LIFT Performance is a small business in Plantsville, CT. Our mission is to empower our clients, not only through their performance and progress inside the gym but also through the development of their character and confidence.

Our work environment includes:

• Casual work attire
• On-the-job training
• Growth opportunities
• Lively atmosphere

As a Fitness & Lifestyle Coach at LIFT Performance, you have the opportunity to deliver hands-on, individualized coaching to a diverse group of adult clientele.

Coaches lead a variety of small group class types, learn about and contribute to individual and group program design, complete movement and postural assessments, and more.

Your hands-on coaching experience will be complemented with opportunities and resources to expand your knowledge outside the confines of the gym. We work closely as a team to develop coaching, assessment, and program-design skill sets to fuel our career aspirations within the industry.

Expectations of Fitness & Lifestyle Coaches

• Be competent in teaching dynamic warm-ups & mobility drills
• Demonstrate knowledge of training techniques
• Be eager to learn and accepting of constructive criticism
• Must be comfortable interacting with clients of various backgrounds
• Present yourself in a manner that will reinforce your status as a healthy role model for our clients

Coaching Schedule

The schedule at LIFT Performance changes according to the season, traditional academic semesters, and summer vacations. A successful applicant for the Coaching role will be asked to work a minimum of three shifts per week (roughly 6-10 hours). Although, the final schedule will be determined based on individual needs and the needs of the business.

Job Responsibilities

The main responsibility of a Fitness & Lifestyle Coach is to lead and support our clients by delivering a coaching experience that impacts, inspires, and energizes them.

Other tasks include:

• Meeting all clients with a smile as they enter the gym
• Checking clients in, attendance tracking
• Communicating with the team in a timely manner
• Understanding memberships and pricing options
• Reviewing and demonstrating the current phase of our program
• Being able to sell products and services with conviction
• Cleaning and setting up before and after classes
• Communicating with clients and athletes/parents outside of the gym when necessary

These responsibilities will be covered in great detail, so you are not only confident in your abilities on the training floor, but in handling the day-to-day “behind the scenes” work required of a LIFT Coach.

Opportunities To Learn and Grow With Top Tier Coaches

We invest in our team. Coaches will have opportunities to complete a number of projects and tasks outside of their main duties. These opportunities are focused on helping you grow as an individual and as a professional.

Onboarding

At LIFT, we have high standards. We do not take on team members that do not have the potential to rise to the occasion and draw out the best in themselves. To this end, the onboarding process includes shadowing other coaches and being shadowed yourself. It also requires you to learn and study our programming style and our art of coaching. If this seems daunting to you, please do not apply.

• All applicants are required to be Personal Trainer Certified.
