11d•$40,000 - $65,000

About The Position

Fitometry Health Club is seeking a high-energy, people-first Health Coach / Fitness Navigator to drive member engagement, accountability, and lasting behavior change. This is not a personal training role: the position focuses on helping members stay consistent and follow through on their health and wellness goals, rather than coaching workouts. The role uses principles such as Motivational Interviewing to help members understand and change their behaviors. It involves frequent interaction, persistent follow-up, structured check-ins, and, when appropriate, respectful tough love. Success is measured by member engagement and retention, adherence to habits and accountability plans, sustainable lifestyle change, reduced inconsistency and dropouts, and a positive influence on the Fitometry community. The position also supports members in enjoying the process and connects them with Fitometry services by communicating their value and encouraging action. Compensation is described as base pay plus commission and bonuses, with annual earnings of $40,000–$70,000. The posting separately lists a salary range of $40,000–$65,000 per annum.
