Before You Start

Have these ready.

Step 01

Role type

Decide your role type: self-employed rent, employed PT, S&C, classes.

Step 02

Pay structure

Know your split structure or hourly rate before posting — trainers expect transparency.

Step 03

Gym culture

Prepare 2–3 sentences on your gym culture, member demographic and what makes your floor different.

Step 04

Internal sign-off

Confirm internal sign-off on hire so you can move within 5 days of a trainer accepting.

The Six Steps

From vacancy to hire.

01

Create your gym account

Register your facility for free. Add your gym name, location, type (commercial, boutique, PT studio, S&C facility), footfall and culture notes so trainers see who they'd be working with.

Takes ~3 minutes. No card required.

02

Post your vacancy

Tell us exactly what you need: role type (self-employed rent, employed PT, S&C coach, class instructor), split structure or hourly rate, hours available, specialisms required, and the kind of trainer who'd thrive on your floor.

The more specific the vacancy, the sharper the match.

03

Review your shortlist

Our system filters the network down to verified trainers that match your vacancy — credentials checked, specialisms aligned, availability confirmed. No CV slush pile to wade through.

Typically 8–15 qualified matches per vacancy.

04

Pitch the trainers you want

Reach out directly to shortlisted trainers in-app. Send a tailored pitch with role, split, footfall and why your gym is the right move. No agency middleman, no recruiter markup.

92% of pitched trainers respond within 48 hours.

05

Accept, decline or negotiate

Trainers respond with one tap — accept, decline, or counter-offer. Declined? You move on instantly. Accepted? They drop straight into your interview pipeline.

Zero ghosted inboxes. Zero wasted hours.

06

Interview & recruit

Use in-app messaging to align on start date, trial session, contract terms and onboarding. Sign the trainer and have them on the floor — typically within 5 days of posting the vacancy.
