The Outcomes You'll Produce

We believe people do their best work when they know what success looks like. This isn't a role where you simply show up, coach your sessions, and go home. You'll play a part in the overall health and growth of our clients and studio.

Client Results & Attendance
Help keep at least 85% of clients on track each month through consistent session attendance, check-ins, accountability, and progress in their training.

Client Retention & Experience
Help the studio maintain 95%+ client retention by creating an experience where clients feel known, supported, challenged, and excited to keep coming back.

High-Quality Coaching
Come prepared for every session and consistently deliver safe, engaging, high-quality coaching using the Elevation Fitness training model. Programming and session preparation should be completed on time.

Communication & Follow-Up
Respond to new inquiries within the same business day whenever possible and no later than 24 business hours. Follow through consistently with leads and clients rather than letting conversations fall through the cracks.

Consultations & Sales
Confidently guide prospective clients through consultations, help qualified leads determine whether Elevation is the right fit, and contribute to monthly new-member and revenue goals. Our goal is 80%+ conversion on sales consultations.

Lead Follow-Up
Consistently work the lead pipeline, including 5–7 follow-up attempts over 10–14 days when a prospective client doesn't initially respond.

Raving Fans
Help us celebrate the work our clients are doing by generating reviews, testimonials, referrals, and success stories. Our team goal includes at least 5 new reviews/testimonials each month.

Community & Growth
Actively contribute to the growth of Elevation through referrals, community connections, outreach, client wins, studio events, and other lead-generation efforts.

The Elevation Fitness Training Model

We use our established Elevation Fitness personal training model to create a consistent, high-quality experience for every client.

You don't need to walk in already knowing exactly how we coach. The right hire will receive hands-on training in our coaching method, systems, client experience, and sales process.

We're looking for someone with strong personal training fundamentals who is also coachable and excited to learn the Elevation way of doing things.

Our Core Values

Our core values aren't just words on the wall. They're how we expect our team to show up for our clients and each other.

Commitment to Results

We care about progress—for our clients, our team, and ourselves.

In practice, that means having a growth mindset, owning your responsibilities, being a team player, and being prompt and dependable. When something isn't working, we communicate and look for a solution.

It doesn't look like negativity, inconsistency, unreliability, or suffering in silence instead of asking for help.

Community & Support

Elevation should feel like a place where people genuinely want to be.

That means building trust, collaborating, treating people with respect, cheering each other on, and holding one another accountable.

It doesn't look like gossip, dishonesty, comparison, exclusion, lack of effort, or leaving someone else to carry the load.

Integrity

We do what we say we're going to do—even when no one is watching.

That means being honest, transparent, professional, keeping our priorities straight, and holding ourselves to high standards.

It doesn't mean sugarcoating problems, cutting corners, making empty promises, or saying something was done when it wasn't.

Who We're Looking For

Someone who is reliable, coachable, organized, great with people, comfortable with sales, and willing to take ownership of their role.

Most importantly, you should genuinely enjoy helping adults 35+ get stronger and healthier and want to be part of a team that cares deeply about the people we serve.

Why this Job is So Important

Leading our clients to achieve meaningful outcomes for their life and health is how we measure success. When our clients succeed, Elevation succeeds. This role plays a key part in that entire journey—from the first conversation with a prospective client to helping a long-term client reach their next big win.

Schedule & Availability

Personal training isn't a traditional 9–5 job. Our schedule is built around when our clients need us.

Flexibility is required, including early mornings, afternoons/evenings, split shifts, and some Saturday morning availability.

Qualifications

Current ACE, ACSM, ISSA, NASM, or other accredited personal training certification

Current Adult CPR/AED/First Aid certification

Strong communication and people skills

Solid understanding of personal training fundamentals and safe exercise technique

Comfortable learning and using technology for client management, scheduling, communication, and programming

Previous personal training, sales, customer service, or administrative experience is a plus.

Compensation & Start

Full-time starting salary: $43,000/year

Additional earning opportunities are available through performance bonuses and sales commissions.

There are also opportunities for compensation growth as you develop within the role, take on greater responsibility, and consistently meet performance expectations.

Training and onboarding will begin November/December 2026 and may initially be part-time before transitioning into the full-time position.
