PERSONAL TRAINER + MAT PILATES INSTRUCTOR

Sydney Inner West | Regular casual shifts + in dependent opportunity to grow your own PT business

Love Personal Training, enjoy teaching Pilates, and looking for a role with a little more freedom, creativity and heart?

Haven is looking for a brilliant Personal Trainer who is also qualified to teach Mat Pilates to join our small, values-led team in Sydney’s Inner West.

This is a hybrid opportunity combining:

- Regular paid casual shifts with Haven (employed)
- The freedom to build and run your own PT business from our studio separately (independent contractor)

So you get reliable paid hours, an established community to become part of, plus the prospect to grow your own client base and income.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Personal Trainer first who genuinely loves coaching people, building relationships and helping different humans find movement that works for them.

Your rostered shifts may include:

- 1:1 PT sessions
- Semi-Private PT with up to 3 clients
- Small group classes including mat pilates and strength classes
- Client connection + light studio/admin tasks that help keep the studio humming.

Alongside your Haven shifts, you’ll have the freedom to operate as an independent 1:1 PT from the studio, build your own client base and potentially develop specialised services, workshops or programs.

We bring new people into Haven and give you opportunities to meet and coach them through your regular shifts - making this a great fit for someone who'd love to grow their own thing without having to start completely from scratch. You are also welcome to bring your own clients to the space too.

A LITTLE ABOUT HAVEN

Haven isn’t a conventional gym or Pilates studio.

We’re a body-positive, size-inclusive and LGBTQ+ inclusive movement studio centred around women, non-binary, trans-masc and gender-diverse folk.

No weigh-ins. No before-and-after photos. No “Pilates body”. No diet culture. No hierarchy of thinner, fitter or stronger = better.





We coach the human in front of us.

Our approach is warm, collaborative and invitational. You’ll work with people across different ages, body sizes, identities, abilities and confidence levels - including plenty of people who may never have felt like gyms or Pilates were “for them”.

YOU MIGHT BE OUR PERSON IF YOU...

- Hold Cert III & IV in Fitness + a recognised Mat Pilates qualification
- Have current First Aid & CPR
- Genuinely love Personal Training as well as teaching Pilates
- Are warm, emotionally intelligent and great with people
- Can confidently adapt movement for different bodies and abilities
- Are comfortable working completely outside weight-loss and diet-culture messaging
- Are mature, reliable, communicative, lovely and take ownership
- Have initiative and would be excited to develop your own PT clients or speciality alongside your Haven role

Experience in other movement modalities is a bonus!

WHAT YOU’LL GET

- Regular casual rostered shifts ($45-$50ph) + super
- Freedom to build your own independent PT business at Haven on top (no cap on income, est. $60-$95ph)
- An established community and flow of new clients to connect with
- A beautiful, character-filled Inner West studio
- Flexibility, autonomy and room for your own ideas
- A small, supportive, values-led team
- Opportunities to create workshops, programs and special events

This could suit an experienced trainer looking for a refreshing change, or a newer trainer with maturity, initiative and the right values who wants somewhere supportive to grow.

We care far more about finding the right human than the longest CV who fits our culture & community of women, non-binary and trans folk. Our members very much value representation of diversity, so people of different body shapes & sizes, ages & genders that challenge 'fitness norms' are warmly encouraged to apply.

Sound like your kind of place?

We’d love to meet you.
