What are the responsibilities and job description for the Group Strength & Conditioning Coach (Chicago) position at Club Athletic?
Who We Are
Club Athletic is a private, membership-based fitness concept redefining what a gym can be. We’re built around structured, squad-based training, exceptional coaching, and a genuinely social community that keeps people consistent and connected. Our members don’t just come to work out. They build routines, friendships, and a sense of belonging. Training is the anchor, but the experience extends far beyond the floor through run club, social events, partnerships, and community moments across the city. We’re a growing, high-standards team that cares deeply about craft, culture, and momentum. We move quickly, think intentionally, and value people who take ownership, bring ideas to the table, and want to help build something meaningful — not just maintain the status quo.
Overview
This is an exciting moment to join as a Founding Coach as we launch in Chicago. You are more than an instructor -- you play an instrumental role in the progress and happiness of your members. In addition to delivering an unparalleled coaching experience, you’ll positively contribute to The CAs culture and uphold our core values: Welcoming, Attentive, Consistent, Accountable and Intentional.
