Personal Trainer/Group Fitness Instructor

F45 Pakenham is looking for a confident, energetic coach to join our team on a casual basis.

We’re after someone who knows how to command a room, coach with purpose and genuinely connect with people, not someone who just stands at the front counting reps.

This is a hands-on coaching role in a busy, community-driven studio where you’ll be expected to bring energy, know your stuff and get involved.

Hours are typically 5–15 hours per week, with the opportunity for more over time.

You must have regular evening and weekend availability to be considered for this role.

Whether you’ve been coaching for years or you’re early in your fitness career and looking for the right environment to sharpen your skills, we’re more interested in your attitude, confidence and willingness to learn than having the longest résumé.

You’ll be a outstanding fit if you:

- Bring genuine energy and presence into a room

- Enjoy talking to people and building strong relationships with members

- Are confident coaching groups and giving clear direction

- Have a strong eye for movement, form and technique

- Aren’t afraid to step in, correct someone and explain why

- Can offer sensible regressions and progressions when needed

- Take pride in delivering a great session rather than simply getting through it

- Are reliable and understand that people are depending on you to show up

- Take initiative instead of waiting to be told what needs doing

- Notice the little things, from a member who needs extra help to equipment that needs fixing up

- Enjoy training yourself and genuinely care about fitness

- Work well as part of a close team

- Can bring the energy when the room needs it, while still knowing when a member needs a more personal approach

What you’ll actually be doing:

- Coaching high-quality F45 group training sessions





- Welcoming members and creating an setting where people feel comfortable from the moment they walk in

- Demonstrating exercises clearly and confidently

- Correcting technique and helping members move safely and effectively

- Providing regressions, progressions and modifications where appropriate

- Bringing energy, encouragement and personality to every session

- Getting to know members, their goals and what they’re working towards

- Helping trial members feel comfortable and included

- Keeping the studio organised, clean and ready to train

- Supporting studio challenges, events and community activities

- Helping capture occasional class content for social media

- Being an active part of the F45 Pakenham team rather than simply coming in, coaching and leaving
