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 or craigslist that reads like this:

Boot Camp Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Intern, excellent attitude, people person, growth/bonus opportunities!!

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

My name is Kristen Nolan and I run a Boot Camp Company called I Luv My Body Fitness in San Francisco, CA.

My business 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 either interning or teaching some of our boot camp classes and eventually personal training some of our clients as well.

I’m ALSO looking for interns who are new to the industry, just got their certification and are ready, willing, and eager to learn!!

My boot camp is located at 901 Minnesota St right here in San Francisco.

If you are hired for this coaching position, you’ll begin by coming to our boot camp classes and seeing how we instruct them right away.

My boot camp offers a casual, fun environment, nice training equipment and the opportunity to learn the inner-workings of a successful boot camp and personal training departments.

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 boot camp.

Tasks You’ll Be Expected To Perform

**If you are new to the industry and just got your certification, this is a perfect job for you. We will have you shadow our lead trainers in the beginning and train you to do all of the job requirements below:

  • Command a class of 20-25 members and execute an engaging and challenging Boot Camp training session, every single time.  This is the “meat” of our business, so it’s very important.  Don’t worry, we’ll train you.
  • Develop Comprehensive Health & Fitness Programs For Clients: You’ll receive coaching and training on our fitness system and programs, 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 programs, you’ll need to track weekly progress, current successes and challenges, review client nutrition and exercise log worksheets and more 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: bodyweight, girth measurements, and various strength and flexibility tests. You do not need previous experience, but if you do, that’s a bonus.
  • Coach boot camp clients through 12-week program: You’ll be responsible for weekly exercise sessions and keeping detailed weekly progress reports on the clients your 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. You must keep the boot camp programs fun, entertaining and different! This is what holds the attention of the clients and keeps them coming back for more.
  • Memorize the names of all your boot campers and provide that extra amount of personal attention during class. (EG. If you know they have knee pain during squats, give them tips about how to alleviate this during a squatting exercise. Ask them about what is going on with their lives and how things are going. Our clients deserve the most personal attention we can give them.
  • Demonstrate Proper Exercise Instruction: This is a big one. I need you to be able to provide proper coaching, instruction, and motivation during a boot camp class or personal 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 will empower them to lead healthy lives forever. You’ll be provided with educational tools and resources, will be expected to study them and speak about them with your clients. We also spend time covering this in our staff meetings.

 

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 and Personal Training Insurance – You do not need personal training experience, but you should have a working knowledge of health and fitness and group fitness or personal training and CPR certification. You must also have personal training insurance.

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, Kinesiology Degree

P.S. This is not the type of job where just showing up is enough.  Performance is everything to me. If you perform, you will be rewarded. I want nothing more than to find a person who takes real interest in doing good work and taking care of our clients. If that's you, I promise that your beginning salary is only the starting point. I recognize and reward performance!

With all that said, as I mentioned in the headline on this page, enthusiasm and a positive attitude go a long way in my book. I'm a very positive, upbeat business owner and appreciate those qualities in others.  As long as you have the basic skills I mentioned, and a great attitude, you're definitely a candidate!
