  • UNLIMITED spot bonus eligibility: $1,000 per 50 net clients added

The more you grow your team, retain clients, and exceed monthly goals, the more you earn!
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're searching for an inspiring leader who is passionate about the fitness industry, sales, and skilled at balancing people leadership with business results.
  • Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science or related field preferred (or equivalent experience in strength and conditioning, wellness coaching, or fitness management)
  • 3+ years of experience leading and developing high-performing teams
  • At least one NCCA-accredited Personal Training Certification required
