Fitness Trainer Paid Certification Provided

About the role

We're looking for 1–2 people at Workout Anytime Aiken who are into fitness and good with people. You'll learn our RAMP coaching system — a structured, science-based program that gives members personalized workout plans — and get paid to do it. This is a real career path, not a side gig.

Responsibilities

• Help members with goal reviews, body composition scans, and strength assessments
• Teach members how to follow their custom workout program
• Monitor progress, answer questions, and adjust plans as needed
• Build genuine relationships with members over months and years
• Cover the front desk as needed (check-ins, tours, keeping the gym running)

Requirements

• You work out regularly and enjoy helping others
• You're coachable — willing to learn a structured system and follow it
• You're reliable and show up on time
• You're not looking for a high-pressure sales environment
• You're not interested in freelancing your own training methods

Qualifications

• Former athletes, military spouses, fitness enthusiasts, exercise science students — all welcome
• No personal training certification needed (we'll pay for it)
• No college degree required
• No prior gym work experience required

Skills

• Coachability
• Reliability
• People skills
• Structured systems

Benefits

• $10/hr base + 40% commission on every training session delivered (typical effective rate: $14–$24/hr depending on session volume)
• We pay for your personal training certification (worth $500+) — you keep it forever
• Paid training on our RAMP system, Styku body scanning, and ongoing education
• Clear career path: Front Desk/RAMP Coach → Certified Metabolic Technician → RAMP Director
• Free gym membership and employee discounts
• A team environment — no competing for leads, just helping members succeed

Pay

Base rate: $10/hr for all floor time
Paid training sessions: You earn 40% of the session rate ($14, $16, or $18 per half-hour session depending on session tier)
RAMP orientations and unpaid appointments: $12/hr ($10 base + $2)

Schedule

Hours vary based on your availability and the needs of the gym. Typically, trainers run 3–5 sessions per shift, earning $15–$21/hr effective. Higher volume means higher pay.
