Join Planet Fitness as a Personal Trainer and Transform Lives Every Day!

Are you a passionate and driven fitness professional looking to make a real impact? At Planet Fitness, we're not just offering a job – we’re inviting you to join a dynamic team that’s all about empowering clients to achieve their health and fitness goals. We’re searching for exceptional Personal Trainers who bring expertise, energy, and a deep commitment to helping others succeed.

As a Personal Trainer with us, you’ll design and deliver personalized fitness programs, partner with clients to see real results, and build long-term relationships. You’ll be more than a trainer – you’ll be a motivator, a guide, and an essential part of our community’s fitness journey.

What You’ll Do:

Inspire and Support Clients

  • Motivate clients every step of the way, helping them improve endurance, strength, flexibility, and overall wellness.
  • Educate and Empower – Provide guidance on form, technique, and safe use of equipment to help clients reach their goals.
  • Be Their Champion – Deliver ongoing support, positive reinforcement, and encouragement to keep clients on track.

Drive Results and Build Your Client Base

  • Hit Monthly Targets – Engage clients and prospective members, follow up, and build a solid client base.
  • Market Your Expertise – Promote your personal training services through community outreach, in-club events, and marketing.
  • Grow Your Network – Develop referrals and build your reputation within our fitness family to achieve and exceed sales goals.

Deliver an Outstanding Experience

  • Provide Personalized Programs – Create customized training plans that meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
  • Exceed Expectations – Offer an enthusiastic, educational, and fun experience that keeps clients coming back.
  • Be a Positive Presence – Make each training session a motivating, supportive, and uplifting experience.

What We’re Looking For

Passion and Expertise

  • A genuine love for health and fitness with a solid foundation of knowledge to match.
  • Nutrition knowledge is a plus!

Education and Certification

  • High school diploma or GED required; a Bachelor’s degree in a fitness-related field is a plus.
  • CPR certification (or willingness to obtain immediately).
  • National certification (or readiness to obtain certification upon hire).

Experience

  • Ideally, 1-2 years of experience in personal training or coaching, or a strong background in sales, fitness, customer service, or hospitality.
  • A proven track record of success in client engagement and fitness results.

Skills and Personal Qualities

  • Tech-savvy with proficiency in basic computer programs.
  • Outstanding communication skills and a vibrant, enthusiastic personality.
  • Collaborative and positive attitude with a team-oriented mindset.
  • Adaptable schedule, with the ability to work weekends and holidays as needed.

Why Join Planet Fitness?

At Planet Fitness, you’ll join a team dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives. We provide the tools, support, and opportunities to build a thriving personal training career. If you're ready to inspire, grow, and achieve – we want you on our team. Let’s help people live stronger, healthier lives together!

Compensation: $13.00 per hour
