“If You Have Enthusiasm, A Positive Attitude And A Few Basic Fitness Skills, I Have A $17/hour, Fun And Fulfilling Personal Training Position Just For You!”

Dear Prospective Fitness Trainer,

First of all, thanks for taking the time to visit this site.  It’s my hope that you have precisely what I need in a fitness trainer so I can take this page down immediately and put you to work in the fun and rewarding coaching position I have available.

You should have arrived here because you saw my employment ad in the local paper that reads like this:

Personal Trainer/Fitness Coach Part Time, $13 per session (45 minute sessions), 15 -20 hours per week, flexible. (with an option to grow to full time...quickly)

So let me tell you about me, my company and the coaching position.

My name is Chris Buckley and I run a fitness and nutrition coaching company called Fitness Together in Buckhead (Atlanta), GA.  Fitness Together is the largest personal training company with over 600 locations worldwide.

Fitness Together is dedicated to helping women and men achieve their health and fitness goals through customized nutrition and fitness programs. 

And business is booming!

I'm looking for an enthusiastic, motivated, and energetic person to start training some of our current clients.

My studio is located on 2140 Peachtree Road NW Suite 305 Atlanta, GA 30309. (right behind Houston's restaurant)

I currently offer one-on-one personal training, and nutritional counseling to educate, motivate, and support men, women, and teens to improve their health and fitness. All clients generally begin with an initial package which includes: nutrition counseling, exercise program design, nutritional supplements, monthly fitness assessments, and private personal training sessions conducted 3-5 times a week in studio.

If you are hired for this coaching position, you'll begin coaching clients in the studio 3-6 days a week for a minimum of 3-4 hours per day (a.m./p.m hours), Monday thru Saturday.

Bottom line: you’ll get at least 15 hours of training clients per week at $13 per session.  You will be paid as a Fitness Together employee, and have the opportunity to move up to $14 after a 90 -day trial period. ($15 after 180 days)  My studio offers a casual, fun environment, nice training equipment and the opportunity to learn the inner-workings of a successful personal training studio.

Oh yeah, I’m also very fair, respectful and appreciative.  I like having fun and making money providing highly valuable fitness services and products.  You will 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 difference in the lives of others… because that’s what we do in my studio.

Tasks You’ll Expected To Perform

   * Manage Client Schedule:  You'll be responsible for managing your clients sessions and schedule.

   * Develop comprehensive health & fitness programs for clients: You'll receive coaching and training on exercise design, 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 various programs, you'll need to track weekly progress, current successes and challenges, nutrition log worksheets and exercise logs 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 some fitness assessment skills and can test for: body composition, bodyweight, 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.

   * Coach clients through our various programs:  You'll be responsible for 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 that 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 (i.e. muscles, movements, functions, etc) and be apply 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 will empower them to lead healthy live's forever.  You'll be provided with educational tools and resources, but should be constantly be doing research on your own. 

Required Skills

These are the skills you must already have in order to qualify for this position:

   * Good Communication Skills: you will 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.  This is an exciting studio and you must be able to show your clients energy and excitement while working with them.

   * Health and Fitness Education:  You do not need personal training experience, but you should have a working knowledge of health and fitness 

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

   * Kinesiology Degree

   * CPR Certified
