Required Tasks
- Develop Comprehensive Health and Fitness Programs for clients: You’ll receive coaching and training on our fitness system and programs, but you’ll have flexibility to incorporate your training style and knowledge.
- Tracking Client Progress: In order to ensure a client’s success in our programs, you’ll need to track weekly progress, current successes and challenges, review exercise log worksheets and more on a weekly basis. It will be your job to hold a client accountable to his/her health and fitness program to ensure the best results possible.
- Perform Fitness Evaluations: Ideally, you’ll have some fitness assessment skills and can test for bodyweight, girth measurements and blood pressure. You do not need previous experience, but if you do, that’s a bonus.
- Coach clients through six week programs: You’ll be responsible for weekly exercise sessions and keeping detailed weekly progress reports on the clients you’re working with. If a client is having challenges throughout his/her program, you’ll coach and motivate the client and make appropriate changes to ensure consistent progress.
- Demonstrate Proper Exercise Instruction: This is a big one. I need you to be able to provide proper coaching, instruction, and motivation during a clients training session. You should have a working knowledge of the human body (i.e. muscles, movements, functions, etc) and be able to provide appropriate exercises for your client’s goals.
- Provide Ongoing Health and Fitness Education: Our clients rely on us to service all of their health and fitness needs. It is your job as a personal trainer to provide your clients with health and fitness education on various topics that will empower them to lead healthy lives forever. You’ll be provided with educational tools and resources and will be expected to study them and speak about them with your clients. We also spend time covering this in our weekly staff meetings.
- Market yourself: Even though clients enquire with us, you’ll also need to promote yourself and be able to attract clients to train with you. Remember the more clients you can get, the greater your wage!
- Maintain a high level of personal fitness: Realm Training Personal Trainers practice what we preach! We expect you to have your own fitness goals and train on a regular basis. You’ll have your very own section on our website which will be updated regularly so clients and prospective clients can follow what you do in your own training time.
- Attend weekly staff meetings and attend training days as required: We believe that there is never an end to the amount of information and training that a personal trainer can do, which is why we want to keep you up to date with what’s going on in our industry as well as keep you in the loop with the other trainers in our studio. Keeping the lines of communication open with myself and the other trainers is extremely important and we want you to feel a part of our great team.
- Attend weekly Personal Training sessions: As you will be a part of the Realm Training team you’ll receive a weekly Personal Training session by myself personally to finer tune your technical skills and of course keep you fit.
Required Skills
These are the skills you must already have in order to qualify for this position:
- Excellent communication skills: you will be talking with my clients, who are VERY important to me. You must be comfortable conversing both face-to-face and on the phone and know how to conduct yourself professionally, and deliver clear instructions to our clients. I’ll teach you everything you need to do during initial training, but I can’t teach you manners and professionalism.
- People skills and personality: you must LOVE working with people! As mentioned above you must be very comfortable working with people. This is an exciting studio and you must be able to show your clients energy and excitement at all times while working with them.
