Personal Trainer

SCHEDULE

• Part-time (with opportunity to grow client base)

• Hours, including afternoons, evenings, and weekends

Coach with Purpose. Inspire with Heart.

At the YMCA, personal training is about more than sets and reps — it’s about helping people gain confidence, improve health, and feel supported every step of the way.

We’re looking for a knowledgeable and motivating Personal Trainer who is passionate about helping individuals reach their goals in a safe, encouraging, and inclusive environment.

If you believe fitness is personal — and community matters — we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do

As a YMCA Personal Trainer, you will:

• Conduct fitness assessments and goal-setting sessions
• Design safe, effective, and individualized workout programs
• Provide one-on-one coaching and motivation
• Monitor progress and adjust programming as needed
• Build strong, professional relationships with members
• Promote safe equipment use and proper technique
• Model YMCA values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility

You’re not just delivering workouts — you’re building confidence and accountability.

What We’re Looking For

You’re a great fit if you:

• Hold a nationally recognized Personal Training certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, ISSA, etc.)
• Are CPR/AED certified
• Have strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Can build rapport with clients of diverse ages and abilities
• Are self-motivated and professional

Experience working with special populations, beginners, or active older adults is a plus.

Why Train at the YMCA?

Because here:

• Clients come first — not sales quotas

• Every member deserves encouragement and support

• You’re part of a mission-driven organization strengthening our community

We focus on long-term health, not quick fixes.
