Ok people, we're looking for a few dynamic, highly driven, detail oriented individuals who are absolutely passionate about strength and fitness and want to work for a growing company that feels that way about it too.
We are the real deal and our trainers and team work together like protein shakes and pre-workout to transform our clients lives and be the best part of each member's day...at least try to be!
All kidding aside, we're dead serious about our strength training and accountability systems, our methodology and our freakin amazing culture that's been 20+ years in the making.
And we want to give some talented and experienced trainers the chance to shine, grow and make a big impact in our clients lives in one of the best jobs in Utah's fitness industry.
Stronglife loves to invest bigtime in our new trainers with education, leadership, growth opportunities and compensation. Our people are mentored and critiqued to help them develop into some of the best coaches/leaders in any organization.
Our personal training and nutrition team is expanding and our philosophy is to create careers in this industry for great people who fit our culture and are absolutely crazy about educating and playing a part in our clients progress into healthier, stronger and happier humans.
This means giving you full or part time hours, flexibility in your schedule, better than average pay, and leadership opportunities to grow and develop in the areas of training and coaching that interest you as we invest in our team and open new locations throughout Utah.
BUT WAIT!...before you apply, let me tell you a little bit about Stronglife, our culture and our story so you can decide for yourself if this is the role for you . Stronglife began over 20 years ago by happy accident through my own personal struggles with weight loss and health in my forties. Back then, weight training and strength, especially for women, was considered fringe culture and a bit weird tbh. I mean why would you want to “body build” or “bulk” up when everyone was obsessed with being skinny and wearing leg warmers and leotards like Jane Fonda?? After giving birth to four of my children, and trying just about every diet and weight loss fad in the book, I’d had it! I needed to lose eighty pounds, I was depressed, exhausted and sick. and I had no idea what I was gonna do. I just knew I was desperate for change and seeking the right answer for me. One especially bad day, I got up the courage to call some friends of mine that I trusted (husband and wife) who were local body builders and asked them for their advice and help. They had kids my same age and to my surprise, they agreed the best way they could help was to train with me. They told me to come by every day, bring my kids to play and work out with them in their garage gym. Of course, I had NO idea what they meant by “work out” and it’s a good thing I didn’t or I would have ran away…as fast as my out of shape body would let me. But as it turned out, their version of strength training completely transformed my health and my body. I will admit that I probably cried as much as I sweat that year, but miraculously with their help and unwavering support, change began to happen. They pushed me to my limit while still being incredibly motivating and connected and it made ALL the difference. Not only did I lose my weight within 7 months, I learned the potential and power of my own body. Through their example and connection, I connected back into my body and my sense of self. This experience changed my life in many significant ways, but the most important thing that changed was that I knew I had a purpose. It was to help others do the same thing. I had learned from my own experience the power of strength training for weightloss, anti-ageing and overall health long before the science we know today backed up those outcomes. So I got my personal training certification, enlisted my sister to help me and started training out of my own garage gym.
That was many years ago, today Stronglife gyms are private, state of the art personal training spaces that specialize in training men and women over 40. We provide a non competitive, positive culture and safe space for our clients to transform their health and strength. We offer highly specialized group training as well as private and semi-private strength training programs for clients with unique training needs or adaptation. In addition to our personal training programs, we offer accountability systems, personalized coaching and connection both in and outside the gym.
So if all of the above sounds good to you, let me give you an idea of what we are looking for and what skills you gotta have to be considered for a lead position at Stronglife.
Ninja Programming skills:
We train in a small group setting with client trainer ratios of 3-6 clients to 1 trainer....but the big difference is that we program for each client individually based on their goals, fitness level and experience, so experience in personal training is a must.
Master Communicator:
This means that you can and love to connect with different types of clients and know how to intrinsically motivate them. To be able to help them navigate through any issue that may come up as we train and educate them in strength, mobility and movement. You need to be able to effectively articulate and instruct the techniques and execution of a movement and use verbal cues to help clients correct and understand good form and body movements. You are expected to provide great coaching as well as being coachable and know how to listen and problem solve effectively with both our clients and our team
Energy + Positive Vibes:
Your ability to motivate, encourage, engage with and celebrate the heck out of our clients hard work and progress is essential to our training culture. Your skill at taking control of the workout sessions and to be aware of and respond to the diversified experience level of your people (who you know by name or hilarious nickname...whichever is more appropriate) is an absolute. Your energy should be contagious and fun and your natural enthusiasm and personality shine through so clients can't help but smile when they see your car in the parking lot. We our gym and we want our trainers to love it too and be excited to come to work.
Organization and Tech Junkie Skills:
You will be required to template program for each client, log daily workouts, program self directed and customized training and mobility workouts if necessary , keep track of goal setting and scanning our clients at appropriate intervals and organizing the schedule to best optimize your shift to accomodate our model and training rations. This requires basic understanding of Excell and Google Docs as well as the the ability to quickly learn scheduling and online training software and apps as required.
