ABOUT LIVING FIT

Living Fit is a strength-focused training facility in New Albany, Ohio. We work with adults of varying ages, fitness levels, training backgrounds, and physical limitations through small-group strength training, personal training, semi-private training, and recovery services. We are looking for an experienced, dependable, and highly motivated Strength Coach / Personal Trainer to join our team. This is not a position where you simply demonstrate exercises or supervise workouts. We are looking for a coach who can confidently lead a room, build relationships with clients, understand individual needs, modify training appropriately, and deliver a consistently high-level coaching experience.

THE ROLE

The majority of this position will involve coaching our small-group strength training sessions. Our workouts and overall programming structure are already created. Your role is to understand the programming, coach it effectively, and individualize movements when necessary based on each client's abilities, limitations, training history, and goals. You should be comfortable managing several clients at the same time who may have different fitness levels, injuries, previous surgeries, mobility limitations, or other physical restrictions.

RESPONSIBILITIES

WORKING WITH INJURIES AND LIMITATIONS A

strong understanding of exercise modification is especially important for this position.

Tuesday and Thursday morning availability is especially important. Morning coaching blocks may begin at 5:00 a.m. and currently run through approximately 10:30 a.m., with the potential for additional training opportunities extending toward noon as demand grows. We would also prefer someone who has flexibility to coach a couple of evening hours each week. Evening sessions generally run from approximately 4:30-6:30 p.m., although some coaching opportunities may begin as early as 3:30 p.m. There is also current demand for Saturday morning coaching from approximately 8:00-11:00 a.m. The exact schedule can be discussed during the interview process.
