Job Description

Job Description

Who we are

We are a locally owned and operated functional strength and fitness studio in Millcreek, Utah. Our passion is helping people of all ages improve their lives through strength and fitness. Our members are special- they enjoy challenging themselves and pushing hard in their workouts, they care about each other and look to build others up, and they like having fun in their training! This all creates a special environment that makes coaching at 212 fun and enjoyable.

Our coaching team also has a strong bond- we come together regularly to update each other on member's progress and to help each other continue to grow as coaches and trainers. We truly are a team- there is true camaraderie and care for each other and our development.

Requirements

At least 2 years of experience as a group strength coach or personal trainer, and an active NSCA, NASM, ACE, or ACSM certification (or a degree in Exercise Science or related field). Sorry, no exceptions.

What you'll do

We are looking for an experienced trainer to lead our group training program (12-15 sessions per week) and who is driven to add an additional 8-12 personal training sessions to their schedule. We take pride in helping our coaches fill their schedules and you'll get plenty of support from us - we simply ask that you provide great training and jump on opportunities to train new members!

You will lead group classes through 212's existing program, but we also want you to contribute to the programming. We will teach you our goals and methodologies so that you can program your own training cycles within your first 90 days at 212. You will be able to program workouts for personal training members independently from day one, while still being provided with programming support from the 212 coaching team.

We want you to provide members with the coaching basics- instruction on how to perform exercises correctly and safely and give individual feedback on their movement. We also want you to help them take their workouts further- modifying workouts and exercises as necessary for each individual so they get the most out of their training and bringing an extra level of excitement and enthusiasm to the workouts, so the members leave feeling better than when they came in.

Qualifications

You should have high character, care about the success of the members, strive for excellence and be driven to improve. We ask our lead group coach to be detail oriented, as this is critical for the success of our members.

An outgoing, energetic personality is a must- we want our members to push themselves, but also to enjoy training!

Candidates must have at least 2 years of experience in personal training or group fitness coaching in a professional setting, including at least 1 year coaching groups of 8 or more members.

We require all our coaches and trainers to hold an active certification and accept certifications through NSCA, NASM, ACSM or ACE. A degree in exercise science or related field is preferred. We also require our coaches and trainers to have an active CPR/AED certification.

Why 212 Fitness

We are passionate about helping our members improve their lives through strength and fitness. It is so rewarding to hear the impact that the training at 212 has on our members' lives and it's hearing these wins that will excite you to come in and work hard every day.

We want our members to work hard while having fun, and you'll experience that as a coach at 212. Our team pushes and supports each other to continue to grow, and the members make coming into work each day enjoyable.

We offer competitive pay ($28–$60 per session*), opportunities to grow in your coaching (both in additional training sessions and career development) and benefits like paid time off (kicks in after your initial probationary period) and becoming eligible for health insurance when you're full-time (30+ hours/week).

*Exact rate based on experience, certifications and session type; discussed in first interview.

Schedule

Our preferred schedule for group training coverage:

• Early morning Monday
• Evening Tuesday
• Evening Wednesday
• Late morning Thursday
• Early morning Friday
• 1 Friday evening and Saturday morning per month

This is our ideal fit, but we have some flexibility for the right candidate—if your availability is close but not exact, we still want to hear from you.

On top of that, we're looking for flex availability middays and on one additional morning and one additional evening per week to take on personal training clients.

Interested? Let's talk.

Ready to join a team that trains hard, works with integrity, and genuinely cares about the people we coach? Apply today — we review applications daily and respond within 48 hours.

We're a locally owned group and personal training studio in the Salt Lake/East Millcreek area, focused on building real, functional strength. Here's what sets us apart from most gyms:

We care about how our members move and feel in their actual lives — hiking, skiing, keeping up with their kids or grandkids — not just winning a workout.
We never sacrifice safety for progress.
We assess each person individually so their program is safe, effective, and built around them.
We program with intention — real periodization, not random workouts.
