Head Strength Coach

Sweat Dc • Baltimore, MD

2d • Onsite

About The Position

SWEAT DC was built on the belief that fitness should be about more than just workouts. We believe strength training can change lives physically, mentally, and emotionally. We believe people deserve spaces where they feel seen, supported, challenged, and like they truly belong. Our story is rooted in loss, transformation, performance, and community. Founder Gerard Burley grew up poor in West Baltimore often feeling like he didn’t fully fit in anywhere as a Black gay kid searching for confidence, community, and belonging. After losing his mother suddenly to congestive heart failure at 18 years old, fitness became more than exercise. It became therapy, confidence, community, and a way to rebuild mentally and physically. Gerard went on to study Sports Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earn a master’s degree in Health and Exercise Promotion, and play professional basketball overseas in Italy before returning home to build SWEAT DC in 2015. That experience became the foundation for SWEAT. Today, SWEAT has grown into one of Bmore's leading strength training communities with one mission: Help people become confident in their skin. We are looking for coaches who believe fitness is bigger than counting reps. Coaches who care about human connection, creating belonging, building confidence, and helping people discover what they’re capable of both inside and outside the gym. SWEAT Bmore is looking for a passionate, experienced, high-energy Head Strength Coach to help lead and grow one of the most dynamic strength training communities in Bmore. This is not a typical group fitness instructor role. We are building a real career path for elite coaches who want to coach at a high level, lead rooms with confidence, build deep relationships with members, and grow within a rapidly expanding company. Our Head Strength Coaches help shape the culture, energy, and experience inside our studios every single day.
