We are looking for a PT with sales experience and sport or exercise science knowledge who can bring stories to life when guiding people on their mind-body journey.

Communication is the key skill when delivering effective personal training to our current clients in person and online from our studio. We are looking for a PT who also loves talking to potential new people over the phone, at events and networking meet ups.
