What are the responsibilities and job description for the Personal Fitness Trainer position at Chicago Fit Performance?
We’re hiring a Certified Personal Trainer to join our team at Chicago Fit Performance.
This is more than just a job—it’s a coaching career. If you’ve been in the game for 1–2 years, love helping people, building relationships, and want to level up your skills in a real team environment, read on.
We’re not a big-box gym. CFP is a private, high-touch functional training facility built around semi-private, 1-on-1 personal training and small group training. We’ve been around for over 12 years, and we take pride in coaching at a high level and delivering real results and great experience to clients. Coaching is the LIFEBLOOD of what we do, and we give our coaches the tools and environment they need to be successful and thrive.
If you’re qualified, passionate, coachable, and ready to bring the best out of people, we’d love to hear from you. If hired, you’ll undergo a 2-week paid training to learn our proven systems and philosophies that have made CFP one of the top training gyms in Chicago.
What Can You Expect From Us
Why This Role Is Different
At CFP, we don’t just hand you a clipboard and throw you out there. We teach you how to coach. All new hires go through a 2-week paid onboarding process where you’ll learn our training systems, programming principles, and coaching standards. We also offer ongoing mentorship to help you continue leveling up. We invest in our coaches the same way we expect you to invest in clients.
