Thanks for visiting this site. As we approach the grand opening party of our relocated site (sometime Oct. 2023), I am keeping an look out for a good staff team. We plan to hire 1-3 personal trainers as needed. We will need trainers to cover morning, evening and possibly lunch slots. In Memphis we saw clients as early as 5 a.m. and finished as late at 7 p.m. Since we are growing the business we might need Saturday trainers when requested. As your clients grow then you may wish to add additional hours. Also, with the popularity of zoom training you have the ability to train clients via zoom when they or you are traveling to make sure working out is always a lifestyle choice and no pauses keep clients from reaching their goals. 

It's my hope that you possess precisely what I am looking for in a trainer so we can get you started learning our proven Energize Method so you can start getting results for our clients.

You should have arrived here because you saw my employment ad on social media, our website or Craig's List that reads like this:
 
About me & my company:

Our Mission is to Inspire Optimal Health & Wellness through: Empowerment, Education, Coaching, and Training in a safe and Non-Intimidating Atmosphere. We have evolved to include more mindfulness and whole body self-alignment.

There will be a 30 day trial period. Trainers that have been the best & happiest have had this position in addition to having employment or clients elsewhere. That said should you be amazing at your job there's a great chance you will have more clients available to you.

• Answering door (this is only for prospects that do not have the door code), greeting clients/prospects, and returning phone calls & texts from your clients or prospects.
  

• Lead Clients through Done for You Comprehensive Health & Fitness Programs: 
  

• Tracking Client Progress:  In order to ensure a client's success in our programs, it is necessary to write down date of workout, sets, reps, what hurts on a client, modifications made to exercises, etc.. This is so easy as the cards have pictures and space for this information tracking.During post fitness assessments you will have clients fill out accountability worksheet.  As needed you will review client nutrition logs (for those that actually turn them in).  It will be your job to hold a client accountable to his/her health & fitness program to ensure the best results possible. This ones' a biggie as we need follow through from you to keep the clients happy, reaching their goals, telling their friends how great you are, obtaining new clients, etc..
  
  
• Perform Fitness Evaluations: Ideally, you'll have some assessment skills and can test for body composition, body weight, girth, blood pressure, heart rate, and various strength and flexibility tests.  You do not need previous experience, but if you do that's a BONUS in my book and will help you retain clients at a much higher rate.  Clients get tested every 6 weeks or 12 workouts. We have added functional movement screens to our assessments which clients love and help us choose the right core and exercises for their programs.
  

• Coach clients:  You'll be responsible for training clients for 2-4 times per week 30 minute exercise sessions (or when workout is complete!) either in semi-private personal training (1 trainer- 2 to 3 clients- the majority of our clients do this type of session) or private personal training. If a client is having challenges throughout his/her program, you'll coach and motivate client and make appropriate changes to ensure constant progress.  Giving corrective feedback is necessary for injury prevention and maximum results.
  

• Demonstrate Proper Exercise Instruction: This is a big one.  I 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 clients goals especially working around client injuries or fitness level.
  
  
• Provide Ongoing Health & 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 clients with health and fitness education on various topics that will empower them to lead healthy lives forever.  On occasion you'll be provided with educational tools and resources, will be expected to study them and speak about them with your clients.  During occasional staff meetings or email/video clips I will spend time covering this and keeping you up to date on what's going on behind the scenes, marketing, events, etc..
  

• Nutrition Coaching: I have implemented nutrition coaching as a separate source of income for the business so if you demonstrate a desire to learn how to do these types of sessions it may increase your hours and income.
  

These are the skills you must already have in order to qualify for this position:

• Must be a good listener able to follow directions
  
  
• Adept at adjusting to people's moods and personalities
  
  
• Able to multi-task
  
  
• Excellent written and verbal communication
  
  
• Good organizational ability
  

• Good Communication Skills/Etiquette- You will be talking with my clients, who are VERY important to me and prospective clients, who are also important.  You must be comfortable conversing on the phone &  in person and deliver clear instructions to the clients. I will teach you everything you need to do during a training session but I can't teach you manners and professionalism.
  

• People skills & personality - must LOVE working with people! You must be very comfortable working with people.  Shyness and personal training does not fit together.  I need an authoritative personality as this is what most clients respond to and look to a trainer to provide them as they are paying to be told what to do to reach their goals.  This is an exciting studio and you must be able to show your clients that you love fitness and are excited to be working with them.
  

• Thoughtfulness and Organization - I need you to write the date, sets, and reps on the workout cards so all trainers can read and be thoughtful of all trainers and clients working in the studio at the same time you are working with your clients.
  

If you have these additional skills, your name will go right to the top of the stack (but if you don't have these skills, you should still apply because these are not mandatory).

• Previous personal training experience (fitness studio, health club, in-home trainer, etc..)
  
• Basic nutrition knowledge
• National Certification
• Kinesiology or Exercise Science related degree
• CPR Certified
