POSITION: Certified Personal Trainer / Group Fitness Instructor / Strength Training Coach

 

We are a fun and friendly local strength and conditioning gym looking to expand our coaching roster with an experienced coach who’s ready to bring the heat in group fitness classes as well as take on some personal training clients. We have recently moved into a larger space on McPhee Ave in Courtenay and our team of 10 coaches is struggling to keep up with the demand in work! We are receiving multiple personal training inquiries each week (sometimes each day!) so we’re hoping to onboard a coach who has a flexible schedule and is ready to build a roster of clients! 

 

Our classes cap at 12 people and we pride ourselves on offering hands-on, dynamic coaching that not only motivates our clients but also builds their confidence in strength training.  Our gym culture occupies the space between Crossfit, power lifting and general group fitness classes, with our coaches having experience and certifications from both worlds. 

 

You are:

-A certified strength training coach or group fitness instructor (CSIA/NASM/BCRPA/Crossfit/Kettlebell/Kinesiologist etc are all great)
-Are confident and experienced at teaching barbell movements including bench/squat/deadlift
-Enjoy programming and coaching creative workouts that focus on functional movement, mobility and strength development
-Genuinely kind and thoughtful
-Passionate about inclusive communities that welcome all types of gym goers
-You do not tolerate racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, fatphobia, diet culture and homophobia
-Self-directed and proactive
-An awesome multi-tasker
-Not scared of bluetooth speakers and timers

 

Must have:

-Ability to teach group fitness on Saturday mornings from 8am-1pm well as being interested in picking up classes and clients throughout the week.  Mid week hours are flexible.
-First Aid certificate that must include CPR-A and AED training (may be completed before first day of work)
-Excellent professional references
We’re interested in hiring a permanent part time or full time coach.  We will consider part timers who prioritize their coaching schedule equally to any other work they’re doing and are reliable in their commitment to our community.  

 

Responsibilities:
-Programming and coaching effective and fun personal training sessions

Benefits:

-Group Fitness: Experience based wages starting at $28/hr for part time, and $30/hr full time (>20 hours/week) with less than 2 years coaching experience. Hiring rates vary depending on experience, education, and willingness to continue ongoing education.
