Fitness Coach (Adult Classes & Personal Training)
Location: Waldorf, MD
Job Type: Part-Time with long-term growth opportunity
Compensation: Commensurate with experience
About FCF Performance
FCF Performance is a boutique training facility in Waldorf, MD built on energy, community, and results. Our adult members don’t just come here to work out — they come because of the people, the atmosphere, and coaches who know their name. We’re growing, and we’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us.
Who We’re Looking For
This role is about personality as much as programming. We want a coach who lights up a room, makes people feel welcome from day one, and genuinely loves helping members show up and stay consistent. If you’re the person who remembers someone’s name, notices when they’ve been gone a week, and celebrates their first pull-up like it’s your own — you’ll fit right in here.
We’re specifically looking for someone interested in building a long-term future with FCF, not filling a gap between other jobs.
What You’ll Do
- Lead adult group fitness classes using our established FCF training program (no need to write your own workouts — we’ve got that covered)
- Deliver 1:1 personal training sessions for adult clients
- Bring high energy and clear, confident coaching cues to every single class
- Modify exercises on the fly for different fitness levels and abilities
- Check members in and manage rosters using our scheduling app (PushPress)
- Keep the training floor clean, safe, and welcoming
- Build real relationships with members — this is what keeps our community strong
- Help cover teammates’ classes when needed
What You Bring
- Nationally recognized personal training or group fitness certification (NASM, ACE, ISSA, AFAA, or equivalent) — required
- Current CPR/AED certification — required (or willing to obtain within 30 days)
- Experience leading group fitness classes strongly preferred
- A genuinely lively, positive, people-first personality — this is non-negotiable for us
- Comfort coaching from an established program rather than designing your own
- Reliability and punctuality — our members count on you being there
- Availability for some early mornings, evenings, and weekends
- Real interest in growing with a company long-term
What We Offer
- Hourly rate commensurate with experience
- Long-term employment opportunity with a clear path to more hours and expanded responsibility
- Free gym membership
- Continuing education and certification renewal support
- A team culture where coaches are valued, supported, and heard
