Kettlebell Coach Wanted | Prime-Time Weekday and Weekend Opportunities
Momentum Fitness NYC is expanding and looking for an experienced Kettlebell Coach to join our team at our Upper West Side facility.
We currently have a handful of prime-time openings available, including:
- Weekday mornings
- Weekday evenings
- Weekend mornings
The position will primarily involve teaching group fitness classes, with opportunities for additional classes and personal training as our schedule continues to grow.
Who We Are Looking For
We place a high priority on coaches who already hold a valid kettlebell certification, including:
HKC, RKC, SFG, FKT, Kettlebell Concepts, or another recognized kettlebell coaching certification.
A nationally recognized Certified Personal Trainer credential is also a major plus. Momentum receives a steady stream of personal training inquiries from clients specifically seeking coaches with strong kettlebell experience, so there is meaningful potential to build a personal training clientele in addition to teaching classes.
We are looking for someone who understands that kettlebell training is more than swinging heavy iron around the room and hoping nobody gets launched into the drywall.
Our ideal coach values:
- Technical precision and safety
- Intelligent progressions and regressions
- Clear communication and professional conduct
- The ability to coach people of different ages, abilities, and experience levels
- Continuing education and personal development
- Building relationships and contributing to a strong gym community
What We Offer Our Coaches
We believe great coaches should have the tools, environment, and support they need to continue developing their careers.
Momentum coaches receive:
- Free or discounted continuing education opportunities
- Open gym access for their own training
- A spacious, fully equipped training environment with everything needed to coach effectively
- An experienced, professional, and supportive team of coaches to work alongside
- Ongoing encouragement, mentorship, and opportunities for growth as a fitness professional
- A laid-back, independent work environment where coaches can help shape their schedules around their other professional and personal commitments
- Opportunities to grow their personal training clientele as new leads become available
We take coaching seriously without creating a stiff or overly corporate atmosphere. You will have room to bring your own personality and experience to the job while working within professional standards that protect our clients, our team, and the quality of the Momentum brand.

For decades, the RKC has helped set the standard for kettlebell instruction around the world by emphasizing technical precision, coaching ability, strength, safety, and professionalism.
The RKC is not simply about learning exercises. It is about learning how to teach. The system is built around standards, progressions, regressions, and helping people train hard without training stupid.
As the official home of the RKC Kettlebell Certification, Momentum Fitness places a major emphasis on continuing education, mentorship, and coach development. We want our coaches to keep learning, sharpening their eye, improving their communication, and developing their ability to serve clients at the highest level.
