STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Who We Are

I’ve owned GHP for nine years, and I’m looking for a strength coach who loves running and wants to be great at coaching runners and athletes. Our goal is to help people hit 1 million+ personal bests over the coming decades.

GHP is a performance gym built around strong, fast, injury-resilient people, and running is the center of it. We offer 1:1 sessions and small groups capped at six, and we’re the closest thing to collegiate-level T&F coaching in one house. Our members come to us to run faster and stay healthy, and our coaches live that world with them.

We coach:

• Competitive and recreational adult runners, cyclists, and triathletes
• Youth sprinters and distance runners for T&F/XC
• Field sport athletes (soccer, field hockey, etc.)
• Adults building fitness for life

About the Role

This is a coaching role first. You will program daily and be responsible for member retention. You’ll learn directly from me, and you’ll also help the business grow by supporting admin, showing up at events, and contributing to marketing. The more of that you can do, the more hours and pay are available.

What You’ll Do

Coaching and programming

• Coach 1:1 and small group sessions (up to 6 people) across adults & youth athletes
• Design and periodize programs that blend running mechanics, plyometrics, and strength
• Coach on the track if you have the experience to do so

Member relationships

• Own retention for your coaching group: attendance check-ins, goal reviews, and spotting problems early
• Show up for members at races, youth competitions, and community events

Business support

• Run consultations with prospective members and help onboard them
• Create content and support marketing
• Keep schedules, notes, and member records accurate in our systems:
  • Notion (our operating system and SOPs)
  • Slack (daily team communication)
  • fitDEGREE (member and gym management software and CRM)

You don’t need to know these already, but you do need to learn them quickly and use them consistently.

This Is For You If

• You’re a runner, or live in running culture. You enjoy being around running, talking about it, and spending your days in a running-based facility. Most of our members are runners, and the right coach is one of them.
• You want to get better at coaching every month and will take direct feedback well
• You want a mentor, not just a job
• You want to work a lot and will take on more (events, content, admin) to grow your hours and income
• You’re comfortable talking with athletes, parents, and prospects of every age
• You’re organized without needing to be managed

This Is Not For You If

• You aren’t interested in running and would see this as a stepping stone to a different kind of gym
• You want to write programs and avoid sales conversations
• You coach on the side or run your own client business
• You can’t work split days (early morning and evening) or occasional weekend events
• You want a corporate gym environment

We’ll make an exception to the running requirement only for an exceptional coach with a strong competitive-sport track record.

Requirements

• CSCS (or actively pursuing it); NASM or equivalent accepted to start
• 2+ years of coaching experience
• Able to coach up to 6 athletes at once without losing individual attention
• Comfortable learning and consistently using software

Plus: USATF, RRCA, or similar certification; running coaching at the club, high school, or college level; college track, cross country, or soccer background; experience programming sprint, distance, or endurance training.

Schedule

Scheduled across Mon-Sat. Hours are generally 6am-12pm and/or 3-8pm, with variability day to day. Morning and evening coaching on the same day is expected, plus occasional weekend events. Hours grow with your skills and availability.

Compensation and Growth

• $32/hour. $50,000+ annualized with 30-35 hours/week.
• More hours open up as you take on additional coaching, admin support, events, and marketing.
• Health insurance and a continuing education stipend are included.
• Pay increases as your responsibility and the gym grow. Being skilled at more than coaching a squat will matter a lot.
