About the Role
We're looking for a personal trainer who wants more than a room to train clients in. This is a full-time or part-time position at a locally owned 24/7 gym on Lake Minnetonka with active members, an attached smoothie cafe, and a recovery zone.
The job's goal is to help people find their way into the right parts of this gym, whether that's a training program, a group class, the sauna, or just a conversation that keeps them coming back. We're not looking for someone who waits for clients to come to them.
What You'd Do
- Conduct free 20-minute goal sessions with new members as part of their onboarding, these are your primary lead source
- Build and run personal training programs for members at all experience levels
- Be a visible, approachable presence on the gym floor during staffed hours
- Follow up with leads and lapsed members through our CRM and text sequences
- Help introduce members to add-ons: group classes, recovery zone, and training packages in a way that feels like a recommendation from someone who knows them
- Assist with smoothie bar operations during cafe hours (optional, additional pay)
- Keep the facility clean and presentable during your shift (shared responsibility with all staff)
What We're Looking For
- Current personal training certification (NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA, or equivalent)
- Good with people: You remember names, you notice when someone's struggling, you make new members feel like they belong here
- Comfortable with outreach: Texting a lead, following up on a goal session, checking in on a member who's been absent isn't awkward for you, it's part of how you build a client base
- Self-motivated: You can structure your own day, manage a list of follow-ups, and hold yourself accountable to activity goals
- Previous sales or customer service experience is a plus but not required
- Fitness industry experience beyond certification is a plus
Compensation
- Hourly base for staffed floor hours and cafe assistance
- Commission structure on personal training sessions. The more you build your book, the more you earn
- Free membership and full access to all facilities including recovery zone
- 10% discount at Trufit Cafe
- Flexible scheduling built around gym traffic patterns
We'll share the full compensation breakdown in the interview, we want to find the right structure for the right person rather than post a number that might not fit.
The Honest Version of This Job
This gym has a loyal member base and a genuine community. What it doesn't have yet is someone whose job is to connect those members to everything the gym offers. You'd be building something from the ground up! A training client base, a lead pipeline, and member activation system inside our gym that already has the traffic and the amenities to support it. The ceiling is real if you're willing to build toward it.
