ABOUT THIS ROLE
We’re hiring a Certified Personal Trainer to join the Personal Training team at LA Fitness Cape Coral. Our mission is simple: take every member from where they are now to where they want to be, in the fastest, safest, and most enjoyable way possible.
This is a hands-on training position. You’ll work directly with members on the gym floor, designing customized workout programs and coaching clients one-on-one. You’ll also connect with gym members and introduce them to the value of personal training.
This is NOT a desk job. If you love being on the floor, coaching real people, and seeing their results, this is your opportunity.
EARNING POTENTIAL
You earn 30% commission on every session you deliver, plus additional commissions on personal training package sales.
Per session: $15 - $21+
Per day (full book, 14-16 sessions): $210 - $341+
Per month (full book): $4,200 - $6,800+
No cap on earnings. The more clients you build, the more you earn.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
∙ Deliver one-on-one personal training sessions tailored to each client’s goals, fitness level, and limitations
∙ Design and adjust customized workout programs based on client progress
∙ Conduct fitness assessments for new clients
∙ Engage with gym members on the floor to build relationships and introduce personal training
∙ Educate clients on proper form, exercise technique, and safe training practices
∙ Track client progress and adjust programming for consistent results
∙ Contribute to department growth through consultations and member engagement
REQUIREMENTS (MUST-HAVE)
∙ Active personal training certification (NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA, ACSM, or equivalent)
∙ Current CPR/AED certification
∙ Strong communication skills and genuine passion for helping people
∙ Coachable mindset: open to feedback, willing to learn, committed to daily improvement
∙ Reliable, punctual, and professional
∙ Authorized to work in the United States
PREFERRED (NICE-TO-HAVE)
∙ Bilingual (English/Spanish) strongly preferred
∙ Previous experience in a gym or fitness facility
∙ Experience with client consultations or fitness sales
∙ Background in exercise science, kinesiology, or related field
WHAT WE OFFER
∙ Commission-based pay: $15-$21+ per session with no earnings cap
∙ Additional commissions on PT package sales
∙ Complimentary LA Fitness gym membership
∙ Fully equipped, high-traffic facility with a strong member base
∙ Hands-on mentorship from an experienced Director of Personal Training
∙ Growth opportunities within the PT department
∙ Flexible scheduling (full-time and part-time available)
WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE
This role is for someone who treats personal training like a career, not a side gig. You don’t need 10 years of experience. What you need is a real certification, a hunger to learn, and the discipline to show up every day ready to serve your clients at the highest level.
If you study training science on your own time, if you actually care whether your client hits their goals, and if you want to build a book of business you can be proud of, we want to hear from you.

∙ What certification(s) do you hold?
