• Software: Trainerize and Mindbody proficiency (required) plus reporting tools.

Responsibilities

• Maintain an active coaching caseload and schedule, delivering high-quality personal training and performance coaching sessions.
• Apply appropriate programming principles to create individualized training plans for general population, tactical, and high-performance athletes as applicable.
• Use objective data (assessment results, readiness, training history, recovery inputs) to drive programming decisions and communicate the “why” clearly to clients.
• Maintain up-to-date client profiles, programming, and recovery protocols for all assigned clients.
• Coordinate with physical therapy and recovery teams to ensure training plans respect clinical restrictions and recovery priorities when applicable.
• Actively promote and integrate memberships at Project Wellbeing, ensuring non-members are warmly handed off to the Membership Sales team.
• Administer and interpret assigned assessments (VO2, RMR, DARI, PEDICS, VALD, DEXA, and future additions) as needed, following all SOPs.
• Adhere to assessment SOPs for preparation requirements, contraindications screening, informed consent process (as required by company policy), data capture, and documentation.
• Ensure assessment results are translated into actionable training and recovery recommendations and are properly reflected in Trainerize programming.

• Maintain Basecamp (or the company’s designated task system) with accurate, current role tasks, departmental deliverables, and execution updates aligned with Trainerize and Mindbody records.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe training environment: weight floor, cardio areas, and assessment labs. Execute daily reset expectations.
