🚨 We're Hiring: Personal Training Coach🚨
This is not a typical Personal Training job.
If you want to actually change lives and love it, keep reading.
I started Movement Fitness because I was tired of watching great coaches settle for jobs that never matched their potential. We're a coaching-based facility in Rockford, IL, built on relationships, results, and a culture people genuinely love being part of. Small team. Fired up every day. High standards, real fun.
The Role: Semi-Private Personal Training Coach
You'll lead semi-private sessions with ~6 clients at a time, deliver individualized coaching inside a small-group setting, and build the kind of relationships that make people look forward to Monday mornings. We want to be the best hour of our clients' day. You're the one who makes that happen.
You're the right fit if you are:
✅ High-energy, positive, and genuinely love being around people
✅ Confident coaching all fitness levels, first-timers to veteran athletes
✅ The type who notices the details most people miss
✅ A self-starter who doesn't need to be babysat to do great work
✅ Someone who builds trust fast and makes people feel seen
✅ A team player who thrives in a place that actually feels like a team
What you'll do:
• Lead high-quality semi-private training sessions
• Deliver individualized coaching inside a small-group setting
• Modify workouts on the fly based on each person's needs
• Help clients set real goals, and actually reach them
• Bring energy and professionalism to every session
• Contribute to a culture people rave about
Requirements:
• Personal training certification (NASM, NSCA, ACE, ISSA, or equivalent)
• 2+ years of personal training experience •
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Bonus points for strength training experience, movement quality knowledge, or additional certs in nutrition, mobility, or mindset coaching.
Why you'll love it here:
💰 $38,000–$45,000/year based on experience (plus growth opportunities)
🏋️ Free gym membership + provided apparel
📚 Continuing education credits and in-services
🎯 Mentorship and professional development
🕐 Flexible schedule
📈 Real opportunities for advancement
This is the last gym many of our clients will ever join.
We want this to be the last place YOU work too.
