Personal Trainer

Job Description

Job Description

Create impact. Build a career. Change lives — including your own.

If you're the kind of trainer who lights up when you help someone become a stronger, healthier version of themselves…
If you love learning, connecting, and being part of a mission-driven team…
And if you want a real fitness career (yes, the kind with stability, growth, and actual paid hours)…
Then welcome home.

We’re looking for a full-time Personal Trainer/Coach to join our high-energy, tight-knit teams across our Anytime Fitness clubs , specifically at our Anytime Fitness Stallings location (5409 Potter Road, Stallings, NC 28104).

Why This Role Matters

Our trainers are the heartbeat of our clubs. They don’t just train — they coach, they educate, they connect, and they inspire. They help our members make healthy happen and shape the culture of our community every day.

People don’t come here just to lift weights.
They come here to feel seen, supported, and guided — and you’ll be at the center of that experience.

What Makes Working With Us Different

Lots of gyms promise high hourly rates or “unlimited earning potential.”
You’ve probably read those. You’ve probably also heard how they really work.

We’ll keep this simple:
You’re paid for every minute you’re in the club. Period.
Training, consults, member engagement, floor work, continuing education — if you’re here, you’re paid. No off-the-clock hustling. No unpaid hours. No smoke, no mirrors.

And unlike many fitness environments built on turnover and competition, our clubs run on team , development , and purpose :

✓ You’re not a commodity here — you’re part of something bigger.

We hire people we believe in and invest in their growth, both personally and professionally.

✓ Your career won’t stall.

We offer continuing education, certifications, conference opportunities, networking, and chances to take on more responsibility when you’re ready.

✓ You’ll feel supported, connected, and valued.

Our three clubs operate as one team — close-knit, collaborative, and united by the mission to deliver the best member experience in the Carolinas.

✓ You’ll build real relationships, not just a client list.

We’re in the business of people, not transactions.

What You’ll Actually DoTraining & Coaching

• Lead 1-on-1, small group, and team training sessions
• Design safe, effective, goal-oriented programming for a wide range of abilities
• Provide coaching that goes beyond reps — accountability, mindset, athlete-level encouragement

Member Consultations & Engagement

• Conduct Fitness Consultations for new and existing members
• Build relationships during floor time (learn names, start conversations, make it fun)
• Offer guidance, education, and next-step recommendations

Retention & Connection

• Outreach to inactive members
• Follow-up emails and calls
• Keep detailed notes and maintain touch points that show members we genuinely care

Community & Education

• Create in-club educational displays
• Contribute to social media content
• Participate in community outreach and events
• Bring ideas that make our clubs better — we love them

Operational Excellence

• Keep the club clean and organized
• Support general club operations and program promotion
• Add your personality and presence to the member experience every day

What We’re Looking For Must-Haves

• At least 1 year of training experience
• Accredited training certification (NASM, ACSM, ACE, ISSA, etc.)
• A belief in the full scope of the job: training, learning, cleaning, connecting
• A commute of 30 minutes or less to Matthews/Stallings
• Someone who thrives in a team-centered culture

Bonus Points If You…

• Are early in your career and hungry to grow
• Are seasoned but crave a place where you’re valued, mentored, and not left to fend for yourself
• Bring energy, curiosity, and a natural ability to make people feel comfortable
• Get fired up about helping ordinary people achieve extraordinary change

Schedule & Compensation

• Full-time role (11AM-7PM Monday-Thursday; ~32hrs/wk +/- with potential for expansion to ~36 hrs/wk +/- if deemed necessary)
• Base pay starts at $15.50/hr
• PLUS commissions, spot bonuses, and annual review/club performance bonuses
• Paid for every minute in the club — always
• 401(k) with company match (after eligibility requirements)
• Health benefits for eligible full-time team members
• PTO after 1 year of service
• Holiday pay for 7 major federal holidays each calendar year

This is a career , not a placeholder job. We invest in people who invest in us.

If You’re Still Reading… You’re Probably Our Kind of Trainer

You want to coach.
You want to grow.
You want to be part of a team that believes in what it’s doing.

And you want to work somewhere that matches your effort with opportunity.

If that’s you, we’d love to meet you.
