Full-Time Personal Trainer

North Star Fitness | Winnipeg, Manitoba

Starting Wage: $32.50/hour

Company Overview

At North Star Fitness, we are proud to be Small and Local. Built for You. Coaching First.

Since 2009, we have been committed to delivering exceptional coaching in a welcoming, personalized and education-driven environment where our members can thrive.

We believe true health is built on four essential pillars: Exercise, Nutrition, Sleep and Mental Health. Our goal is not simply to put people through workouts. We want our clients to understand the “why” behind what they are doing so they can move better, feel better and live better for life.

What makes North Star Fitness different is simple: we are a coaching facility.

We don’t sell supplements, clothing, tanning or food, and we don’t offer open gym memberships to the public. Everyone who walks through our doors is here to be coached.

Our private facility is designed around individualized attention and includes:

- 1-on-1 Personal Training in private, dedicated training spaces
- Semi-Private Personal Training with small groups of up to six members
- In-house Physiotherapy and Massage Therapy that work alongside our coaching team to provide integrated care
- Small-group classes programmed around our members and adjusted based on individual needs

Everything we do comes back to one philosophy: Coaching First.

Why Work at North Star Fitness?

If you want to simply show up, train the clients handed to you and go home, this probably isn’t the right prospect for you.

We are looking for someone who wants to build a career in personal training.

This is a full-time intrapreneur position. You’ll have the facility, systems, mentorship, education, reputation and support of North Star Fitness behind you, but you will also be expected to take ownership of your career.

That means building relationships, marketing yourself, promoting your services, creating opportunities and actively working toward building and maintaining a full clientele.

You won’t be doing it alone.

We believe that if we hire the right person, it’s our responsibility to give them the tools and support they need to succeed.

What You’ll Get

- Starting wage of $32.50/hour
- Ongoing mentorship from a coach with more than 15 years of industry experience




- Access to our complete online education and training courses
- Discounted continuing education opportunities for the right candidate
- Systems and support to help you build and retain your clientele
- The opportunity to learn alongside experienced coaches and healthcare professionals
- A collaborative environment where trainers share knowledge and help each other improve
- The autonomy to develop your own coaching style while working within the standards and values of North Star Fitness
- An opportunity to build a long-term career, not simply pick up a few training hours

Who We’re Looking For We hire for character and potential before experience.

Of course, education and experience matter, but we don’t believe the person with the longest resume is automatically the best coach.

We can teach systems.

We can develop coaching skills.

We can help you learn how to market yourself and build a clientele.

But there are certain qualities you need to bring with you.

We are looking for someone who is:

Humble.

You’re coachable, open to feedback and willing to admit when you don’t know something.

Hungry.

You want to grow. You’re willing to work for opportunities rather than waiting for them to appear.

Smart.

You understand people. You communicate well, read situations and know that great coaching is about much more than exercises and programs.

You should also have

- A genuine passion for helping people
- A strong desire to continually learn and improve
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Reliability and professionalism
- A willingness to market and promote yourself
- Comfort using social media as a tool to build your reputation and clientele
- The ability to work independently while contributing to a team
- A long-term interest in building a career in personal training

This Is a Full-Time Position We want to be very clear about this before you apply.





We are only looking for someone who wants to pursue personal training full time.

This is not intended to be a side job or a few extra hours around another career. Building a successful personal training clientele takes time, consistency and effort, and we want to invest our mentorship and resources into someone who wants to build something long term.

Your schedule will grow alongside your clientele, and you will be expected to actively participate in building that clientele through relationships, self-promotion, marketing and involvement within the North Star Fitness community.

DO NOT APPLY IF...

- You’re looking for clients to simply be handed to you
- You’re unwilling to market or promote yourself
- You can’t work effectively as part of a team
- You’re only interested in workouts and aesthetics rather than actually coaching people
- You shy away from hard work or personal responsibility
- You struggle to communicate promptly and professionally
- You aren’t open to feedback or continued education
- You’re looking for personal training to be a part-time side job

How to Apply If you’re early in your career and worried that you don’t have enough experience, don’t let that stop you from applying.

We would rather hire someone with the right character, work ethic and potential and help them become an exceptional coach than hire someone experienced who isn’t aligned with how we do things.

If you are humble, hungry and smart, care deeply about helping people and want an opportunity to build a career in personal training, we want to hear from you.
