Founding Coach

Founding Coach — Independent Personal Trainer

Elite Home Fitness powered by MONTRA · Boston, MA · Flexible / Mobile · Contract

Start your training career — on your terms

You're studying exercise science, kinesiology, or health sciences because you want to help people move better and live better. But most new trainers graduate and end up giving 40–60% of their earnings to a gym, working someone else's schedule, with someone else's clients.

MONTRA is built to change that. We're launching in Boston and bringing on a small group of Founding Coaches — certified trainers who want to build a real coaching business from day one, backed by a platform that handles everything except the actual training.

What you'll do

• Deliver premium in-home personal training sessions across Greater Boston
• Design and deliver customized programs through the MONTRA platform
• Manage your own schedule, pricing, and client relationships
• Build your client base using leads provided through our residential property partnerships
• Represent the Elite Home Fitness brand with professionalism and care
