Personal Trainer

About Viva Active

Viva Active is a personal training and group class studio in Burwood . We are currently building our client base and we're looking for a fourth trainer to join us.

We are not a commercial gym. We are a boutique studio with a clear focus: helping adults live longer, move better, and feel stronger. Our programming is built around longevity, strength, and fat loss and every client interaction reflects that.

The role

We provide the clients, your job is to train them well. There is no complicated business model to navigate — you walk in, you coach, you build relationships, and you get paid to do what you love.

We have a structured onboarding plan with hours building to a sustainable full caseload within your first few months. This is a genuine opportunity to build a fulfilling training career without the stress of self-sourcing every client.

Day to day, you'll:

• Deliver high-quality, personalised 1:1 PT sessions with engaged, motivated clients
• Lead group training sessions that build genuine community and camaraderie in the studio
• Conduct Strategy sessions to understand each client's goals and build structured plans around them
• Deliver Nutrition sessions to support clients' specific physique and health outcomes
• Adapt your approach to changing client needs, circumstances, and conditions — no two days look the same
• Build strong, lasting client relationships that keep people coming back and referring others
• Be reachable to clients via our app for guidance, check-ins, and accountability between sessions
• Uphold the premium standards of the studio in everything — presentation, punctuality, and professionalism

Who we're looking for

This role is not for everyone. We want someone who genuinely loves working with people, thrives off clear systems, and takes pride in the details — because our clients notice.

Required:

• Certificate III & IV in Fitness (completed or currently completing — final-year students welcome)
• Current First Aid & CPR (or willingness to obtain before starting)
• Registered or eligible for registration with Fitness Australia or AUSactive
• Full working rights in Australia

You are:

• Genuinely personable — you light up a room and clients feel heard around you
• Obsessed with the details — the right cue, the right check-in, the right follow-up
• Passionate about working with the 30–60 age group and understand what matters to them
• Reliable, professional, and takes ownership of your work
• Excited to be part of something new and hungry to grow

What we offer

• $41/hr — a real rate that reflects what good coaching is worth
• We provide the clients — your focus is entirely on coaching, not business development
• Physio-led mentorship — technical guidance from our head trainer with a background in physiotherapy, so your programming and coaching quality is held to a higher standard
• Sales training — something most studios skip entirely; we invest in it because a great trainer who can't retain clients is a missed opportunity
• Flexible scheduling — build your hours around your life, not the other way around
• Real career pathways — opportunities to grow into senior or specialist roles as the studio expands

Timing

We are recruiting now and expect to bring our fourth trainer on board between November-January as client volume builds. If you're finishing your Cert IV and will be qualified within that window, we want to hear from you.
