About the business

Industry trends clearly show there's going to be greater numbers of older exercisers in the coming years.  We need your help to make our facilities the most welcoming place for this market.



Goodlife Health Clubs is far and away the largest health club chain in Australia, servicing over 200,000 members with 82 clubs nationwide and 14 clubs in Perth alone.



During the typical working hours of 8am to 5pm, our clubs are relatively quiet.  We believe this presents great opportunities for a mature fitness professional to capture an audience that might find peak-times initially intimidating.





About the role

The role will be slightly different to that of our other Personal Trainers.  You'll provide a specialised service to cater to the needs of the 40+ market and build a client base using our system to develop networks with allied health professionals.



You'll not only have the flexibility to create your own niche, we will encourage and support you to this goal!



You'll have access to WA's widest range of equipment, largest member database and super knowledgeable support team.



We're looking for passionate health and fitness enthusiasts to join any of our 14 clubs and we offer a variety of different employment options.  Part-time, full-time and mentorship options all exist (discussion required to tailor to you specifically).



Those with current fitness and/or nutrition qualifications are obviously ideal.  However, we have an easy pathway to obtain the certification, skills and confidence if you're currently unqualified or lack experience.





Benefits and perks

Work when you want to work, and, don't when you don't!
Learn all the tips, tricks & techniques to get yourself in amazing shape
A risk-free pathway to see if a fitness career is right for you
Connecting with like-minded, healthy people
You get to potentially be your own boss and enjoy the freedom & flexibility that comes with it
The joy that comes with waking up every day truly excited about your day ahead




Skills and experience

The steps to become a 40+ Goodlife Personal Trainer / Active Lifestyle Coach:-

1.  Apply with a cover letter describing yourself and your interest in a paragraph or two

2.  Hopefully get invited to interview

3.  Hopefully get invited to our 'taster' day on Sunday September 16

4.  If selected and you're already qualified, we will prepare you to begin your new career with us as early as October 1

5.  If selected and you're unqualified, follow our development plan we design personally for you.  This will begin in September and run until you begin (January 2019 start date most likely)

6.  Select your club(s) you wish to work at





Are you in good enough shape yourself to become a successful trainer/coach?

Do you fear you'll be judged on your current physical shape?  And these judgements will prevent you from becoming a great coach and trainer?



Let me tell you how it works in an average, real world, Goodlife club.  Those fitness bunnies with great rigs you picture in your head, don't tend to make up much of a PT's revenue.  In fact, they make up less than 2% of the overall spending on PT.



Our target market is actually the complete opposite of those fitness bunnies.



98% of our revenue comes from the average person who just wants to feel comfortable in the gym.  They're not happy with how they look and feel. And they know they need to do it!



These guys just want someone who relates to them and is empathetic of their situation.  You turn up on time, you provide effective and encouraging coaching and you show you care… the world literally is your oyster with our model!



Time and time again we see coaches who aren't blessed with good physical genetics, earn several fold over those that compete on bodybuilding stages.
