  • Company-paid certifications
  • Paid for training with evidence-based strength training equipment
  • No work on Sundays
  • Significant growth potential
  • Competitive pay

The Role of a Certified Exercise Coach:
As a Certified Exercise Coach at The Exercise Coach, you will deliver One-on-One and Small Group exercise instruction to clients of all ages. The day-to-day work will never get boring with plenty of activity and variety! Some of the things you would do in a regular week might look like this:
  • Conducting initial consultations
  • Lead individual and small-group exercise sessions 
  • Track fitness results for clients and lead client education
  • Grow the business through selling monthly and package sessions
  • Measure success by tracking studio metrics 
  • Administrative work throughout the studio
This role is great for you if you have:
  • Passion for Health & Fitness: This is where it all begins! 
  • Good Communication Skills: You must be comfortable conversing in person and on the phone and know how to conduct yourself professionally, and deliver clear instructions to the clients.
  • People skills and personality: You must LOVE working with people! As mentioned above you must be very comfortable working with people. This is an exciting studio and you must be able to show your clients energy and excitement while working with them. 
At The Exercise Coach, we're building more than a fitness studio—we're building a team that genuinely cares about one another and the people we serve. We believe the best coaches are kind, encouraging, energetic, and passionate about helping others improve their health and quality of life. Every day, we celebrate our clients' victories together, support one another, and create an environment where both our members and our team enjoy coming to work.
If you're looking for a workplace where your impact matters, your teammates have your back, and you can make a real difference in people's lives, we'd love to meet you.
