Do you love coaching but don't love the sales side of the fitness industry?

At Ascend Fitness + Lifestyle, our coaches coach.

You won't be responsible for finding your own clients, selling personal training packages, or building a business from scratch. We provide the clients, systems, training and ongoing mentorship so you can focus on becoming an exceptional coach and helping people get results.

We're currently looking for a part-time Personal Trainer/Kinesiologist to join our team.

This could be a great fit if you're already working in kinesiology, physiotherapy, rehabilitation or fitness and are looking to add some coaching hours — or if you're earlier in your career and looking for a place where you can learn, grow and gain experience.

What You'll Do

You'll work directly with Ascend members, primarily adults 40+, helping them become stronger, move better and stay active for life.

You'll

- Coach personal and semi-private training sessions
- Help clients exercise safely and effectively, including those with injuries or limitations
- Provide exercise modifications and technique feedback
- Complete fitness assessments and track client progress
- Build relationships with clients and help keep them motivated and accountable
- Prepare for sessions and provide an exceptional client experience
- Participate in ongoing staff training and professional development
- Occasionally participate in community activities, workshops, hikes and other Ascend events

What Makes Working at Ascend Different? You don't have to sell.

We provide the clients. Your focus is taking exceptional care of them.





We'll help you become a better coach.

You won't be handed a schedule and left on your own. We provide onboarding, mentorship, feedback and ongoing coaching.

You'll be part of a team.

You'll work alongside other coaches who share ideas, support one another and care about doing excellent work.

There's room to grow.

This position will begin part-time, with the potential for additional hours and responsibilities as you grow within Ascend and opportunities become available.

You'll do meaningful work.

Our clients are real people training for real life — staying independent, hiking, travelling, keeping up with their families and continuing to do the things they love.

- Genuinely enjoys working with people

- Works well as part of a team




- Cares about providing an exceptional experience for clients
- Is comfortable with the physical demands of coaching, including demonstrating exercises and regularly setting up, moving and putting away weights and other fitness equipment
