Platoon Fitness runs a 30-year proven system and one of the most decorated training programs in the field. We're hiring two instructors to deliver elite one-on-one training to executives, professionals, older adults, and athletes — working alongside physical therapists, massage therapists, and concierge physicians.
Some evening availability required. Willingness to train at or travel to our Philadelphia location is a plus.
Start at $35/hour — and grow from there. Your pay rises as you add to the team and level up your own skills. We pay for the certifications that raise your rate, so getting better and earning more are the same move here. Top of our band is $65/hour plus.

- Background in strength training, athletic performance, or post-rehab work
- Experience with executives, professionals, older adults, or athletes
- Strong program design, movement assessment, and progression skills
What you'll do
- Deliver high-level, individualized personal training
- Design and progress programs around real client goals
- Collaborate with PTs, massage therapists, and concierge physicians on client care
- Focus on long-term client development and retention
Why trainers stay here
- Zero sales, zero quotas — you coach, we handle the rest
- An established book of clients from day one
- Pay that grows with your contribution and your credentials — and we help pay for those credentials
- A mandatory monthly continuing-education class the whole team attends — including leadership
- Real mentorship, a fully equipped facility, and a genuine team environment
- Clear advancement path
We especially want to hear from women in strength and performance coaching. We're intentional about building a staff that reflects our clients, and we're actively growing our roster of female trainers — if that's you, we want you on this team.
