Join to apply for the Coach role at STRIDE Fitness

STRIDE Fitness delivers a full‑body cardio and strength experience built to move fast and hit hard. Our 55‑minute high‑intensity classes combine treadmill intervals with floor‑based strength training to create an efficient, results‑driven workout for every fitness level. Coaches guide, motivate, and adjust for individual needs while keeping the energy high. Community and connection matter just as much as the workout – our coaches are motivators, educators, and the heartbeat of the studio.

We are seeking an experienced, high‑energy Certified Personal Trainer with strong group fitness coaching experience to lead our signature split‑room classes. Each class includes half the members on treadmills and half on the strength floor, with the coach managing both sides simultaneously. The ideal coach thrives in a high‑energy, music‑driven environment, connects easily with people, and motivates both new and experienced members.

You’ll inspire members to push past limits, convert first‑timers into loyal members, and represent the STRIDE Fitness brand both inside and outside the studio.
