What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sports Performance Personal Trainer position at Eastlake Performance?
Are you a self-starter that enjoys working autonomously without micro-management? We are looking for trainers with strong work ethic that enjoy working with athletes and everything in-between. We don't require any sales or quotas, as we procure clients by passive marketing and social media cannels so our trainers can put their focus on clients.
Eastlake Performance is an athletically inspired training gym located in South Lake Union. We have a diverse client population, but the majority come from an athletic background. Our clients are assessed on movement mechanics, exertion, and progress during each session, so that we can maintain a linear progression that is both challenging and obtainable.
We prefer applicants who have at least 1-year of personal training experience, hold a CSCS or willing to pursue one, and live close to Eastlake.
To begin, we have prospective team members go through a "non-paid shadow sports performance internship" to see if it's a good fit for you, the clients, and our team. Depending on your competency and ability to catch on to our programming and deliver an amazing product for the clients, it could be as little as 10-hours of shadowing, up to 20-hours over the course of a few days or a few weeks (this also depends on your availability).
Your Responsibilities
Maintaining Client appointments:
Punctuality and communication are extremely important in this “service business”, we advise that you arrive early and be fully prepared for each session. If you can’t make a session for any reason and unable to find someone to cover, it is important that you contact each client individually, so they can reschedule their appointment accordingly.
Social Media Marketing
Follow the basic structure of our workouts - Dynamic W/U, Pillar Stability, Workout Circuit/s:
Unless a client’s goal is stagnation/maintenance, we should always progress in each session. Any client requesting maintenance should also be properly assessed for mobility and ROM restrictions so we can focus on those biomechanical defaults during sessions in addition to the workout.

We have worked with athletes of all ages in football, basketball, baseball, hockey, polo, pickleball, tennis, swimming, fencing, ultra marathon runners, volleyball, and figure skating. What You Can Expect Beyond our training, we do our best to create a warm and welcoming environment at our gym. You will have an opportunity to train with each trainer, so you can cross-train with different specialties. If you prefer working with a specific trainer, we can accommodate the one-trainer model as well.
