Design safe, effective, and individualized workout programs
Provide one-on-one coaching and motivation
Monitor progress and adjust programming as needed
Build strong, professional relationships with members

Hold a nationally recognized Personal Training certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, ISSA, etc.)
Are CPR/AED certified
Have strong communication and interpersonal skills
Can build rapport with clients of diverse ages and abilities
Are self-motivated and professional
