What are the responsibilities and job description for the Personal Trainer — Independent Contractor, Rent Capped position at Culture Fitness?
Personal Trainer — Independent Contractor, Rent Capped at $200/Week
Keep what you earn. Most facilities take a percentage of every session you run, or charge flat monthly rent whether you train that week or not. We don't do either.
At Culture Fitness, you pay only when you're actually training someone:
- $15 per 30-minute session
- $25 per 1-hour session
- Hard cap of $200 per week — no matter how much you train
That cap is the whole deal. Hit about 8 hourly sessions in a week and you've maxed your rent. Everything after that is 100% yours. Slow week? You pay next to nothing. No split, no percentage, no monthly nut hanging over you.
If you've got a full book, this is one of the cheapest places in the area to run it.
The setup
You run your own training business out of our facility as an independent contractor. Your clients, your programming, your rates, your schedule. We're a single-location functional fitness gym built on three things: Strength, Health, and Community.
The classes
Along with your own clients, you teach three group classes per week — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 4:45–5:30 PM, paid at $25/hour on top of everything you make training.
It's a consistent, protected block that's easy to build your week around, and it puts you in front of our members three times a week. That's the most natural client pipeline there is.
Who this is for
You already have a client base and you're looking for a better place to train them. Maybe your current facility takes too much of your revenue, restricts how you program, or doesn't send a single client your way.
You want a real gym with real equipment and a real member community — without the overhead or the split.
What you'll do
- Train your own clients — assessments, program design, progression, coaching form and mechanics.
- Teach the M/W/F 4:45 PM class. We're functional fitness; we'll walk you through how we program so it stays consistent with the rest of the week.
- Keep your training area clean and reset between sessions.
- Be a good presence in the room. Our members are the reason this works.
What we're looking for
- Current certification from a recognized organization (NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA, or equivalent).
- 1 year training clients. An existing client base is a strong plus.
- Solid grasp of exercise physiology, anatomy, and movement mechanics.
- Real experience leading group classes — coaching a room of 15 is a different skill than coaching one person, and we need you good at both.
- Someone people want to be around. We're a community gym, not a rental locker.
The short version
- Rent capped at $200/week, pay-per-session, nothing when you're not training
- $25/hour for three classes a week
- Your clients, your rates, your programming
- A gym that will actually promote you to our members and our community
Interested? Apply here and tell us two things: what your current training situation looks like, and roughly how many clients you'd be bringing with you.
