Personal Trainer

Certified Personal Trainer | Fitness Coach

IF YOU HAVE A GREAT ATTITUDE AND PASSION FOR FITNESS WE HAVE AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU

This is a personal training job. This is not a position we take lightly. Coaching is the LIFEBLOOD of what we do at Chicago Fit Performance. We give our coaches everything they need to be successful - and every opportunity to become the best coach they can be.

We are VERY selective with who we bring onto the team. So this position is definitely not for everyone. That said, read the details and if you think you may be a good fit, we’d love to invite you to apply.

If you are hired for this position you will undergo a 2-week paid training to learn the systems we implement specifically at CFP that have put us where we are at nowadays.

What we are looking for:

1) Our next personal trainer will be a people person. While we’re well known for our technical and coaching abilities here at CFP, in reality, we are in the people business. On the contrary, one of the biggest reasons for our success is because we realize that our members truly are everything to our business. We go to great lengths to get to know our clients, what motivates them, and to understand the deeper reasons behind why they train. If you are personable, friendly, and easy-going, you would be a great candidate for the position.

2) Our next coach will be a life-long learner. One of the few things you can bank on here at CFP is that we’re always going to be learning something new. This keeps us at the forefront of our industry and allows us to stay ahead of the pack. We realize our only sustainable competitive advantage is the ability to learn faster than the competition and that's why continuing education for us is non-negotiable. If you are curious, enjoy learning, and want to be the best coach you can possibly be, you would be a great candidate for this position.

3) Our next personal trainer will be a consistent and steady team player. In sports (and life), you quickly realize you’re only as strong as your weakest link. CFP has grown over the past 12 years and was able to survive the pandemic (that came with a 4-month shutdown) because we have a tight-knit team that is serious about the long-term success of both the individuals involved, as well as the business as a whole. If you want to be a part of a great team, then the coaching position at CFP could be ideal for you.

This is the most important job in the world. We change lives

If you are flakey, looking to do the bare minimum, or do not walk the walk DO NOT APPLY. We will put a ton of time and work into you and we expect the same.

Chicago Fit Performance is a world-class private and small-group training facility. 12 years strong in Chicago, CFP has been raising the bar on private personal training and has been continually growing and setting the standards every year.

We provide training, coaching, support, accountability, and most importantly a fun, energetic environment that helps clients reach their fitness goals, so they can write better stories (to their life).

We pride ourselves on the ability to customize workout programs to meet our members where they are at, to fit their bodies, and to allow them to progress at a rate that is safe and sustainable.
