Personal Trainer and Stretch Therapist
: Job Details :

Guide Personal Training Company, located in Northampton, Massachusetts, is seeking a highly polished and professional personal trainer to join our team. The position is full time, split equally between our small group personal training and individual stretch therapy offerings, and compensation is salary-based and competitive.

About Guide Personal Training Company:

Our thriving training studio engages clients in both one-on-one and small group training, using the tenets of functional fitness to help our clients improve their overall health and well-being. Using a combination of free weight and body weight resistance training, as well as cardiovascular-focused exercise, we design and execute programs to aid fat loss, hypertrophy, and strength development. Our stretch therapy offering is a one-on-one program designed to reduce pain and improve flexibility in a motivating, inclusive environment that our clients love.

Our Team is small, deeply educated, and passionate about assisting our clients. We are seeking an individual who is similarly knowledgeable and motivated to make a difference for clients of all backgrounds, ages, and needs — from the most deconditioned to the most athletic.

Note, we will train and certify you in stretch therapy. While experience is desirable, it is not necessary for this aspect of the position.

• You are an accomplished professional in the personal training industry.

• You are able to work with clients in both one-on-one and small group settings, coordinating multiple disparate workouts efficiently and safely in a small space.
• Your demeanor is empathetic, friendly, and positive, with highly-developed emotional intelligence.
• You are able to motivate clients and keep them accountable, using process goals rather than outcome goals.
• You are willing and excited to work with the queer community, have knowledge of proper pronouns (and a willingness to ask pronouns) and are comfortable using gender-neutral language.
• You have familiarity with nutritional principles underlying body composition change, and can communicate the same simply and concisely.
• You are willing and able to assist with client administration, including meeting with prospective clients and handling daily work in our Training App, Client Relationship Management Software, and Zen Planner.
• You are willing and able to become certified in stretch therapy (which may require travel)
