If you have enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a passion for helping others get fit, then I have a fun and fulfilling Personal Training position just for YOU!
Dear Prospective Fitness Trainer,
First of all, thanks for taking the time to visit Premier Fitness. It’s my hope that you have precisely what I need in a trainer so I can put you to work in the fun and rewarding coaching position I have available.
Let me start by telling you about me, my company and the available personal training position.
My name is Chad Lee and I run Premier Fitness, a fitness and nutrition coaching company in Wichita. My business is dedicated to helping women and men achieve their health and fitness goals through customized nutrition and fitness programs. We focus on getting our clients real results, building a sense of community, and having a lot of fun in the process.
All of our trainers are at capacity and we need a new trainer to start training some of our clients!
I’m looking for an enthusiastic, motivated, and energetic person to start training some of our current clients and possibly teach some of our group fitness classes, if it’s a good fit.
We currently offer personal training, small group training, and boot camp classes, which educate, motivate, and support men and women to improve their health and fitness.
If you are hired for this training position, you’ll begin training clients in our award-winning program, alongside a fantastic team of trainers.
Bottom line: we’re looking for part time trainers to join our team. If hired, you’ll go through an 8-week paid internship period, where we’ll make sure you’re the right fit for our team.
My team is like family to me. I’m very fair, respectful and appreciative. I like having fun, making a difference, and providing valuable fitness services and products. You’ll be compensated fairly, treated fairly, and I will certainly look for ways to pay you more for your efforts if they warrant it. I want someone who enjoys working with people and making a real impact in the lives of others, because that’s what we do at Premier Fitness.
Tasks You’ll be Expected to Perform
Develop Comprehensive Health & Fitness Programs For Clients: You’ll receive coaching and training on our fitness system and programs, but you’ll have flexibility to incorporate your training style and knowledge.
Tracking Client Progress: In order 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 and fitness program to ensure the best results possible.
Perform fitness evaluations: Ideally, you’ll have fitness assessment skills and can test for: body composition, body weight, girth measurements, and flexibility. You do not need previous experience or an FMS certification, but if you do, that’s a bonus.
Coach both one-on-one and group fitness classes: You’ll be responsible for weekly exercise sessions and keeping detailed progress reports on the clients you’re working with. If a client is having challenges, you’ll coach and motivate client 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 (e.g. muscles, movements, functions, etc) and be able to provide appropriate exercises for each 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 will empower them to lead healthy lives forever. You’ll be provided with educational tools and resources, will be expected to study them and speak about them with your clients.
Required Skills
These are the skills you must already have in order to qualify for this position:
Excellent communication skills: You’ll be talking with my clients, 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 clients. 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. You must be able to show your clients energy and excitement while working with them.
Health and fitness education: You do not need previous personal training experience, but you should have a working knowledge of health and fitness. You also MUST be currently certified or actively working towards a certification, and have a current First Aid/CPR certificate.
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.)
- Basic nutrition knowledge
- National Certification
- Exercise Science Degree
