We are looking for someone to start out as a part-time fitness coach, lead our group metabolic classes, and who is interested in turning this into a full time position with benefits.
Turn your love of health & fitness into a real career that actually pays like a real career, and doesn’t require any of that nasty high-pressure sales stuff that you have to do at most health clubs.
Benefits:
- A REAL CAREER path – If you are willing to work for it and follow our systems, then you can eventually turn this into a 6-figure career as an employee.
- Intensely rewarding work – we are literally in the life changing business
- An intense learning environment – you will learn more in 6months with us, than 6yrs at a traditional health club.
- No programming on your part. You simply execute our system and coach the participants to move through the workout correctly and safely. We will train you in our system, how to do our classes, and how to modify exercises for all levels of fitness.
- No certification or experience required. We can teach you everything.
- Excellent training – become among the best fitness coaches in the DC-metro area faster than you ever thought possible (We’ve already made over 10yrs of mistakes, so you don’t have to)
- We will help you get multiple certifications (and, far more important, show the very, very few that are actually worth the time to attend and study)
- Good pay (the highest hourly take home pay – $45+/hr take home as an employee – of any personal training job in Washington, DC).
- Fun
- Steady income
- No marketing (we will take care of all of that, all you have to do is master our systems, and wow our members to move ahead)
- No traveling – the members come to us
- Travel stipend (no more parking tickets!)
We are looking for someone who:
- Has an awesome personality: energetic, enthusiastic, caring and motivating
- Who is great with other people – who likes being around others, who others like being around and who is great at motivating others
- Is passionate about fitness and about learning (if you think you know it all, this is not you)
- Is very punctual – we’re only looking for people who arrive early
- Is very professional – clean, well groomed, good language
- Is very reliable – if you’re always on vacation, get sick a lot, or generally have a lot of excuses about why you can’t keep you commitments, then do not get in touch
- Can follow directions – we are only looking for people to implement our program, not someone interested in reinventing the wheel (We are hiring because there is far more demand for our services/system than we can provide, not because people want random workouts by someone they’ve never heard of)
- Who brings their best EVERY day – if you can’t put aside whatever is going on in your life and show up with positive energy to give to our members, then don’t bother
- Who likes to work – like all things worth having in life, a great career is something you need to WORK at
- Disciplined – the minimum educational requirements in our company are 24books in the field per year, 40 staff trainings per year, and 3 seminars in the field per year (these are the minimums)
- Fun – part of our environmental policy is that we don’t allow employees to contribute to deforestation by keeping sticks up their butt
Who should NOT apply?
- Lazy people: the fitness industry is a service business; we serve people most often before and after normal business hours. If you are undisciplined, can’t wake up early and be at the gym by 5:45am for your 6:00am shift, and can’t put in 30hrs on the schedule below, then you can’t cut it in this biz, look somewhere else
- People who live for the weekend: if you look at work as something you do to pay for your time off, please don’t get in touch… we’re in the life changing business and people like you can’t help. (McDonald’s would be a better fit for you.)
- A-holes: this is a people business, if your people skills suck, look somewhere else (you could probably clean toilets though)
Hours we are looking for (you MUST be available to start with a minimum 20hrs of the following on a REGULAR basis):
M-Th 6-11am
M-Th 4:00-9:30pm
Fri 6:00am-5:00pm
Saturdays 8:00am-2:00pm
What to do if you are interested:
- Do not email us
- Do not call us
- Do not visit us
- Send your resume & cover letter to: (Also, it’s very important that you include this password **purplebug** in your cover letter so we know that you actually read this job posting. Put the password in the first sentence of the cover letter, or it the whole thing goes in the trash.)

What Happens Next?
After applying and being accepted by sending in a resume, you will be invited to do a 6 week internship at our facility. This is 20 hours a week minimum and is not paid. During this time you will learn the ropes of TBYW Fitness, become a part of our culture and find out if this is the place for you long term.
We will teach you everything. Once we feel you are ready you will take your first appointment for a Rapid Results Fitness Body Blueprint. These will be on your hourly training shift rate. As you fill your schedule with members (who we will put in front of you) you will be paid a client rate for each hour you are training a member.
You will only need to be at the gym when you are training members. If you do a great job & follow our systems this is how your schedule will grow. The next step is to maintain 32-40 client hours a week and become a full time employee on salary with benefits. We only promote from within the company.
