Dear Prospective Fitness Trainer,

First of all, thanks for taking the time to visit this site.  It's my hope that you have precisely what I need in a fitness trainer so I can take this page down immediately and put you to work in the fun and rewarding coaching position I have available.

So let me tell you about me, my company and the coaching position.

My name is Kevin Lau and I run a fitness and nutrition coaching company called Fitness Together in Lee's Summit, MO.

My business is dedicated to helping women and men achieve their health and fitness goals through customized nutrition and fitness programs.

And my business is growing!

I'm looking for an enthusiastic, motivated, and energetic person to start training some of our current clients and future additional clients.

My studio is located right off I-435 and View High Dr. in Lee's Summit.

I currently offer one-on-one and small group personal training & nutrition programs and nutritional coaching which educate, motivate, and support men and women to improve their health and fitness.  Our clients begin with a coaching program that includes: nutritional coaching, exercise program design, fitness assessments, and personal training 2 to 5 times per week here at the studio.

Oh yeah, I'm also very fair, respectful, and appreciative.  I like having fun and making money providing highly valuable fitness services and products.  You will be compensated fairly, treated fairly and I will certainly look for ways to pay you more for your efforts if they warrant it.  I want someone who enjoys working with people and making a difference in the lives of others... because that's what we do in my studio.

Tasks You'll Be Expected To Perform

  *Develop Comprehensive Health & Fitness Programs For Clients: You'll receive coaching and training on our fitness system and programs, but you'll have flexibility to incorporate your training style and knowledge.

  *Tracking Client Progress:  In order to ensure a client's success in our programs, you'll need to track weekly progress, current successes and challenges, review client nutrition and exercise log worksheets and more on a weekly basis.  It will be your job to hold client accountable to his/her health and fitness program to ensure the best results possible.

  *Perform Fitness Evaluations:  Ideally, you'll have some fitness assessment skills and can test for: body composition, bodyweight, girth measurements, heart rate and various strength and flexibility tests.  You do not need previous experience, but if you do, that's a bonus.

  *Coach Clients Through Their Training Program:  You'll be responsible for weekly exercise sessions and keeping detailed weekly progress reports on the clients your working with.  If a client is having challenges throughout his/her program, you'll coach and motivate client and make appropriate changes to ensure consistent progress.

  *Demonstrate Proper Exercise Instruction:  This is a big one.  I need you to be able to provide proper coaching, instruction, and motivation during a client training session.  You should have a working knowledge of the human body ( i.e. muscles, movements, functions, etc)  and be able to provide appropriate exercise for client's goals.

  *Provide Nutritional Coaching using our Nutrition Together system:  To ensure the best results a client needs to be eating the right things.  You'll learn our Nutrition Together system to help them achieve even better results.

  * Provide Ongoing Health and Fitness Education:  Our clients rely on us to service all of their health and fitness needs.  It is your job as a fitness coach to provide your clients with health and fitness education on various topics that will empower them to lead healthy lives forever. You'll be provided with education tools and resources, will be expected to study them and speak about them with your clients.  We also spend time covering this in our weekly staff meetings.

Required Skills

These are the skills you must already have in order to qualify for this position:

  *Good Communication Skills:  You will be talking with my clients, who are VERY important to me.  You must be comfortable conversing in person and on the phone and know how to conduct yourself professionally, and deliver client instructions to the clients.  I'll teach you everything you need to do during a training session, but I can't teach you manners and professionalism.

  *People Skills and Personality:  You must LOVE working with people (As mentioned above you must be very comfortable working with people.  This is an exciting studio and you must be able to show your clients energy and excitement while working with them).  

  *Health and Fitness Education:  You do not need personal training experience, but you should have a working knowledge of health and fitness.

  Bonus Skills

If you have these additional skills, your resume will go right to the top of the stack (but if you don't have these skills, you should still apply because these are not mandatory).

*Previous personal training experience

*Basic nutrition knowledge

*National Fitness Certification

*Kinesiology or other health/fitness related degree

*CPR certified

How To Apply

I'm looking to hire the right person relatively quickly.  So if this job sounds good to you, then complete the web form on the bottom and submit your resume and we'll contact you by phone if you made the next step.

Owner, Fitness Together

P.S. This is not the type of job where just showing up is enough.  Performance is everything to me.  If you perform, you will be rewarded.  I want nothing more than to find a person who takes real interest in doing work and taking care of our clients.  If that's you, I promise that $16/hour is only the starting point.  I recognize and reward performance!

With all that said, as I mentioned in the headlines on this page, enthusiasm and a positive attitude go a long way in my book.  I'm a very positive, upbeat business owner and appreciate those qualities in others.  As long as you have the basic skills I mentioned, and a great attitude, you're definitely a candidate!  So submit your information today!
