Responsibilities and Duties
Tasks You’ll Be Expected To Perform:
- Develop Comprehensive Health and Fitness Programmes for Members
You’ll receive coaching and training on our fitness system and programmes, but you’ll have the flexibility to incorporate your training style and knowledge.
To ensure a client's success in our programmes, you'll need to track progress, current successes and challenges, review client nutrition and exercise log worksheets, and more on a regular basis. It will be your job to hold a client accountable to his/her health and fitness programme 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, circumference measurements, blood pressure and various strength and flexibility tests. You do not need previous experience, but if you do, that's a bonus.
You'll be responsible for weekly exercise sessions and keeping detailed weekly progress reports on the members you’re working with. If a client is having challenges throughout his/her programme, you'll coach and motivate them, and make appropriate changes to ensure consistent progress
- 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, plus progressions and regressions that relate to the member’s goals and fitness level.
- Provide Ongoing Health and Fitness Education
Our members rely on us to service all of their health and fitness needs. It is your job as a fitness coach to provide your members 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 our members. We also spend time covering this in our staff meetings.
Skills required
- Health and Fitness Qualifications:
- You should have a REPs Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification. You do not need personal training experience, but you should have a working knowledge of health and fitness, and how to take members through a programme.
- Good Communication Skills:
- You will be talking with our members, who are VERY important to me. You must be comfortable conversing in-person and on the phone and know how to conduct yourself professionally, and deliver clear instructions to the members. I’ll teach you everything you need to do during a training session, but I can’t teach you manners and professionalism.
- People skills and personality – must LOVE working with people!
- As mentioned above you must be very comfortable working with people. This is an exciting studio and you must be able to show our members energy and excitement while working with them.
- Bonus Skills
- If you have these additional skills, your resume 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.) Familiarity instructing members to use Dumbbells. Advanced nutrition knowledge. Comfortable in front of the camera. Exercise Science Degree. CPR Certified.
I’m looking to find the right person to hire relatively quickly. So if this job sounds good to you, then do the following:
- Write me a letter explaining why you are the perfect person to fill this position. Include full contact information (name, address, phone, email) on this cover letter.
