Location: North San Jose / Berryessa, CA 95132
We’re looking for a high-energy, personable, fitness-minded individual to join our team in a hybrid role combining front desk/member sales and group fitness coaching.
This is a great opportunity for someone who loves fitness, enjoys working with people, and wants to build a career in the fitness industry. Previous professional training experience is not required. We are specifically open to entry-level candidates who have experience with fitness through their own workouts and understand the basics of exercise and strength training.
We will provide training on our group fitness format and coaching expectations. You will be required to obtain an approved personal training or group fitness certification within 6 months of hire at your own expense.

Front Desk & Sales
- Greet members and create a welcoming, energetic environment
- Check members into classes and assist with general questions
- Give prospective members gym tours and explain our programs
- Follow up with leads by phone, text, and in person
- Help convert trials and prospects into memberships
- Learn our membership options, challenges, and promotions
- Build relationships with members and help improve member retention
- Assist with basic front desk and gym operations
- Keep the front desk and facility organized and presentable
Group Fitness Coaching
- Learn and eventually lead our group fitness classes
- Demonstrate exercises with proper form and technique
- Provide modifications for different fitness levels
- Motivate members and maintain high energy throughout workouts
- Help members stay accountable and engaged
- Assist experienced coaches while completing training
- Help maintain a safe, positive, and inclusive workout environment
Who We're Looking For
You do not need to already be a certified trainer or have previous professional coaching experience.
You should:
- Have personal experience working out consistently
- Understand basic exercises, gym equipment, and proper workout fundamentals
- Be comfortable demonstrating exercises and learning proper coaching techniques
- Be outgoing, personable, energetic, and confident
- Enjoy talking to people and building relationships
- Be comfortable with sales and asking for the business
- Have strong communication and customer service skills
- Be dependable, punctual, and coachable
- Be comfortable speaking in front of groups

Spanish-speaking is a plus, but not required.
Certification Requirement
No certification is required at the time of hire.
However, employees hired into this position must obtain an approved nationally recognized personal training or group fitness certification within 6 months of their start date.
Certification costs are the employee's responsibility.
What We Provide
- Hands-on training to become a group fitness coach
- Sales and membership training
- Experience working directly with members and prospective members
- Opportunity to develop both fitness coaching and sales skills
- Potential for additional responsibility and advancement based on performance
- A high-energy, team-oriented fitness environment
What Success Looks Like
The right person isn't necessarily someone who has worked at a gym before. We're looking for someone who lives an active lifestyle, connects naturally with people, brings great energy, and is hungry to learn.
You'll be successful in this role if you can walk into the gym, make members feel welcome, confidently talk to a new prospect about joining, and then bring that same energy to the workout floor.
