Now Hiring: Substitute Fitness Coach / Personal Trainer (Flexible Contractor Role)

Location: Ascent Fitness – On Site

Job Type: Contractor Role

Hours: Approximately 3–6 hours available/week, No minimum hour commitment

Compensation: $35–$45 per class/session, Gym membership


Position Overview
We’re looking for a flexible and values-aligned Substitute Coach / Personal Trainer to fill in for regular coaches during vacations, sick days, and other planned or last-minute absences. This is a contractor position—you will be offered open shifts which you can choose to accept or decline. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to coach occasionally, build experience, or stay involved in fitness without a regular schedule

About Us
At Ascent Fitness, we believe in making fitness inclusive, joyful, and accessible to all. Our body-affirming space primarily serves women, LGBTQ individuals, and other underestimated populations in the strength and conditioning world. We actively seek coaches who reflect the diversity of our community. We especially welcome applications from BIPOC, fat, and LGBTQ+ trainers.


Key Responsibilities

Coaching:

  • Lead group fitness classes and 1:1 intro sessions
  • Assess client needs and scale movements appropriately
  • Deliver workouts based on our Empower and Approach programs
  • Foster a safe, upbeat, and body-positive class environment
  • Provide clear instruction, encouragement, and inclusive movement options
  • Attend occasional coaching meetings and educational events

Client Engagement & Admin:

  • Greet and support members with warmth and professionalism
  • Assist with scheduling, attendance, and session follow-up
  • Communicate clearly with management about client needs

Facility Care:

  • Help maintain a clean and organized training environment

What We’re Looking For

Schedule Needs

  • Hours may vary and can include:
    • Weekdays between 5:45 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.
    • Saturdays & Sundays between 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

We don’t expect full availability, but we are looking for someone with flexibility and availability during early mornings (before 10 a.m.), evenings (after 4 p.m.), and/or weekends, as most of our open shifts fall outside typical daytime hours.


How To Apply:
Please submit a brief cover letter to luca@ascent.fit explaining why you’re a good fit, previous experience, and how your values align with our mission.
