Part-Time Small Group Personal Trainer

Studio ME FitnessMinneapolis, MN, US

Posted 2 months ago

Description

We're not a big box gym. We're a boutique studio built around real relationships, real results, and clients who are in it for the long haul. We specialize in 1-on-1 and semi-private training for adults who are done with the hamster wheel and ready to build something that actually lasts.


We're looking for a part-time trainer who gets that — someone who shows up prepared, coaches with intention, and genuinely cares about the people in front of them.

Responsibilities

  • Lead semi-private and small group training sessions — reading the room, meeting clients where they are, and programming with purpose
  • Conduct Quarterly fitness tests and goal check-ins so clients always know where they stand and where they're headed
  • Design and deliver individualized programs that account for each client's history, goals, and life outside the gym
  • Coach proper movement and technique every session — not just when someone's brand new
  • Contribute to a client retention culture (we aim for less than 3% churn — that's not an accident)
  • Show up for staff meetings and continuing education — we take professional growth seriously around here
  • Handle client concerns with the same care you'd want if you were on the other side

Qualifications

  • Current PT certification through ACE, NASM, AFAA, ACSM, or similar — or the drive to obtain one within 3 months of hire
  • Current CPR/AED certification (or same 3-month window)
  • 1+ year of experience coaching clients, ideally with some small group or semi-private background
  • A degree in an exercise-related field is a bonus, not a dealbreaker
  • Someone who can confidently train all fitness levels — beginners to athletes — and actually enjoys the variety
  • Strong communicator who can connect with a 38-year-old coming back from injury and a 55-year-old training for their first 5K in the same afternoon
  • Comfortable with change, detail-oriented, and self-motivated enough to work in a small team environment
  • Able to safely lift and move up to 40 lbs

Compensation

$25 - $40/hour
