Full-Time Personal Trainer / Fitness Coach

About the Role

Fitness Evolution is hiring a full-time personal trainer to join our coaching team.

This is a W-2, in-person role designed for a coach who wants long-term stability, professional growth, and a supportive team environment — not a space to run an independent business.

Our goal is simple:

This is the last gym our clients ever join — and the last place you’ll ever need to work.


Who This Role Is For

This position is a great fit if you:

  • Are empathetic, energetic, and people-focused
  • Take pride in communication and customer service
  • Enjoy working within systems and a team
  • Want to grow as a coach with mentorship and support
  • Are looking for a full-time career role in fitness

This role is not a fit if you are:

  • Running your own training business
  • Seeking a part-time or supplemental role
  • Looking to bring your own clients

  • What Makes This Role Different

    We’ve intentionally removed many of the common stressors in personal training roles:

    • No unpaid hours writing programs
    • No 12-hour split days
    • No pressure to find or sell clients
    • No aggressive sales or external marketing
    • No risk of losing access to your training facility

    Your focus is on coaching and client experience.

    Our focus is on structure, systems, and stability.


    Key Responsibilities

    Coaching

    • Lead small-group training sessions
    • Coach proper form, technique, and movement quality
    • Support clients through challenges and celebrate progress

    Programming

    • Execute our established programming model
    • Progress, regress, and modify exercises as needed

    Accountability & Retention

    • Build strong relationships with clients
    • Follow proven accountability and retention protocols
    • Deliver consistent, high-quality client experiences

    Internal Marketing

    • Participate in internal initiatives as directed
    • No external marketing or sales required

  • Qualifications

    Preferred (but not required):

    • Personal training certification, relevant degree, and 1 year experience

    What matters most:

    • Strong interpersonal and customer service skills
    • Excellent verbal and phone communication
    • Professional, dependable, and team-oriented
    • High energy and willingness to learn
    • Desire to positively impact clients’ lives

    If you’re passionate about fitness and helping others — and open to learning or certification — we provide training and ongoing development.

    Physical requirement: Must be able to lift 45 lbs.


    Compensation & Benefits
    • $23–$28/hour (based on experience)
    • Full-time W-2 position (36–38 hours/week)
    • Consistent schedule
    • Company-provided uniforms
    • Continuing education and in-services
    • Free gym membership and training

    Benefits include:

    • Health insurance
    • Paid time off
    • Employee discounts
    • Professional development assistance
    • Opportunities for advancement
