Fitness Coach

Job Overview
Forge is a structured cohort program that uses shared physical training to help adults build real connections. We place small groups of 6–8 people into 8 or 12-week cohorts built around shared effort, consistency, and trajectory. Thetrainingis the vehicle.

Belongingis the destination.

We are looking for a Cohort Facilitator who understands that what happens between people in the room matters as much as what happens to their bodies. This isnota standard group fitness role. You are not just programming workouts — you are holding a container where real human bonds form. If that distinction excites you, we want to talk.

Responsibilities

Lead twice-weekly group training sessions with the same cohort of 6–8 adults over 8 or 12 weeks

Design and program sessions appropriate to the group’s fitness level and cohort goals

Create and maintain a consistent, safe, high-energy environment that fosters trust and continuity

Show up with full presence and energy every session — consistency is the product

Communicate with the Forge team on group dynamics, participant progress, and any concerns

Contribute to the kind of atmosphere where people feel seen, challenged, and held accountable

Compensation
Guaranteed flat rate per session (roughly $75-90 per hour) — paid regardless of attendance. No cancellations eating into your income. No chasing clients. 2 sessions per week for 8-12 weeks and you know exactly what you’re making before the cohort even starts. Forge handles all client acquisition, matching, onboarding and administration

What We’re Looking For

Background in strength training, power lifting, Cross Fit, functional fitness or hybrid training

Minimum 5 years coaching or personal training experience

Experience leading small groups — not just one‑on‑one clients

Personal training certification an asset but not required if experience is strong

** Access to a training space in Toronto, Mississauga or Burlington is a significant advantage

The Right Person
Beyond credentials, we are looking for someone who has been genuinely changed by being part of a group experience — a team, a training partnership, a program — and who wants to give that to others. Someone who lights up when a group clicks. Who leads from the front. Who understands that showing up consistently for people is itself a form of leadership.

If you have coached groups and walked away thinking about the people more than the programming — this role is for you.
