Role Overview
We are seeking a Personal Trainer to join the Dilligence Training team. This role is ideal for a mission-driven, growth-minded professional who is passionate about fitness, mentorship, and community impact. Personal Trainers at Dilligence are more than coaches — they are role models who embody our values and help clients achieve results inside and outside the gym.
Trainers will deliver individualized and group training sessions, uphold facility standards, contribute to program development, and engage actively in our culture of continuous learning and service.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver high-energy, high-quality training sessions using the Dilligence methodology (functional strength, conditioning, and holistic wellness).
- Conduct client wellness check-ins at the start of each session (stress, sleep, nutrition, recovery, lifestyle).
- Implement intentional session finishes that meet client needs (mobility, core, accessory work, nervous system downshifts).
- Track client progress using PushPress, InBody, and team notes; ensure seamless communication for client hand-offs.
- Uphold DT facility standards: leave spaces better than found, organize equipment, and maintain safety protocols.
- Contribute to client care beyond the gym by encouraging lifestyle change, not just workouts.
- Participate in continued education and contribute new ideas, tools, and innovations to strengthen the DT system.
Qualifications
- Passion for fitness, wellness, and mentorship.
- Personal Training certification (NASM, NSCA, ACE, ISSA, or equivalent preferred).
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills; able to connect with diverse clients and athletes across all age groups.
- Experience training individuals or groups in a professional setting (preferred).
- Growth mindset with commitment to ongoing education and feedback.
- Ability to adapt quickly in dynamic environments (gym, schools, partner sites).
- Alignment with Dilligence culture: accountability, servant leadership, and community-first approach.
Time Commitment & Compensation
- Flexible part-time or full-time schedule, including evenings and weekends.
- Compensation: hourly/session-based pay with opportunities for growth through semi-private training, group coaching, and community initiatives.
- Includes ongoing mentorship, continued education stipends, and leadership development.
Core Expectations
- Professionalism: Arrive 15 minutes early, prepared, and aligned with DT values.
- Flexibility & Pivoting: Be ready to serve in multiple environments — HQ, schools, or partner sites.
- Continued Education: Attend at least two seminars/webinars per year and share learnings with the team.
- Mentorship & Development: Follow the “I do, we do, you do” model, with monthly check-ins and feedback loops.
- Culture Commitments: Mission-driven, community-focused, servant-hearted, and always striving to grow.
Why Join Dilligence?

We believe that everyone is both a mentor and a mentee. As part of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to be poured into, to pour into others, and to reach your full potential beyond this role. Together, we rise.
