Certified Personal Trainer

About DNA Fitness

DNA Fitness (Diverse Natural Athletics) is a locally owned and operated fitness facility in Elmira, Ontario. As we prepare to move into our brand-new expanded facility, we are continuing to grow our Personal Training department and are looking for a motivated, knowledgeable and personable Certified Personal Trainer to join our team.

DNA works with clients of all experience levels—from complete beginners taking their first steps into fitness to experienced lifters and athletes. Our goal is to provide professional, individualized coaching while creating an environment where clients genuinely enjoy showing up and training.

This is an opportunity to join an established and growing local gym with an active membership base, incoming PT leads and the opportunity to build a robust, consistent client roster.

Responsibilities

- Deliver professional one-on-one and small-group personal training sessions
- Assess clients’ goals, abilities, limitations and training experience
- Design individualized training programs based on client goals
- Provide proper exercise instruction, technique correction and progression
- Help clients with accountability, goal setting and long-term adherence
- Provide general nutrition guidance within your professional scope of practice
- Track client progress and adjust programming as required
- Build strong relationships with clients and provide an exceptional coaching experience
- Maintain regular communication with clients outside of scheduled sessions when appropriate
- Conduct consultations with prospective personal training clients
- Assist with converting qualified PT leads into long-term clients
- Maintain accurate client notes, programs and scheduling
- Help maintain a clean,



professional and organized training setting
- Participate in DNA events, challenges and community initiatives when required
- Represent DNA professionally both inside and outside of the facility
- Work collaboratively with the rest of the DNA training and management team

Qualifications

- Recognized Personal Training certification
- Current First Aid & CPR certification
- Strong understanding of resistance training, exercise programming and proper technique
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Professional, dependable and punctual
- Comfortable working with clients of different ages, abilities and experience levels
- Ability to motivate clients while creating a positive and supportive training environment
- Strong organizational and time-management skills
- Willingness to continue learning and developing professionally

Previous personal training experience is an asset; however, we are also willing to consider a newer certified trainer who demonstrates excellent knowledge, professionalism, personality and a genuine desire to develop into an exceptional coach.

What We’re Looking For

Technical knowledge matters, but people skills matter just as much.

We are looking for someone who can build genuine relationships with clients, communicate effectively,



make people feel comfortable and ultimately give clients a reason to look forward to their sessions.

The right person should be ambitious, coachable, reliable and interested in building a long-term position within DNA rather than simply picking up a few training hours.

Availability

We are looking for a trainer with reliable weekday availability Monday through Friday, with particular demand during morning and evening training hours.

Availability and consistency are extremely important. Once a trainer accepts recurring clients, we expect those agreed-upon training times to remain reliably available.

Why DNA?

DNA has grown significantly over the past three years, and our new facility represents the next stage of that growth. Personal Training is a major part of where we’re headed.

We’re looking for another coach who wants to grow with us, develop a strong client roster and become an important part of the DNA community.
