About North Star Fitness

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 isn't simply to put people through workouts. We want our clients to understand the “why” behind what they're 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 offers

- 1-on-1 Personal Training in private, dedicated training spaces
- Semi-Private Personal Training in small groups
- In-house Physiotherapy and Massage Therapy
- A collaborative team of experienced coaches and healthcare professionals

Everything we do comes back to one philosophy:

Coaching First.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an Independent Personal Trainer who wants to build and develop a long-term personal training career within North Star Fitness.

We describe our model as intrapreneurship.

You get the independence to determine your schedule, how many clients you want to coach and how large you want your practice to become, while having access to the facility, systems, mentorship, education and support of North Star Fitness.

There are no minimum working hours or required number of clients.

What we do expect is ownership.

That means taking an active role in developing relationships, creating opportunities, retaining your clients, improving your coaching skills and working toward the career you want to build.

North Star Fitness supports you along the way with mentorship, education, business-development support, systems and potential client opportunities.

You have the freedom to build your career. We'll help give you the tools to do it.

Compensation

Trainers are compensated per eligible training session through North Star Fitness's six-level Trainer system.

Trainer Session Fees start at $26.50 per session and increase up to $61.50 per session as Trainers progress through the level system, plus 10% commission on eligible Personal Training sales.

Starting level is mutually determined based on factors including coaching ability, education, experience and business-development skills.



Trainers can progress through the level system as their skills, education and practice develop.

This independent-contractor opportunity does not guarantee a minimum number of clients, sessions, leads, working hours or income.

There is no fee to join North Star Fitness, no franchise fee and no requirement to purchase optional products or services from North Star Fitness.

What North Star Fitness Provides

Our goal is to give excellent Trainers the environment and support they need to build successful, sustainable careers.

You'll have access to

- A private Personal Training facility and equipment
- Business systems and payment processing
- Ongoing mentorship from coaches with more than 15 years of industry experience
- North Star Fitness's Trainer onboarding and education
- Weekly voluntary business mentorship
- Discounted continuing-education opportunities
- Business-development and client-retention support
- Potential North Star Fitness-generated client opportunities
- The opportunity to learn alongside experienced coaches and healthcare professionals
- A collaborative team where Trainers share knowledge and help each other improve
- The freedom to develop your own coaching style while maintaining North Star Fitness's professional and client-care standards

Who We're Looking For

We hire for character and potential, not simply experience.

Education and experience matter, but we don't believe the person with the longest résumé automatically makes the best coach.

We can teach systems.

We can develop coaching skills.

We can help you learn how to market yourself, communicate your value and build a clientele.

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

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 create opportunities rather than simply waiting for them to appear.

Smart.

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

We're also looking for someone with:

- A genuine passion for helping people
- A desire to continually learn and improve




- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Reliability and professionalism
- An interest in developing and promoting their personal training practice
- A willingness to build relationships and create opportunities
- The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team
- A long-term interest in building a career in Personal Training
- A willingness to take ownership of their professional development and business growth

Certification

Applicants with different levels of experience are welcome to apply.

Trainers are required to obtain and maintain a recognized Personal Training certification approved by North Star Fitness.

Not certified yet? That doesn't necessarily rule you out.

Candidates who are not yet certified may still be considered and, if selected, will have up to 90 days from the beginning of their agreement to provide proof of an approved certification.

Is This the Right Opportunity for You?

This opportunity is designed for someone who wants the independence of building their own personal training practice without having to build an entire gym around it.

North Star Fitness provides the facility, equipment, systems, mentorship and support.

You decide what you want your Personal Training career to become and take an active role in building it.

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

We would rather work with someone who demonstrates the right character, work ethic and potential and help them develop into an exceptional coach than choose someone based solely on years of experience.

If you're humble, hungry and smart, care deeply about helping people and want an environment where you can develop as both a coach and a professional, we'd like to hear from you.
