Fitness Coach

Coach Position - Anytime Fitness Tacoma

Anytime Fitness Tacoma is part of PH Fitness, a family-owned company operating three Anytime Fitness locations on the Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound. We're owned by Evan Hurn and Makayla Payne - and what makes us different isn't just that we're owners who show up. It's how deeply we invest in the people who work for us. We pour into our staff because we know that's what shows up for members. Our Sequim club ranks in the top 100 out of 2,500+ Anytime Fitness clubs in North America and earned the "Most Improved" award in our first year of ownership. Silverdale opened in November 2025 and is growing fast. We acquired Tacoma in March 2026 and we're in the middle of turning it into something exceptional. We're building toward more locations and we're looking for people who want to grow with us. The coach we hire here will have a real path - to become the lead or Senior Coach as we scale the personal training side of this club.

About This Role

This is our first coaching hire at the Tacoma location, and it's a real opportunity. You'll have the chance to build the personal training side of this club from the ground up. As demand grows - and we expect it to - we'll hire a second coach to support what we build. If you can lead, if you can sell, if you can deliver results that members talk about, the path to lead or Senior Coach is here for you. You won't be alone. You'll have the support of the coaching team across our other two locations, our managers, and us as owners. We're hands-on, available, and invested in your success. Once you're up and running - the bulk of your week is spent coaching small group personal training sessions - 1 to 6 clients per session. We follow a programmed approach across all three clubs, but there's real flexibility within it. Programming is a team effort and your input matters. You're not just executing someone else's plan - you're contributing to how we coach.

Who We're Looking For

The right person for this role is someone who:

• Thrives in ambiguity. We don't have everything figured out. Some things will change as we grow. If you need a fully-built playbook to feel comfortable, this isn't your spot.
• Wants to be part of decision-making. We're not going to hand you all the calls, but we expect you to think, push back, and contribute. We can learn something from everyone.
• Believes coaching is a craft. You take the work seriously even when no one's watching.
• Builds real relationships. Members should feel known by you, not just trained by you.
• Knows that fun and excellence aren't opposites. This can genuinely be the best job you've ever had. You get to work in fitness, with people who are showing up to better themselves. That's a privilege.

What You'll Own

• Coaching small group personal training sessions (1-6 clients) following our programmed approach
• Conducting fitness consultations with members - understanding their goals, designing a path forward, and converting those that need the guidance and accountability into training clients
• Personalizing programming for clients within our team programming framework
• New member onboarding - movement assessments, goal-setting, and check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days
• Member retention - proactive outreach to clients who haven't been in recently, celebrating milestones, and following through consistently
• Energy and safety - modifying for different ability levels, coaching technique in real time
• Club presence - being a real, visible part of the team beyond your sessions
• Team contribution - weekly team meetings, ongoing development, helping us improve how we coach

What Success Looks Like

• First 90 days: You've completed onboarding, started building your client roster, learned our programming, and members are asking for you by name
• First 6 months: You have a full and growing client roster. Personal training revenue at Tacoma is meaningfully higher than when you started. You're contributing to team meetings.
• First year: You're a known entity in the club. The lead or Senior Coach role is realistic if you've demonstrated you can hit it. You're making an impact on not just the people in your club, but in the company as well.
