Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist

Confluent Health•Southern Pines, NC

8d•Onsite

About The Position

We’re Not Hiring Another Personal Trainer. We’re looking for a coach who wants to help people move beyond rehabilitation toward long-term strength, confidence, and performance. At BreakThrough Physical Therapy, you’ll work alongside physical therapists to create individualized programs for athletes, golfers, active adults, and clients transitioning out of physical therapy. This is not a sales-focused gym position. It’s an opportunity to combine strength and conditioning, movement assessment, golf fitness, injury prevention, and performance coaching within a collaborative healthcare environment. You will join a team focused on helping people recover, perform, and remain active throughout their lives. Many clients will have a direct pathway from physical therapy into performance training, allowing you to focus on coaching, education, relationships, and measurable results. This is more than an opportunity to lead workouts. It is an opportunity to help build a sports performance program and bridge the gap between rehabilitation and lifelong performance. If you are passionate about helping people move better, become stronger, and reach meaningful goals, we would love to meet you.
