Personal Trainers

• National level Personal Training certification such as ACSM, ACE, NSCA, NASM or comparable.
• Degree in Health, Exercise Science, or related field is preferred but not mandatory.
• Personality skills are extremely important. Friendly, positive, upbeat, energetic and great communication skills are a few of the things that should describe your personality.
• We seek to create a team atmosphere. If you are willing to have other trainers work with your clients, are willing to work with other trainer's clients and want to interact and socialize with your co-workers you are looking at the right facility.
  Trainers work very independently, have excellent follow through, and look for ways to improve their own and the efficiency of the program.
• Experience is an asset, however willingness to continue learning and share your own knowledge wherever you are in your career, is a bigger asset.
• You must have a passion for learning and be committed to attending educational conferences, enhancing your credibility through advanced certifications, reading trade journals, and staying on the cutting edge. If you are reading the same consumer oriented material alone, this isn't the right fit for you.
• We have a high standard at Fitness World 24. We aim to be not just another option for personal training but to be the best option by having the best and most complete facilities, programming and staff available to help our members and clients.

Hours vary in the fitness industry but often include evenings and weekends to accommodate exercisers. Keep this in mind when applying for a position. We need you to both be available when we are busiest as well as be available and flexible to meet with other members on our staff who will be supervising and assisting you in your learning process.
