Are you interested in becoming a personal fitness trainer?   BODY20 is a great way to gain entry to the fitness industry.
BODY20 is a new boutique fitness studio offering personal training with FDA-cleared Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology.  One 20 minute workout is equivalent to hours in the gym so you can build muscle and burn calories without the need for heavy weights and impact on the joints. 
Our entry level personal trainer roles do not require you to obtain a personal training certification (in fact you'll get discounts if you want to pursue a NASM or AFAA cert), or require previous fitness experience.  The main requirement is a friendly disposition, some personal experience with fitness, and passion to help members improve their lives through fitness!
If you want to be at the intersection of fitness and technology and work for a rapidly growing brand on the cutting edge of the market, this may be the exact career opportunity you have been looking for.
Benefits and Perks

  • Consistent schedule - we schedule you for a shift and our members will book themselves into the timeslots  
  • Free Studio Membership
  • Product discounts
  • Fitness casual dress-code
  • Paid company training
  • Significant discounts for NASM & AFAA fitness training certifications
  • Access to a specialized medical plan with low premiums
  • Positive and collaborative work environment
  • Opportunity for promotion and career growth as the studio grows and more studios are opened
Responsibilities
  • Help members and prospective members suit up in our EMS wearables, and guide them through personal training sessions.

  • Clean and maintain the studio and equipment
  • Generate referrals by providing world class service and asking the members to bring their friends

  • May be called upon to assist with some sales and other activities if the training schedule is not fully booked
  • Essential Physical Requirements -- Must be able to perform all essential physical aspects of the position which may include standing, sitting, running, walking, jumping, squatting, bending, and reaching, as well as pushing, pulling and lifting up to 50 lbs in the course of normal studio operations and/or demonstrate the workouts to members
