Personal Trainer / Senior Fitness Coach

Forged Home Fitness, LLC
Email

Forged Home Fitness is a growing in-home and senior-living personal training company based west of Boston. We run daily strength, balance and mobility programs inside senior living communities, and we train clients one-on-one in their homes across Wellesley, Weston, Newton, Needham, Natick, Concord and Lexington. Our clients are active older adults and busy professionals who want expert, safe coaching.

 

We're hiring our first coach. You'll shadow the founder for two fully paid weeks inside a senior living community in Needham, then take the lead on a new community program in Brighton: daily group classes (chair-based, strength, fall prevention) plus one-on-one sessions with residents in their fitness center. As the book grows, you'll add in-home clients and Saturday sessions.

 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

 

  • Lead 30-60 minute group classes for older adults: Sit & Stand (chair-based), Strength, and Fall Prevention & Balance
  • Coach one-on-one sessions for residents, including people returning from a fall, surgery, hospital stay or physical therapy
  • Run programs written with the founder, keep clear session notes, and communicate warmly and professionally with residents, families and community staff
  • Later: in-home one-on-one and small-group sessions in clients' homes

PAY AND BENEFITS

 

  • $32.50 per hour to start, with written raises to $35 at 90 days and $37.50 at 12 months
  • Paid drive time between clients ($18/hr) and mileage reimbursement at the IRS rate
  • Two weeks of fully paid shadowing with the founder before you lead anything
  • Retention bonuses at 6, 12 and 24 months, plus a quarterly client-retention bonus
  • One paid certification per year and paid continuing education
  • W-2 employee: workers' comp and liability coverage provided. No sales quotas. We bring the clients.

SCHEDULE

 

  • Weekday mornings, roughly 9:30am-1:30pm, Monday-Friday in Brighton (start date January 2027)
  • Saturday mornings a strong plus
  • About 15-20 hours per week to start, growing to 25-30

REQUIREMENTS

 

  • NCCA-accredited personal training certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, NSCA, NCSF, NETA, NFPT or ISSA-NCCA) and current CPR/AED
  • Experience coaching older adults, or a strong desire to specialize in it (senior-fitness certification a plus)
  • Degree in exercise science, kinesiology or a related field a plus; PT/PTA students and recent grads welcome
  • Reliable car, valid license and personal auto insurance; comfortable driving the MetroWest/Boston corridor
  • Background check (CORI) and driving record check after a conditional offer
  • Patient, warm, reliable, and comfortable talking with families and care staff

TO APPLY: submit a resume and two or three sentences on why you coach, and any experience with older adults.
