• Coached small-group strength training sessions of up to 10 clients
• Provide individual coaching within the group environment

• Follow established programming and coaching methodology
• Arrive 15 minute prior to the session to set up
• Assist with equipment setup and reset
• Maintain a clean and professional training floor

• Strong understanding of strength training fundamentals

• Ability to identify and correct technique while clients are actively training
• Understanding of exercise regressions and progressions
• Ability to coach different fitness levels simultaneously
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Confident, positive presence on the training floor
• Genuine interest in learning about clients and their goals
• Reliable, punctual and prepared
• Highly receptive to feedback
• Willingness to learn coaching system and develop coaching systems

Preferred Qualifications

• Personal Training, Strength & Conditioning, Kinesiology or equivalent education/certification
• Minimum 2 years of Personal training or small group training experience
• CPR/AED certification
• Experience coaching compound strength movements

Experience is valuable, but attitude, coachability and attention to detail matter heavily to us.

Coaching Standard

Standing at the front of the room and calling out exercises and counting reps is not coaching.

Our coaches move throughout the room, observe clients from different angles, correct movement, help with equipment when needed, encourage appropriate loading, celebrate progress and actively engage every person.

Whether there are 3 clients or 10 clients, the coaching standard stays the same

Hiring Process

CORESA has a thorough hiring and onboarding process to ensure every coach meets our coaching and member-experience standards.

Selected candidates will progress through:

• Main Interview Rounds — To assess coaching philosophy, technical knowledge, communication style, personality and alignment.
• Session Observation — Candidates will observe live Small Group sessions to understand our programming, coaching expectations and member experience.
• Coach Shadowing — Candidates will shadow sessions and learn how we coach, communicate, manage the room and work with individual clients within the group.
• Practical Test Sessions — Before being assigned regular sessions, candidates will have opportunities to demonstrate their coaching.

If you love strength training, care about the details, enjoy working closely with people and want to develop within a high-standard coaching environment, we'd love to hear from you.
