About The Position

As one of the first coaches to join D1 Training Lincolnshire, you'll have the opportunity to grow with the business from the ground up. We are looking for coaches who want to build a career—not simply work a few hours on the training floor. Coaches who develop strong relationships with athletes and families, build a personal training clientele, take initiative, and grow into additional responsibilities will have opportunities to significantly increase their total earnings over time. D1 Training is an athletic-based group training facility for adults and youth athletes ages 7 and up. Our mission is simple: You pick the goal. We help you get there. We combine expert coaching, proven training systems, and a high-energy environment to help every athlete improve performance, build confidence, and reach their goals. D1 Training Lincolnshire is a brand-new facility, and we're building our coaching team and culture from the ground up. The coaches who join us early will have a unique opportunity to help establish our culture, shape the athlete experience, build relationships within the community, and grow alongside the business. You won't just be joining an established team—you'll be one of the first coaches helping build what D1 Training Lincolnshire becomes. As a D1 Strength & Conditioning Coach, you'll lead group workouts, provide individualized guidance, and create an environment where athletes feel challenged, supported, and motivated. You'll work with athletes of all ages and abilities—from youth athletes developing foundational movement skills to adults pursuing strength and fitness goals to competitive athletes looking to improve performance. This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about strength & conditioning, athlete development, and performance coaching and wants the opportunity to grow with a new facility. Because you'll be joining during the early stages of our business, you'll have the opportunity to establish yourself with our founding members, build relationships with athletes and families from the beginning, and become a key member of our coaching team.
