ABOUT ARMORFIT
ArmorFit is a fitness studio dedicated to helping people become stronger for everyday life through thoughtful coaching, individualized support, and genuine community.
Our Christian faith influences ArmorFit’s values and culture, including our commitment to serving others with integrity, compassion, encouragement, and respect. ArmorFit welcomes clients and team members of all backgrounds. Employees are not required to hold or participate in any particular religious belief or practice.
THE ROLE
ArmorFit Personal Trainers provide customized one-on-one and partner training to clients booked through ArmorFit.
ArmorFit establishes client rates, processes payments, provides access to its booking and workout-tracking systems, and pays trainers directly through payroll. Trainers are responsible for assessing their assigned clients, creating individualized programs, coaching scheduled sessions, documenting progress, and providing a consistently professional client experience.
This is a part-time W-2 employee position. Client volume may vary and is not guaranteed.
COMPENSATION
The per-session rate includes coaching the scheduled session as well as the reasonable programming, preparation, and documentation associated with that client. Client programming is completed independently outside of the scheduled appointment and does not receive a separate hourly or per-program payment.
ArmorFit establishes all client rates and processes client payments. Employee trainers may not independently change ArmorFit’s pricing, collect payment directly from ArmorFit clients, or establish separate training arrangements with clients assigned through ArmorFit.
