Chicago, Illinois, United States REAL pt Physical Therapy Full time

Personal Trainer Post Rehab and Performance

A Coaching Role Built On Quality, Not Volume

You did not enter this field to run generic workouts or count mindless reps.You became a Personal Trainer to coach deeply, solve real movement problems, and help people build durable strength and confidence.

At The Movement Guild in Chicago, you will train in a rehab-informed environment where every session is individualized, every program is built with clinical reasoning, and progress actually means something.

This is where you coach like an educator, think like a movement specialist, and guide clients through the meaningful transition from rehab to performance.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a gym-floor trainer role. It is refined, intentional programming for clients who want to move better for life.

  • One on one coaching sessions
  • Individualized program design
  • Collaboration with Physical Therapists and movement clinicians
  • No volume training or factory style sessions
  • Autonomy to coach with skill and purpose

You will work with clients moving beyond PT care, restoring strength, mobility, and resilience through thoughtful progression. Not workouts. Progress.

What Makes This Clinic Special

The Movement Guild was built by Adam Wolf, a nationally respected clinician in applied functional science, rehabilitation, movement therapy, and performance.

This is a place where trainers learn, collaborate, and grow as specialists, not just instructors.

Here, you are valued for your brain, your craft, and your ability to produce lasting outcomes.You are surrounded by Physical Therapists, movement educators, and clinicians who treat training like a science, not a template.

If you want to work in a place where programming is individualized, learning is continual, and outcomes matter, this is where your work becomes more meaningful.
