We're a personal training studio in Edinburgh built on exceptional coaching, genuine relationships and a supportive community - every member gets personalised coaching, accountability and encouragement to become stronger, healthier and more confident. We're looking for an experienced coach who shares those values to join our growing team.

This role is about far more than delivering sessions. You'll build meaningful relationships with members, adapt your coaching to suit different individuals, and play an active role in creating an outstanding experience inside and outside of the gym. Above all, we're looking for someone who is kind, professional, coachable and takes pride in delivering an exceptional experience to every member.
As part of the interview process, if you pass the first stage, you'll be asked to deliver a small group coaching session.
How to apply
Send us your CV, along with short answers to these two questions:
- What's one thing about our approach (from what you've seen on our socials/website) that made you want to apply?
- What does "personalised coaching" actually mean to you, in practice?
- Why coaching, specifically? What pulled you toward this over other paths?
Please answer in your own words - we'd rather hear a rough, honest answer than a polished AI-generated one, and it helps us get a genuine sense of who you are.
We'd also love a short video (60 seconds is plenty) introducing yourself - it helps us get a feel for who you are before we meet in person.
