming back from injury and a 55-year-old training for their first 5K in the same afternoon
• Comfortable with change, detail-oriented, and self-motivated enough to work in a small team environment
• Able to safely lift and move up to 40 lbs

We're a tight-knit team in a studio that punches above its weight. Clients aren't just members — they're regulars who remember your name, bring their friends, and stick around for years. If you want to actually coach (not just be a cheerleader, count reps, and check boxes), this is the place.
