Job Description and Details:

Unlike the conventional health-club setting, The Exercise Coach® is very professional and distraction-free; offering clients what would be more accurately described as clinical exercise, rather than the latest fitness craze in a crowded, intimidating environment.

Seeking a Personal Trainer or Physical Therapy Technician, preferably with a degree in Exercise Science or Kinesiology interested in working as a Part-Time Exercise Coach (Personal Trainer and Stretch Coach) in a fun, team-based environment where we work with clients 1-on-1 to transform their health and fitness in only 20 minutes, twice a week.

Must currently live in the Greater Phoenix Area, preferably in or near the Gilbert area, or be comfortable commuting to Gilbert. A university degree in Exercise Science, Kinesiology or related field is preferred, along with at least 2 years of personal training and/or physical therapy technician experience.
