Life Coach jobs in Neston

We're looking for a part time Coach/Personal Trainer to join T5 Fitness on Bowling Hill, Chipping Sodbury. You'll start by taking over a set of our existing small group personal training and SWEAT sessions, coaching members who already train with us. As you grow in, so does the role: more sessions, more time with members, and a real say in how we look after them.

This isn't a bootcamp job. It's coaching. Small groups, personal programmes, and members who need guiding, not shouting at.

What you'll do from day one

• Coach our small group personal training (SGPT) sessions, working from each member's personalised programme
• Run SWEAT sessions, our friendly fitness class open to all members
• Adapt exercises on the spot for stiff backs, sore knees, old injuries and low-confidence days
• Learn every member's name, goal and what they're working around.
• Spot when someone's struggling, quiet or about to drop off, and flag it
• Log attendance and session notes in TeamUp, and follow programmes in Perform
• Open up, close down and keep the gym clean, tidy and safe

You'll be covering sessions members already love. Your first job is to earn their trust, not change everything.

How the role grows

Once you're settled in, you'll take on more of the member experience:

• Running additional sessions, including new time slots as membership grows
• Doing regular member check ins to keep people accountable and on track
• Carrying out assessments for new trialists before they start
• Guiding trialists through their 30 Day Trial or 6 Week Kickstart, step by step
• Helping run member events and building the community side of T5

We're growing the coaching team. The aim is for the right person to grow with us, with first shot at more hours as they become available.

Who we're looking for

You must have:

• A Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification (or higher) or degree in Strength and Conditioning or similar (nearly qualified will be considered)
• Confidence coaching strength training safely: squats, hinges, pushes, pulls and carries, with sensible regressions and progressions on demand.
• The ability to swap between having a calm, warm, patient way with people who don't think gyms are for them, but also to push people out of their comfort zone to get them the best results
• Reliability. Members plan their lives around these sessions. So you will need to show up for them.

Nice to have:

• A degree in Strength and Conditioning or Sport Science or futher health and fitness qualifications
• A valid first aid certificate
• Experience coaching adults over 30, ideally 40 to 60 and beyond
• Experience with posture, joint pain or people returning to exercise after injury
• Experience with Coaching software(s)

This probably isn't for you if:

• You think good coaching means pushing someone to their limits, shouting "one more rep"
• Your answer to nutrition is a meal plan
• You'd rather be a cheerleader for a class of 30 doing Hyrox, than a personal coach a group of a few

Who you'll be coaching

Our members are mostly 40 to 60, with plenty in their 70s and 80s too. Busy jobs, families, grandkids, etc. Most of them have tried big gyms, bootcamps or diets before and been left feeling lost or judged.

They're not lazy and they're not unmotivated. They've just never had the right support. They want to feel strong again, move without aches, and keep up with life. Your job is to give them the structure, guidance and confidence to do it.

What it's like working here

We're a small, owner-run team. You'll work alongside Simon (owner and Head Coach) and other coaches, and you'll be supported properly while you settle in.

Service and member experience come first, every time. Members stay with us for years because they feel looked after, and we expect every coach to protect that.

In return, you get a friendly, no-ego gym, members who are genuinely good company, and plenty of banter.

Also you'll receive long term progression with no limits to potential and earnings.
