Why Flexx
➔ We pay for your certification: We cover your certification and pay you while you study.
➔ Money: The fitness industry is inconsistent with schedules and pay. Not here. You'll earn $22–$27/hour during your 7 weeks of certification and training, then $52,000–$60,000 salary once you're leading sessions.
➔ Schedule (NO SPLIT SHIFTS): you will have guaranteed hours and a set schedule. Our coaches work 5 days a week with no split shifts.

➔ The team: You'll work alongside 30 of the best coaches in the industry and learn from them every day.
How it works
➔ Weeks 1–7, get certified and trained: You'll earn your certification and go through our Onboarding Track at the same time. We give you the materials and the support. You put in the work.
➔ Onboarding Track: Our Onboarding Track is one of the best in the industry. Our Director of Training and a Training Specialist will train you until you're ready to lead sessions at our standard. You'll be observed and get direct feedback the whole way to fast track your progress.
➔ Then coach: 25–28 coaching hours a week over 5 shifts, small groups of up to 6. Every member's program is built around their goals, movement limitations/injuries, and preferences.
Who we're looking for

➔ HIGH ENERGY: Enthusiastic, positive, and engaged. People notice when you walk in the room.
➔ WELCOMING: You introduce yourself, start conversations, and make people feel comfortable.
➔ ALWAYS HELPING: You look for chances to help, encourage, and connect with people.

➔ FRIENDLY: Extremely personable, respectful, and genuinely interested in people. The friendliest person in the room.
➔ ASSERTIVE: Comfortable speaking up, giving direction, and stepping into uncomfortable situations.
➔ COMMITTED: You want a career, not a side gig. We're investing in you, and we want people who plan to stick around. We ask for a 12-month commitment in exchange for your certification.
