About The Position

KlickWay Athletics is hiring full-time Lead Elite Coaches for its Everett location as the company continues to grow from four clubs. The Lead Elite Coach sets the coaching standard on the gym floor, delivers high-quality client training, develops newer coaches, and contributes to both personal and team sales. Coaches are expected to build and retain their own client book and continue selling training for other coaches when their own schedules are full. Lead coaches who develop others are considered first for head coach and other leadership roles. The schedule has two openings, with a set start time of either 6 AM or 3 PM on each scheduled day. The remaining hours in each eight-hour workday may be arranged around clients’ training times, subject to the schedule agreed with the general manager. Compensation includes per-session pay, hourly pay for scheduled time outside sessions, sales commissions, quarterly bonuses, and a four-week guaranteed hourly rate while building a client base. The posting reports that full-time coaches in similar roles earned $85,000 to $95,000 in 2025 before commissions on sessions sold for other coaches.
