“If You Have Enthusiasm, A Positive Attitude And A Few Basic Fitness Skills, I Have A $22/hr, Fun And Fulfilling Personal Training Position Just For You!"
Dear Prospective Fitness Trainer,
First of all, thanks for taking the time to visit this site.
It’s my hope that you have precisely what I need in a fitness trainer so I can take this page down immediately and put you to work in the fun and rewarding coaching position I have available.
You should have arrived here because you saw my employment ad in the local paper or online that reads like this:
"WANTED: Personal Trainer With Passion For Making A Difference In The Lives Of Others"
Personal Trainer/Fitness Coach Part Time, Pay $15-19 DOE, 15 -20 hours per week, flexible.
So let me tell you about me, my company and the coaching position.
My name is Lisa Shanahan and I run a fitness and nutrition coaching company called Fitness Together in Barrington, IL.
My business is dedicated to helping men and women achieve their health and fitness goals through customized nutrition and fitness programs.
And business is booming!
I'm looking for an enthusiastic, motivated, and energetic person to start training some of our current clients.
My studio is located on 168 S. NW Hwy. in Barrington, IL.
I currently offer one-on-one customized fitness and nutrition programs, group coaching classes, nutrition counseling, and Yoga. These programs educate, motivate, and support men, women, and teens to improve their health and fitness. All clients begin with an initial Fitness Evaluation which leads to: nutrition counseling, exercise program design, nutritional supplements, monthly fitness assessments and possible weekly training sessions here at the studio.
If you are hired for this coaching position, you'll begin coaching clients in the studio 3 - 4 days a week for 4 - 5 hours per day (a.m. hours or pm hours are available).
Bottom line: you’ll get at least 15 hours of training clients per week. You will be paid as a Fitness Nomad Employee and have the opportunity to move up to full time after a 90 -day trial period.
My studio offers a casual, fun environment, top of the line training equipment and the opportunity to learn the inner-workings of a successful personal training studio.
Oh yeah, I’m also very fair, respectful and appreciative. I like having fun and making money providing highly valuable fitness services and products. You will be compensated fairly, treated fairly and I will
certainly look for ways to pay you more for your efforts if they warrant it. I want someone who enjoys working with people and making a difference in the lives of others...because that’s what we do in my studio.

P.S. This is not the type of job where you just showing up is enough. Performance is everything to me. If you perform, you will be rewarded.
