About The Position

The facility is not open to the general public, only employees that work onsite. This role offers no sales pressure, no quotas or aggressive sales expectations, and the opportunity to earn an additional $3,000–$10,000 annually through personal training. The schedule is predictable: 40 hours/week, Monday–Friday (no weekends), with a mix of opening, mid, and closing shifts between 5:50 a.m.–9:00 p.m. The location is conveniently located within 2-3 blocks of multiple Metro stops. This role offers a strong benefits package, free CEUs, paid time off, volunteer PTO, and complimentary gym membership. If you’re passionate about helping others build sustainable fitness habits—and want a role that offers both stability and variety—this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
