Hey trainers! We wanted to let you know that BootcampFitness / CrossFit Kansas City (Coach Rut’s gym) is hiring. Check out the details below:
The Position:
BootcampFitness / CrossFit Kansas City is looking to add new trainer(s) to direct private training sessions, introductory sessions and lead group classes. Candidates are expected to recruit and retain clients and are assisted in this by management (walk-ins and calls will be referred to you when appropriate, but we do not guarantee personal training clients). Trainers are largely responsible for generating their own Personal training clientele. We have not found this to be a problem for motivated individuals.
Compensation:
Compensation is based on member recruitment and member retention. The trainer will receive a percentage of the paying clients fees. This percentage increases as the number of clients the trainer is responsible for increases. The retention of clients plus the increase in the number of clients determines the overall salary. Our trainers are professionals and our plan allows for them to earn a professional income. Trainers are independent contractors and have a large degree of autonomy.
Ideal Candidates
We prefer experience as either a personal or group trainer and to be familiar and comfortable with performing and instructing strength lifts and general conditioning work. Experience with the Olympic lifts on at least a basic level is ideal. No specific certifications are required, but education and credentials will be considered. We will train the ideal candidate even when lacking professional experience.
You must be ambitious, enthusiastic, punctual, reliable and motivated to continually learn and improve. We are looking for a long-term commitment to working at BootcampFitness / CrossFit Kansas City. Ideal candidates have an interest in developing apprenticeship programs, and educational material however this is secondary to competence as a trainer and being a solid member of the team. Management track opportunities exist for exceptional candidates.
Expectations and Details
