Coach / Personal Trainer TENRA Fitness | Hamburg, NY You became a coach because you wanted to coach. You wanted to help people get stronger, move better, accomplish things they didn't think they could do, and watch their hard work turn into real results. You probably didn't get into this profession because you wanted to spend your day finding leads, selling training packages, posting on social media, or trying to build a client list from scratch. At TENRA Fitness, we're looking for a coach who wants to do what they do best: coach people. We're a growing personal training facility in Hamburg, NY, and we already have the clients. In fact, we're hiring because we have more coaching demand than our current team should continue handling alone. We're looking for someone we can trust with those clients. And if you're exceptional at it, we'd love for you to grow with us. What You'll Be Here to Do Your job is simple to describe: Help our clients make measurable progress toward their health and fitness goals while delivering an exceptional training experience. You'll inherit existing clients and work with them one-on-one and, where applicable, in small-group settings. You won't be expected to build a clientele from zero. We'll provide the programming and teach you the TENRA standard for delivering it. Your responsibility is to bring that program to life. That means understanding the intention behind an exercise instead of blindly checking it off a list. It means knowing when a client is ready for more weight or greater range of motion. It means paying attention when something doesn't feel right and being able to workshop around a limitation without losing the purpose of the program. At TENRA, we work to make our clients' subjective goals objective. Every progression in load, range of motion, movement quality, confidence, and ability should move the client another step toward what they originally came to us to accomplish. What Great Coaching Looks Like Here We want every TENRA client to receive the same standard of coaching regardless of which member of our team is standing in front of them. You'll be expected to: Arrive on time and prepared for every scheduled session. Create an environment where clients feel comfortable, supported, and excited to train. Coach every exercise attentively and prioritize client safety. Communicate confidently and build genuine relationships with the people you train. Recognize when exercises need to be modified and workshop solutions around a client's limitations while preserving the intention of their program. Progress clients appropriately in load, range of motion, and exercise execution. Accurately log weights, sets, reps, and relevant session notes. Follow TENRA's training systems and contribute to a consistent client experience across our entire team. If you're doing this job exceptionally well, the result should be obvious: Your schedule is full, your clients enjoy coming to see you, they're consistently progressing in the gym, and they're getting closer to the goals they hired us to help them achieve. Who We're Looking For We're looking for someone who is positive, confident, and detail-oriented. Technical knowledge matters, but we can teach a great coach our systems. We'll teach you our standards for exercise proficiency, how we workshop around client limitations, our process for delivering sessions, and how we document client progress. What is much harder to teach is caring about the person standing in front of you. You should enjoy working with people, communicating with them, paying attention to the small things, and taking pride in helping someone succeed. Required You must have one of the following: A recognized Certified Personal Trainer credential; or An equivalent fitness credential; or A relevant degree that qualifies you to work professionally in this role. A CSCS is strongly preferred. If you have a qualifying college degree and are eligible to sit for the CSCS but haven't earned it yet, we're willing to invest in helping the right person obtain it. The Opportunity This position can be more than a coaching job for the right person. TENRA is a small, growing company. As we grow, we want our people to grow with us. An exceptional coach could eventually have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility within our training department, including a potential path toward Head of Training or more of a business oriented role. We believe in promoting from within when someone has earned the opportunity. That also means you'll get to see what building a growing fitness business actually looks like from the inside. You'll work alongside the owners, learn our systems, see how the business evolves, and have opportunities to take on more responsibility as your abilities grow. We want ambitious people here. Maybe your long-term goal is to build a career with TENRA. Maybe someday you want to build something of your own. Either way, we want the experience you gain here to make you better. Schedule TENRA is a 24/7 facility, which gives our coaches considerable flexibility in building a schedule that works for them and their clients. Our greatest current need is approximately: Monday-Friday | 6:00 AM-2:00 PM Those hours are not rigid. They reflect where much of our existing client demand currently sits, and we'll work with the right candidate to determine a schedule. There is potential for this role to grow into a substantial client schedule for someone who wants it.
Compensation Starting compensation:
$17/hour, W-2 employee We're building this position with the intention of creating a long-term opportunity, not keeping a great coach at an entry-level position forever. As TENRA grows, there may be opportunities for increased compensation, additional responsibility, and advancement based on your qualifications, performance, client load, and the growth of the business. This Job Might Be for You If… You've trained people before and thought: "I wish I could just show up, have a schedule full of people to help, coach great sessions, and go home knowing I did meaningful work today." That's what we're trying to build. We already have people who need your help. We're looking for the coach we can confidently put in front of them.
