OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

Performance Coach (Personal Trainer)

ABOUT US
At Optimal Performance, we help high-achieving individuals look better, feel better, and perform at a higher level — without sacrificing their lifestyle.

Our coaching system integrates:
  • Strength training.
  • Nutrition guidance.
  • Lifestyle coaching.
  • Optimal Recovery.
We work with athletes and busy professionals who want sustainable results — not quick fixes.

THE ROLE:
As a Performance Coach, you’ll guide clients through a holistic coaching experience that improves:
  • Strength and body composition.
  • Energy and consistency.
  • Confidence and lifestyle habits.
You’ll be responsible for delivering high-level coaching, accountability, and support — both on and off the floor.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Coach Results-Driven Training Sessions:
  • Lead 1:1 and small group training sessions.
  • Teach proper form, movement quality, and progression.
  • Adjust workouts based on client ability, injuries, and goals.
  • Create an environment that is challenging, supportive, and engaging.
  • Bring great energy to every session — clients should feel motivated, encouraged, and better when they leave than when they walked in.
Build Personalized Plans:
  • Assess client goals, lifestyle, and starting point.
  • Create structured training programs.
  • Provide basic nutrition and habit guidance aligned with our system.
  • Adjust plans based on progress and feedback.
Drive Client Experience & Accountability:
  • Build strong relationships with clients.
  • Provide consistent feedback, encouragement, and direction.
  • Hold clients accountable while maintaining a positive, empowering environment.
  • Track progress and celebrate wins.
  • Help clients stay consistent — even outside the gym.
Integrate Recovery & Lifestyle Coaching:
  • Educate clients on the importance of recovery.
  • Recommend use of Optimal Recovery based on goals.
  • Support habits around sleep, stress, hydration, and consistency.
Contribute to a High-Performance Team:
  • Collaborate with coaches and leadership.
  • Maintain a clean, organized training environment.
  • Support gym operations and client experience.

BONUS (NOT REQUIRED, BUT A PLUS):

COMPENSATION:
  • Starting: $15–$20/hour, based on experience.

  • Work with clients who are committed and invested.
  • Opportunity to grow into leadership, specialty coaching, or programming roles.
