Location: Llanishen, North Cardiff
Job type: Employed, permanent, [part-time / full-time]

About Cohesion Fitness

Cohesion Fitness is a small-group personal training gym in Llanishen. We help adults aged 40–70 get stronger, move better and stay consistent through scaled, structured programmes.

We're growing. A second site is opening soon, and we're adding a third coach to our Llanishen team.

A hybrid role

This is a hybrid role. Your hours are split roughly evenly between two parts:

• Coaching hours: delivering our small-group sessions. You'll coach every member in the room to the right level, safely and with care.
• Roadmap check-ins: looking after your own assigned clients. You'll run regular check-ins, review their progress against their personal roadmap, keep them accountable and act quickly when someone starts to drift.

Your clients are yours. You'll know their goals, their progress and what keeps them coming back, and you'll be a big part of why they're still training with us a year from now.

What you'll do

• Coach small-group sessions to our programme and standards
• Run roadmap check-ins and progress reviews with your assigned clients
• Follow up with clients who miss sessions or lose momentum
• Help new members settle in during their first 30 days
• Keep clear, accurate notes in our member system
• Take part in weekly team meetings and ongoing training

What we're looking for

• Level 3 Personal Training qualification
• Experience coaching adults, ideally including people new to exercise, older adults or those managing aches, injuries or health conditions
• Strong communication skills. You enjoy the conversations as much as the coaching.
• Excellent timekeeping and a strong work ethic
• A current first aid certificate (or willing to get one)

What you'll get

• A self employed role, with flexible hours to fit around current commitments
• A pay rise to £14.00 per hour after your 6-month probation
• A supportive, structured team with a clear programme to coach from
• Development opportunities as we expand to a second site
• Our recruitment process: the 3-week Member Experience

We hire people who fit how we work. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a free 3-week Member Experience before any job offer.

During the 3 weeks you'll train with us as a member, not as a member of staff. You'll attend our small-group sessions and experience our coaching, check-ins and community first-hand. It gives you a real feel for Cohesion Fitness, and it gives us a chance to see your timekeeping, attitude and work ethic within our sessions.

The Member Experience is not paid work and is free of charge. You won't be asked to coach, run sessions or do any staff duties during it.
