If you're an experienced coach with an obsession for fitness and wellness, and the drive and passion to help others achieve results, then this may be the opportunity for you.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Here's the thing: not all group training studios are the same. And not all coaches are either - you know the ones - the cheerleaders counting down "3-2-1" without understanding how their members should feel. But that's not you. You're Different. Better.

Our coaches are integral to everything we do - they're game-changers - sharing their knowledge, demonstrating their skills, and bringing energy, confidence and a fun attitude to our community. They know that every class is an opportunity to make someone's day.

You'll join a team of elite coaches who share an excitement for progression-based group training, working alongside our senior coaches and owners to ensure the highest training standards are upheld as we continue to grow. Our coaches live and breathe BFT, and we expect nothing less.

Day-to-day you'll be responsible for delivery of BFT programs. You must able to clearly and confidently manage large, dynamic groups, while also providing individual attention to members across each session.

This is a casual opportunity with approximately 10-15 hours per week initially, with room to grow if you're the right person. Early morning availability is a must, including Saturdays. Ideally you will live locally, otherwise access to your own transport is a essential.
