This is not a position we take lightly. Coaching is the LIFEBLOOD of what we do at CFP. We give our coaches the tools and environment they need to be successful and thrive.
We’re highly selective with who we bring onto the team—this role isn’t for everyone. But if you’re qualified, passionate, coachable, and ready to bring the best out of people, we’d love to hear from you. If hired, you’ll undergo a 2-week paid training to learn our proven systems and philosophies that have made CFP one of the top training gyms in Chicago.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
- People-first attitude. While we’re well known for our technical and coaching abilities here at CFP, coaching starts with connection. We train humans, not just bodies. We go to great lengths to get to know clients, what motivates them, and to understand the deeper reasons behind why they train. If you’re someone who genuinely cares, builds relationships, and brings great energy, you'd be a great candidate for the position.
- Lifelong learner. We don’t do “just enough” at CFP. We invest in education, growth, and staying at the cutting edge. This keeps us at the forefront of our industry and allows us to stay ahead, and that's why continuing education for us is non-negotiable. If you’re curious and always trying to improve, this is your place.
- Team player. We’re tight-knit, supportive, and play the long game. No egos, no flakes. We want someone who shows up, supports others, and helps build something bigger than themselves.
This is the most important job in the world. We change lives!!!
If you're looking to be dedicated to your career, take accountability, and you walk the walk, this is for you.
We are currently seeking a Certified Personal Trainer to join our team to work with a variety of clients. The general population makes up the majority of clients – those people looking to take charge of their fitness and health with the help of our expertise. However, we also help young athletes amp up their strength and conditioning for their sport.
WHAT WE OFFER:
- Competitive base hourly pay
- Tiered bumps in pay based on how many clients you train

We will review your application, and if we think you're a match, we’ll reach out to schedule an interview. The sooner you apply, the better.
P.S. Enthusiasm and a positive attitude go a long way in our book. We can teach you the skills, but we can’t change your character. We are a positive team and choose to surround ourselves with like-minded individuals to create an amazing work atmosphere. As long as you have the skills and characteristics mentioned above, you’re definitely a candidate, and we can’t wait to meet you.
