What are the responsibilities and job description for the Personal Trainer / Fitness Coach position at Pittsburgh North Fitness?
Personal Trainer / Fitness Coach
Pittsburgh North Fitness | Wexford, PA
Do you love helping people?
Are you the kind of person who gets excited watching someone accomplish something they never thought they could?
At Pittsburgh North Fitness, we specialize in helping adults over 40 get stronger, move better, lose weight, and continue doing the things they love for as long as possible.
We're looking for caring, energetic people who want to build a career coaching real people—not just counting reps.
No experience as a trainer? That's okay.
If you have the right attitude, work ethic, and desire to learn, we'll teach you everything you need to become an exceptional coach.
What You'll Do
As a Fitness Coach, you'll work with members in our semi-private and one-on-one personal training programs.
You'll help people who may be dealing with:
- Arthritis
- Joint pain
- Previous injuries
- Balance concerns
- Weight loss goals
- Strength loss
- Simply wanting to feel younger and healthier
Every workout is already designed by our Head Trainer, allowing you to focus on what matters most:
- Building relationships
- Coaching great movement
- Encouraging members
- Making every person feel successful
- Creating an experience that members genuinely look forward to every week
We're Looking For Someone Who Is...
- Positive and encouraging
- Reliable and professional
- Loves working with people
- Comfortable speaking in front of small groups
- Passionate about health and fitness
- Coachable and eager to learn
- Team-oriented
- Willing to give every member an amazing experience
A personal training certification is helpful, but not required. We'll help the right person earn one.
Why Coaches Love Working Here
Unlike many gyms, we don't expect you to sell memberships or build your own client list.
Instead, you'll receive:
- Paid coaching education
- Hands-on mentoring
- A structured coaching development program before coaching members independently
- Ongoing education to continue improving your coaching skills
- Consistent programming already written for you
- A supportive team environment where coaches work together—not compete for clients
- The opportunity to truly change lives
- Flexible part-time scheduling (10–20 hours per week)
Our goal isn't simply to hire trainers.
Our goal is to develop exceptional coaches.
Our Culture
Culture is one of the things we're most proud of.
We believe the best coaching happens when our team supports one another, shares ideas, and celebrates each other's successes. Our members belong to Pittsburgh North Fitness—not to one individual coach—so we work together to provide a consistent, high-quality experience no matter who they're training with.
If you're looking for a place where teamwork, professionalism, and continuous learning matter, you'll fit right in.
Growth Opportunities
We're looking for someone who wants more than "just a part-time job."
As you develop your coaching skills and gain experience, there are opportunities for increased responsibilities, additional coaching hours, leadership roles, and higher earning potential as Pittsburgh North Fitness continues to grow.
We love promoting from within whenever possible.
