In-Home Fitness Professional / Certified Personal Trainer
$35–$50/hour + performance incentives
Part-time and full-time opportunities | Flexible scheduling
Your Clients Are Waiting. We Bring the Opportunity to You.
You earned your certification because you wanted to help people become stronger, healthier, and more confident — not because you wanted to spend your career chasing leads around a health club.
At GYMGUYZ, personal training happens wherever our clients need us.
Our fitness professionals coach clients in private homes, residential communities, offices, and organizations, creating an unusually varied career for trainers who enjoy working independently while still being part of a professional team.
We're expanding and looking for certified trainers who combine fitness expertise, reliability, personality, and exceptional client service.
What Makes This Opportunity Different?
Freedom: Build a flexible schedule that works with your availability.
Variety: Train a wide range of clients rather than spending every day in the same gym environment.
Support: Work independently in the field while having an established company and team behind you.
Career Development: Paid onboarding, continuing development, recertification discounts, and opportunities to advance into Master Trainer and leadership positions.
Compensation: Earn $35–$50/hour depending on experience, plus performance bonuses and mileage reimbursement.
Benefits: Health plan and pre-tax retirement/401(k) options are available.
No Traditional Gym Sales: Unless specifically agreed upon in advance, your job is to coach clients — not sell memberships.
A Typical Day Could Include
- Coaching a private client in their home
- Developing an individualized strength or conditioning program
- Updating workouts and client notes through our technology platform
- Performing a progress reassessment
- Traveling to your next scheduled client
- Coaching clients with different ages, abilities, and fitness objectives
- Communicating progress with clients and the GYMGUYZ team
- Celebrating milestones and keeping clients accountable
You'll use platforms such as Mindbody and Trainerize to help manage scheduling, programming, session documentation, and communication.
You'll Need
- Current nationally recognized personal training certification — NASM, ACE, ISSA, ACSM, or equivalent
- Current CPR/AED certification
- Reliable transportation
- Willingness to travel locally between appointments
- Confidence using mobile and web applications
- Excellent communication skills
