Do you love helping people become stronger, healthier, and more confident?
Do you believe great coaching is about building relationships—not just counting reps?
If so, we'd love to meet you.
My name is Alex Pintia, and I'm the owner of Level Up Fitness, a coaching-focused personal training studio opening in Oakbrook Terrace.
We're building a gym centered around exceptional coaching, genuine relationships, and helping people create lasting change through intelligent strength training.
We're looking for a coach who wants to grow with us from the very beginning.
What You'll Do
You'll coach clients through:
- Small Group Personal Training (up to 6 clients)
- One-on-One Personal Training
- Youth Strength & Conditioning
Our goal is simple: deliver an outstanding coaching experience every single session.
This isn't a place where coaches simply supervise workouts. We coach, teach, encourage, educate, and genuinely care about the people who trust us with their health.
Why Level Up Fitness?
Make a Difference
You'll have the opportunity to positively impact people's lives every day. Helping someone get stronger, eliminate pain, build confidence, or simply enjoy exercise again is incredibly rewarding work.
Grow as a Coach
We're committed to helping our coaches become better every year. You'll receive mentorship, feedback, continuing education, and opportunities to continue developing your coaching skills.
Build Something Special
This is a rare opportunity to join a gym from the very beginning. As Level Up Fitness grows, there will be opportunities to take on additional responsibility and grow your career alongside the business.
Coaching First
Our coaches are here to coach. We want you focused on delivering an incredible experience for every member.
Who We're Looking For:
Character is incredibly important to us, but so is competence.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Positive and energetic
- Outstanding with people
- Passionate about helping others
- Humble and eager to learn
- Reliable and professional
- A team player
- Hard working
- Drama free
Minimum Qualifications
- A nationally recognized Personal Training Certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, NSCA, or equivalent) is required.
- At least one year of personal training or strength coaching experience is preferred.
- Comfortable coaching both one-on-one and small-group training sessions.
- Able to transition to a full-time schedule as the gym continues to grow.
We're looking for someone who can contribute on the coaching floor within 15 days while continuing to develop professionally as part of our team.
Our Core Values
Everything we do is built around four simple values:
- Treat every member like family.
- Be obsessed with getting better every day.
- Be a fantastic team member.
- Be a pro.
If these values sound like you, you'll fit right in.
Compensation & Schedule
This position begins as part-time, with the expectation of transitioning into a full-time coaching role within approximately 90 days.
For the right person, that transition may happen even sooner based on performance, availability, and the growth of the gym.
Compensation is competitive and based on experience.
