What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sports Performance Coach position at BOLT Fitness & Performance Training?
BOLT FITNESS & PERFORMANCE TRAINING
Chester, NJ | Part-Time Sports Performance Coach | $25–$35/hour
If you became a coach because you care about training — not selling, not babysitting circuits, not performing for applause — keep reading.
We're building world-class training systems at our flagship location in Chester, NJ — and we're looking for a part-time Sports Performance Coach to join the team.
Bolt Fitness & Performance Training serves 200 adults (primarily age 40 ) and 80 athletes (ages 12–20) inside a structured, principle-driven system.
We don't run random workouts. We don't guess. We don't entertain.
We coach.
COMPENSATION
$25–$35/hour depending on experience, for 15–20 hours per week. This is a part-time role.
- Consistent, predictable scheduling
- 0 split
- No sales responsibilities, no lead chasing, no commission pressure
You coach. We handle the rest.
THE ROLE
As our Sports Performance Coach, you will primarily work with our athlete population (ages 12–20) across:
- Sports performance training — speed, power, movement quality, and athletic development
- Work with athletes in a semi-private setting within our structured programming model
- Coordination with the broader coaching staff to ensure athlete progression is tracked and protected
This is not 'run the whiteboard.' This means:
- Managing stimulus and fatigue
- Individualizing on the fly
- Driving measurable progression
- Commanding the room without theatrics
- Protecting the integrity of the training model
- Taking exceptional care of athletes who have trusted us to guide their development
Experience in sports performance coaching is strongly preferred. If your background is in general strength and conditioning and you're serious about growing in the sports performance space, we're open to the conversation — but you need to be genuinely committed to developing that expertise.
WE HIRE ON VALUES FIRST
Skill matters. Culture matters more. These are the principles we operate by:
Clear Is Kind. Feedback is a gift. Say what you mean. Mean what you say.
Be Anti-Fragile. Adapt or die. Challenges are guaranteed. Your response defines you.
White Belt Mentality. You don't have all the answers. Neither do we. Growth is constant.
Do What You Say You'll Do. Trust is the foundation of everything. Follow through.
Keep the Goal the Goal. More isn't better. Better is better. Row in the same direction.
Be Where Your Feet Are. Your 6pm doesn't care that you coached a 6am. Show up for the people in front of you.
Be Genuinely Curious. Details matter. Ask better questions. Care enough to dig deeper.
If that list excites you, we should talk. If it feels like a mismatch, we'd rather you know now than six months in.
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF…
- You just want to 'run workouts'
- You rely on hype instead of competence
- You resist structure and accountability
- You're looking for something you can coast through
- You want a job, not a craft
We are building a professional coaching organization — not a vibes-based gym.
