Group Fitness Trainer Description

We are looking for a new member of our team! If you are dedicated to making positive changes in people’s lives and love health and fitness, we have an amazing opportunity for you!

Apply only if . . .

You are passionate about health and fitness.

You are extremely motivated to grow as a person and professionally.

You are looking for a career in the fitness industry.

You are dedicated to working with a top level team who continuously strives to improve the health and wellness of the members of our community.

You are motivated to help develop and grow a Personal Training Program.

You are competent in program design that can assess and provide long term progression and success for a variety of clients.

You are looking to live your perfect day and build the life you want by helping others live theirs.

So let me tell you about our company, and the position we are looking to fulfill . . . my name is Jason, and I run a growing fitness company here in the East Bay, Prowess Fitness & Nutrition. Our business is dedicated to helping women and men achieve their health and fitness goals through nutrition and fitness programs.

I’m looking for an enthusiastic, motivated, and energetic person to start training some of our current clients, as well as to develop our growing Personal Training program. We currently offer one-on-one customized nutrition, fitness programs, and small group training, which educate, motivate, and support men, women, and kids to improve their health and fitness.

We understand that to hire the best, you have to compensate the best.

Bottom line: you’ll become a part of an elite fitness team that is leading the way in every capacity.

My gym offers a casual, fun environment, nice training equipment, and the opportunity to learn the inner-workings of a strength and conditioning gym.

I’m also very fair, respectful, and appreciative. I like having fun and making money while providing highly valuable fitness services and products.

We promote and train from within, and there are tons of growth opportunities on the horizon. I want someone who enjoys working with people and making a difference in the lives of others . . . because that’s what we do in my gym.

Are you an “A” Player?

There are a lot of jobs out there today. At Prowess Fitness & Nutrition, we’re ONLY looking for “A Players” to join our team. “A Players” are people who are committed to excellence in all that they do. They can get a job anywhere, but they take the time to research the companies they’re considering working for, they’re selective in the interviews they go out on, and they “go the extra mile” in searching for the “right” position because they’re looking for more than a job . . . they’re looking for a long-term career opportunity.

“A Players” are looking to be part of a team where they can make a positive impact on the world through the work they do WHILE being challenged to grow and become a better version of themselves. If that doesn’t sound like you, then feel free to stop reading this page and close your browser window now. If you think you are, in fact, an “A Player,” then please read on to learn more about the exciting opportunity we have available for the right candidate.

A Fair Warning

Our hiring process isn’t quick and easy. We’re going to ask you to jump through a few hoops to prove you’ve got the character as well as demonstrate the values that align with our team and mission.

You’ll be asked to take multiple tests. You’ll have at least 2-3 interviews.

And we’re going to take our time in making sure you’re someone we want to invest our resources in growing. What we’re really looking for is someone who wants to grow with us in the years to come.

Many of our top performing team leaders got their start in this position as little as 16 months ago. And because they’re “A Players,” they were promoted quickly through the ranks in our company. OK, if I haven’t scared you away just yet, then let’s continue . . .

Tasks You’ll Be Expected to Perform

Tracking client progress. To ensure a client’s success in our programs, you’ll need to track their progress, current successes and challenges, and more on a weekly and monthly 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 some fitness assessment skills and can test for: body composition, body weight, girth measurements, blood pressure, heart rate, and various strength and flexibility tests. You do not need previous experience, but if you do, that’s a bonus. We utilize an InBody 270 for body composition testing in our facility.

Coach clients through fitness and workout programs. You’ll be responsible for developing workout plans and weekly exercise sessions, and keeping detailed weekly progress reports on the clients you’re working with. If a client is having challenges throughout his/her program, you’ll coach and motivate them, and make appropriate changes to ensure consistent progress. You will work with clients 1-1, in small groups, and in large groups. We will teach you the ropes of the sessions.

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 for 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 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 your clients.
