What are the responsibilities and job description for the Fitness Coach position at Anytime Fitness?
Coach Position - Anytime Fitness Tacoma
About Us
PH Fitness is a family-owned company operating three Anytime Fitness locations in Sequim, Silverdale, and Tacoma. Our Sequim club ranks in the top 100 of 2,500 Anytime Fitness clubs in North America and earned Most Improved in our first year of ownership. We're building toward more locations, and our North Star as owners is this: get the average employee here to a six-figure career. Everything about how we run this company is reverse engineered from that goal. It takes a high standard and a strict model, because the math only works with incredible people running incredible businesses. We staff three studs per location and get more done than most gyms do with six or eight. Go read the reviews at any of our three clubs and see what members say about our team, usually by name. That's the group you'd be joining.
The role
The bulk of your week is coaching small group personal training sessions, 1 to 6 clients per session, primarily evenings plus Saturdays. Beyond the sessions themselves, you'll own:
- Fitness consultations: understand a member's goals, design the path forward, and convert the ones who need guidance and accountability into training clients
- Programming for clients within our company-wide 8-week training cycles. Programming is a team effort across all three clubs, and your input shapes how we coach everywhere.
- Client results: tracking progress and making sure every client is progressing, not just showing up
- New member onboarding with movement assessments, goal setting, and check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days
- Member retention: proactive outreach, celebrating milestones, following through consistently
- Club presence: being a real, visible part of the team beyond your sessions
You won't be alone. You'll have the support of the coaching team across our other two locations, our managers, and us as owners. We're hands-on, available, and invested in your success.
The career path
We built a leveled career path with objective promotion gates. Certifications, client milestones, and measurable results, never tenure or politics. You will always know exactly what the next level requires and what it pays. The path runs from Coach through Senior Coach and beyond as we grow, and we are genuinely growing.
The coaches who advance here drive the business: acquiring clients, keeping them, and getting them results people talk about. Who you are carries the same weight as what you produce. We promote people our members love and our teammates trust, and that standard holds at every level.
Who thrives here
- You take ownership. You see what needs doing, handle it, and follow through every time
- You believe coaching is a craft and you take the work seriously even when no one is watching
- You put real care into the business side. Consultations, follow-ups, and member outreach are what grow this club, and since our coaches share clients, your effort lifts the whole team
- You build real relationships. On our team that looks like grabbing lunch with a client, remembering to ask about their mother-in-law, giving a member a ride home when their car breaks down, and sending flowers with a handwritten card when someone loses a family member
- You make your teammates better. We're building a championship team, and every person on it raises the level for everyone else
- You want a voice in how things are done. We expect you to think, push back, and contribute
- You know this can genuinely be the best job you've ever had. Working in fitness with people bettering themselves is a privilege
Compensation and benefits
- Competitive hourly pay with a defined, leveled career path
- Monthly bonus structure tied to the club's personal training revenue, so when the club wins, you win

- CPR/AED certification covered
- Continuing education credits paid by the company
- Free membership to all 5,000 Anytime Fitness clubs worldwide
- Team outings and events throughout the year
Qualifications
- Strong knowledge of exercise technique, programming, and body mechanics
- Current certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, NSCA, or ISSA) or willing to obtain within 90 days, we cover the cost
- 1 year of in-person training experience preferred, but we'll consider the right person with the right disposition and a steep learning curve

- Available evenings (until ~7pm) and Saturdays
- Full-time, 32 to 40 hours per week
