Personal Trainer

At A.P.E we are more than a performance facility — we are a growth environment built on trust, communication, and mentorship. We specialize in training kids, teens, and developing athletes, with an approach grounded in:

• Supportive, relationship-based coaching
• Safety and confidence-building
• Clear communication with athletes and families
• Collaboration and respect among staff
• A clean, organized, professional training environment

We are a gym focused around helping athletes perform at the highest level. Our trainers work closely with the athletes and parents to create systems, protocols, and programs necessary to provide structure, accountability and discipline to our clients. You will work with between 3-6 athletes per session.

PLEASE READ. We are looking for coaches willing to work the open shift. Our gym opens at 5am, staff arrival time is 4:45am. We also need trainers in the afternoon between 12pm-8pm.

Many of our most successful coaches bring a coaching style that is encouraging, empathetic, structured, and communication-driven — qualities we highly value and intentionally support.

If you thrive in a culture that values community, emotional intelligence, and athlete development, you’ll feel at home here.
