Nood is seeking a Private Performance Coach & Personal Trainer to the Founder/CEO to manage and support his fitness, training, nutrition, recovery, and overall physical performance. This is not a traditional personal training role. The position is designed for someone who can act as a highly engaged performance coach and accountability partner—someone who will run alongside the CEO during workouts, coach strength training, manage an integrated training plan, support nutrition and meal preparation, track progress, and help drive consistent execution against ambitious fitness goals. The ideal candidate is likely already a serious athlete themselves and combines strong coaching ability with high energy, organization, reliability, and sound judgment. Running & Conditioning • Run alongside the CEO during scheduled training sessions • Build and manage a progressive running and conditioning program • Coach pacing, intervals, endurance development, and race preparation • Track progress and continuously adjust training based on performance Strength & Performance • Program and coach strength training • Coach technique, progression, intensity, and recovery • Track key lifts and performance metrics • Integrate strength and endurance programming into one cohesive plan Nutrition & Meal Prep • Develop practical nutrition plans aligned with performance and body-composition goals • Plan meals and groceries • Handle or coordinate grocery shopping • Prepare meals or oversee meal preparation • Help maintain consistency around nutrition and recovery Accountability & Performance Management • Track training, nutrition, recovery, and key performance metrics • Establish weekly and monthly goals • Hold the CEO accountable to the program • Adapt plans around travel, work demands, recovery, and schedule changes • Bring energy, structure, and motivation to the training process Requirements Critical Requirement This person must be an active runner and be willing and able to run alongside the CEO during training. This is a core responsibility of the role. The expectation is not simply to prescribe running workouts or coach from the sidelines. Candidates should currently train consistently and be fit enough to comfortably participate in running workouts while coaching. Candidates are not expected to perform strength workouts alongside the CEO; during lifting sessions, the role is primarily coaching. Ideal Background Strong candidates may come from backgrounds such as: • Personal training with a serious running background • HYROX or hybrid training • Collegiate athletics • Strength & conditioning • CrossFit coaching with meaningful endurance experience • Competitive running with strength-training expertise • Military or tactical fitness • Performance coaching Certifications are valued, but athletic ability, coaching skill, judgment, reliability, and fit are more important than credentials alone. What Success Looks Like This person will effectively operate as a personal performance department of one for the CEO. There should always be a clear understanding of the current training plan, performance goals, progress against those goals, recovery needs, nutrition priorities, and what needs to happen next. The role requires someone who takes ownership rather than simply completing scheduled training sessions.
