How To Apply: Apply by sending your resume to this posting along with a brief description of why you think you'd be a good fit for Infinity Athletics.
Dear prospective Infinity Trainer, thank you for taking the time to read this. It's my hope you have precisely what we need in a Personal Trainer so we can put you to work in the fun and rewarding coaching position we have available.
Let me briefly tell you about the coaching position and our company.
Our business is dedicated to helping people achieve their health and fitness goals through customized nutrition, fitness, and performance programs with an emphasis on tailoring the workout for the client.
We are looking for a motivated, self-starter trainer who can easily get referrals and build their own schedule from the ground up. We have limited hour initially to offer but you ability to get your client to refer others to you will allow you to build up clientele quickly.
We currently offer one-on-one customized fitness programs, group coaching classes, and nutrition counseling, which educate, motivate, and support people to improve their health, fitness and performance.
All clients who start with our program get nutrition counseling, exercise program design, fitness assessments, and weekly training sessions here at Infinity Athletics.
If you are hired for this coaching position, you will begin coaching clients around your schedule in the studio Monday-Friday and weekends depending on your availability. This is a part time position with a lot of room to grow and will start at about 6 hours per week but take off to 20-30 hours per week depending on your ability to get referrals. There is no cap on your ability to work and get new clients through refferals.
Your pay will be at least $20 per hour with more offered per hour based on hours worked. Our gym offers a casual, fun environment, nice training equipment, and the opportunity to learn the inner-workings of a successful personal training studio. We want someone who enjoys working with people and making a difference in the lives of others...because that's what we do in our gym.
Tasks you'll be expected to perform:
Tracking client progress. To ensure a client's success in our programs, you'll need to track weekly progress, current successes and challenges, review client nutrition and exercise log worksheets, and more on a weekly basis. It will be your job to hold a client accountable to his/her health, fitness, and performance program to ensure the best results possible.
Perform fitness evaluations. Ideally, you'll have some fitness assessment skills and can test for: body composition, body weight, girth measurements, blood pressure, heart rate, and various strength and flexibility tests. We will help train you on these if something is new to you.
Coach clients through a Personal/Semi-private program. You'll be responsible for weekly exercise sessions and keeping detailed weekly progress reports on the clients you're working with. If a client is having challenges throughout his/her program, you'll coach and motivate them, and make appropriate changes to ensure consistent progress.
Demonstrate proper exercise instruction. We need you to be able to provide proper coaching, instruction, and motivation during a client training session. You should have a working knowledge of the human body (i.e. muscles, movements, functions, etc.), and be able to provide appropriate exercises for client's goals.
Provide ongoing health and fitness education. Our clients rely on us to service all of their health and fitness needs. It is your job as a fitness coach to provide your clients with health and fitness education on various topics that empower them to lead healthy lives forever. You'll be provided with educational tools and resources, be expected to study them, and speak about them with your clients. We also spend time covering this in our weekly staff meetings.
Develop comprehensive health and fitness programs for clients.
Required Skills:
Good communication skills are essential. 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.
We will teach you everything you need to do during a training session with our methodology.
People skills and personality. You must LOVE working with people!
Bonus Skills / encouraged
