About D8 Training

D8 Training is a coaching-first strength & conditioning facility in Clarence Gardens.

We work with:

- Juniors (10–14) building confidence, coordination and strength

- Teen athletes (15+) chasing performance and robustness for their sport

- Adults 30–60 who want real strength, structure and accountability

- Over 60s who want balance, strength and independence (ForeverStrength)

We're not a bootcamp or "6‑week shred" studio. We run small-group strength, proper coaching, and long‑term progress.

We're now looking for a Strength & Performance Coach who wants to build a real coaching career, not just pick up a few random sessions.

About the Role

As a Strength & Performance Coach at D8 Training, you will:

- Lead small-group strength and mobility‑focused classes for adults, juniors and/or over‑60s

- Deliver 1‑on‑1 coaching tailored to individual goals (as your hours grow)

- Apply and learn ATG‑influenced strength principles in a structured, progressive system

- Help foster a safe, supportive and engaging training environment for our members

- Contribute to member retention and referrals by running great sessions and building real relationships

You'll start with roughly 15–20 hours per week (depending on experience), with a explicit pathway to 20–30+ hours over time for the right coach.

Core availability required:

- 2–3 weekday mornings between approx. 8:00am–12:00pm (Adults / ForeverStrength)

- 3–4 weekday afternoons/evenings between approx. 4pm–8pm (JuniorGym / Athletes / Adults)

- Some Saturday mornings (rostered)

This role is ideal for someone who wants to be primarily based at D8, grow with the business, and take on more responsibility over the next 1–3 years.

- Certificate IV in Fitness (Personal Trainer)

- Working with Children Check (or ability to obtain)

- You're reliable, organised and communicate like a professional

- You train yourself and "walk the talk" on strength, movement and lifestyle

- Experience coaching in a gym or S&C; / sports performance setting

- Free gym access

- Supportive, no‑BS culture

- Small, tight‑knit team

- Coaching‑first environment – we care more about how well you coach than how many followers you have
