Tx Gym Jobs (NOW HIRING)

R.A.D® is a performance footwear company rooted in training, with an aesthetic influenced by the lifestyle subcultures of skateboarding and surfing. Launched in 2022 and making waves in the training market against some of the biggest footwear companies on the planet, we are an underdog - committed to breaking the outdated stereotypes that portray sport and training as macho, intimidating, or uninviting. Sport is woven into all aspects of society and has long been a catalyst for positive change.

We believe the joy of sport is enhanced bya holistic approachto the lifestyle surrounding it, with a focus on three key areas: training, competition, and community.

You can spot a partnerwho'sauthentic and credible within their trainingmethodology, negotiate a fair deal, and track whetherit'sactually working.You'reas comfortable having a coffee with a coach as you are pulling together a performance report for the leadership team.

You'reorganized and self-directed. Operating remotely and largely independently, you manage your own time, prioritize with purpose, and stay closelyalignedandin syncwith the widerCommunityteamand theorganization as a whole.
