About Us
At Chris Protein Personal Training, we don’t just train bodies, we transform lives. Based in Oak Hill, Austin TX (5716 W Highway 290, just off the 290/Mopac intersection), we’re a medium sized studio that delivers a premium training experience with a personal, friendly, and genuine vibe. If you're passionate about helping people, and thrive in a supportive, professional, and fun environment then this could be the perfect place for you.
Chris started as an independent personal trainer in 2013 with a mission to empower individuals to grow and transform their lives through fitness by helping them make lasting changes to their health, confidence, and wellbeing. What began as a one-person operation has since grown into a full-service studio with over 15 passionate staff members serving 250+ clients in the Austin area. What sets us apart is our commitment to delivering a personalized, high-touch experience that makes every client feel seen, supported, and capable of real, lasting change.
We offer 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 personal training programs that empower people to reach their goals with confidence. Our clients are mostly working professionals who want to build strength, lose weight, overcome aches, pains, and fatigue, and finally feel at home in their bodies. We provide more than just workouts - we offer a full coaching program and incredible customer service to get them the best fitness experience available.
About This Opportunity
We’re hiring a Personal Trainer who will report directly to the owner, Chris. We're looking to fill this role within the next 2–3 months, and we want someone who’s in it for the long haul.

As you can probably guess from the name, we’ve got a sense of humor. We make time to grow and connect by attending certification courses together and hanging out at fun team events.
