The Strength & Conditioning Trainer is a coaching professional responsible for delivering safe, effective, and results-driven strength training to Club members through personal training sessions, small group training, and fitness floor support. This role blends technical coaching expertise with genuine hospitality: you are equal parts strength coach, movement educator, and ambassador for the Club's fitness culture.

This is a member-facing role where presence, professionalism, and coaching quality are non-negotiable. You are visible on the fitness floor, engaged with members at every level of experience, and trusted to program intelligently for everyone from the first-time lifter to the seasoned athlete. You represent the standard of what training at the Club means.

Success in this role looks like a full and growing training book, members who see measurable progress and train with confidence, a fitness floor that feels welcoming and expertly supported, and a reputation among members and teammates as the coach who does it right every session.

Essential Responsibilities Training & Program Design • Design and deliver individualized strength and conditioning programs based on member goals, training history, movement assessments, and health considerations. • Conduct member fitness assessments, movement screens, and goal-setting consultations; document baselines and track progress over time. • Coach proper exercise technique, alignment, and movement quality in every session; correct form in real time and prioritize safety over load. • Apply sound programming principles: progressive overload, periodization, appropriate exercise selection, and intelligent progressions and regressions for all fitness levels. • Deliver personal training sessions, small group training, and specialty strength programming as scheduled. • Adapt programming for members with injuries, limitations, or special considerations; refer members to appropriate medical or allied health professionals when needs fall outside scope of practice. • Stay current on strength and conditioning research, coaching methods, and industry best practices; bring that knowledge to the floor.

Member Experience & Floor Presence • Maintain a visible, approachable presence on the fitness floor during assigned floor hours; members should never feel unsupported in the space. • Greet members warmly and by name when known; build genuine relationships that make the fitness experience personal and consistent. • Provide equipment orientations, spot requests, and technique guidance to members on the floor, whether or not they are training clients. • Promote Club fitness programs, personal training services, and small group offerings in a professional, service-first manner. • Support new member fitness onboarding: welcome consultations, facility orientations, and introductions to Club programming. • Handle member questions and concerns with professionalism and follow-through; escalate sensitive or recurring issues to leadership with clear context.

Safety & Equipment Standards • Ensure all training areas, free weight spaces, and equipment are safe, organized, and member-ready throughout every shift. • Re-rack weights, straighten equipment, and restore training spaces to organized condition; hold members and teammates to the same standard. • Sanitize equipment after each training session and support scheduled cleaning rotations on the fitness floor. • Inspect training equipment regularly; promptly report damaged or malfunctioning equipment to management and remove unsafe items from service. • Follow and enforce all Club safety procedures, emergency protocols, and incident reporting requirements

Operational Discipline & Team Standards • Arrive a minimum of 10 minutes prior to each scheduled session or floor shift, prepared and ready to coach. • Manage the training schedule accurately: session bookings, confirmations, cancellations, and session records in Club management software. • Accurately record all hours worked by clocking in and out and maintaining an up-to-date timecard. • Wear professional athletic attire while onsite and represent the Club's standard in appearance and conduct. • Communicate professionally with management via email, phone, and text during normal business hours. • Complete required administrative tasks, training assignments, and company meetings in a timely manner. • Comply with all Club policies, operating procedures, and site-specific SOPs.

Qualifications • Current nationally accredited personal training or strength and conditioning certification required: NSCA-CSCS, NASM-CPT, ACSM, ACE, or equivale
