A quick note from Founder Andy Twellman
Personal training can be a tough profession.
Many coaches spend years working split shifts, driving all over town, fighting for space on crowded gym floors, and dealing with the uncertainty that comes with inconsistent schedules and unpredictable income.
I’ve been in the industry for more than 25 years and have experienced plenty of those challenges myself.
When I started Driven Performance Training in 2009, my goal was simple: create a place where great coaches could build lasting relationships with clients, continually improve their craft, and enjoy a stable, rewarding career doing work they genuinely love. Just as importantly, I wanted to build a team that supports one another rather than competes with one another.
Today, many of our client relationships span years, and in some cases decades. Our coaches collaborate regularly, share ideas freely, and work together to provide an exceptional experience for every client who walks through our doors.
If you’re looking for a long-term professional home where coaching is treated as a craft and relationships matter, we’d love to hear from you.
