About the Role

ReYu Paralysis Recovery Centre is seeking a motivated, compassionate, and adaptable Personal Trainer to join our team.

This is not your typical personal training role. You’ll work one-on-one with individuals living with paralysis, neurological conditions, and physical disabilities, helping clients build strength, endurance, mobility, independence, and confidence through individualized exercise programming.

Previous experience in neurological rehabilitation is not required. We are looking for someone with strong foundational training skills, a willingness to learn, and a genuine interest in working with people of all abilities. Specialized training and mentorship will be provided.

Duties & Responsibilities

- Deliver safe, individualized exercise programs based on each client’s goals, abilities, and needs.
- Lead one-on-one training sessions using strength, conditioning, mobility, balance, and functional exercise.
- Adapt exercises creatively for clients with different levels of mobility and physical ability.
- Assist clients with positioning, transfers, equipment set-up, and mobility as required.
- Monitor client response to exercise and modify sessions appropriately.
- Maintain accurate and timely client session documentation.
- Build positive, professional, and encouraging relationships with clients and families.
- Work collaboratively with ReYu’s kinesiology and neurorecovery team.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe training environment.
- Participate in ongoing training and education related to adaptive exercise, disability, and neurorecovery.
- Follow ReYu policies, safety procedures, and skilled standards.

Qualifications Required

- Recognized Personal Training Certification.




- Strong knowledge of exercise technique, strength and conditioning, anatomy, and exercise programming.
- Current Intermediate (Standard) First Aid Certification.
- Current CPR/BLS certification.
- Comfortable working in a hands-on and physically demanding environment, including assisting clients with transfers, positioning, and exercise.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Reliable, professional, adaptable, and comfortable working independently.
- Willingness to learn and receive ongoing coaching and mentorship.
- Passion for helping people work toward meaningful goals.

Assets:

- Diploma or degree in Personal Fitness Training, Kinesiology, Exercise Science, or a related field.
- CSEP, CPTN, CanFitPro, NSCA, ACSM, or other recognized fitness certification.
- Experience working with people with disabilities, neurological conditions, adaptive fitness, or rehabilitation.
- Experience with transfers, mobility equipment, or accessible fitness.

Why ReYu? Take your personal training career beyond the traditional gym.

At ReYu, you’ll learn how to adapt movement and exercise for people with a wide range of physical abilities while developing skills you won't typically gain in a commercial fitness environment.

You’ll work alongside an experienced neurorecovery team, learn specialized equipment and training techniques, and see the impact of your work in ways that go far beyond numbers on a weight stack.

We’re looking for someone who is curious, coachable, creative, and willing to see possibility where others may see limitation.

Come build your skills while helping redefine what fitness and recovery can look like.
