Fitness Coach
About The Position
Lead the room. Change the day. Coach people into the best version of themselves one hour at a time. At Orangetheory Southlands, our coaches don't just run workouts. They own the energy of the room, hold the standard, and pull people toward goals they didn't think they could hit. If you're the kind of person who lights up when someone finishes stronger than they started and you've got the certification and the presence to back it up, we want to talk. We're the Southlands studio of a locally owned, performance-driven organization. We believe great coaching is equal parts science, showmanship, and service. Our members trust us with their health, their hour, and their hardest days — and we take that seriously. We run on a simple set of core values, and we hire, coach, and lead by them: Serve First, Lead Always — the member's experience comes before your ego, every rep. Own the Energy — the room feeds off you. Set the tone the moment you walk in. Raise the Standard — good enough isn't. Coach form, effort, and results with intention. Win as One — coaches, sales team, and front desk move as one crew. If those land with you, keep reading.
Requirements
- A current, nationally accredited personal training or group fitness certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, NSCA, AFAA, or equivalent).
- Current CPR / AED certification (or willingness to obtain before your first class).
- Real presence — you can command a room, read the energy, and adjust on the fly.
- A coaching style that's motivating without being a drill sergeant, and knowledgeable without being a lecture.
- Reliability and professionalism: on time, prepared, and consistent.
