Most trainers leave the industry within a few years. Not because they can't coach, but because nobody taught them how to build the rest: retention, relationships, systems, a career path. At RFT, that part is built for you, and we teach you how it works.

This is a fully employed role. No rent, no chasing your own clients, no guessing what to do next. You coach, you look after your people, and we invest in you while you do it.

About RFT

RFT is a personal training studio in Castle Hill, built over 13 years and home to a community of mostly 45-to-65-year-olds getting strong, losing weight and keeping it off for life.

We're not a big-box gym and we're not chasing ten locations. We're going deep on one studio, doing it properly, and becoming the proof that our way of coaching works.

Our 2029 vision: By 2029, RFT is the most trusted place in the Hills for people over 45 to get strong, lose weight and keep it for life, and the proof that the RFT Way works, so other studios learn it from us.

Where we're heading next: the friendliest results-focused transformation studio within 15km. That means more members, more five-star reviews, more life-changing transformations, and more senior roles for the coaches who help us get there.

The role

You'll coach our members on the floor and own the relationship with a group of them off it. At RFT, results and retention come from both.

- Coach 1-1 and small group strength sessions. Run safe, well-coached, high-energy sessions for members of all levels, many of whom are new to lifting or coming back after years away.

- Own a member cohort. Take responsibility for a group of members: check-ins, accountability, program updates in Trainerize and spotting anyone drifting before they drop off. Names, not numbers.

- Drive transformations. Help members hit real milestones in strength and weight loss, and help us celebrate and share them.

- Grow the community. Lead and show up to our challenges,



charity bootcamps and member events.

- Show up on socials. Share client wins and genuinely useful content on our stories, in your own voice.

- Help run the studio. Pitch in on day-to-day operations so the whole team can deliver a great member experience.

How we support you

You won't be left to figure it out. Every coach works from simple daily habits, a weekly cohort review and regular team education, so you always know where your members stand and what to do next.

Who we're looking for

You need a Certificate III and IV in Fitness (or equivalent), plus current First Aid and CPR. After that, we care far more about who you are than what's on your CV.

You don't need to know how to sell, retain or build a business yet. Most trainers were never taught that. You do need to want to learn it.

You'll fit at RFT if you:

- Genuinely like people, especially people who've been intimidated by gyms before

- Take radical responsibility: you own your members, your mistakes and your growth

- Are consistent: you do the small things every day, not just when it's easy

- Want feedback and coaching for yourself

- Want to stay in this industry long term and build a real career in it

Our values

These are how we hire, coach and make decisions.

Create RADs: Rare and delightful moments. The card, the call, remembering the grandkid's name.
Names Not Numbers: Every member is a person with a story, not a membership.
My Success Is Your Success: When the team wins, you win. We grow together.
Real Over Perfect: Show up, have a go,



keep improving. No fake highlight reels.
Ubuntu: I am because we are. We look after each other and our community.

Working pattern

Full-time, 38 hours per week on a fixed roster. Our sessions run early mornings (from 5:00am) and evenings Monday to Friday, plus Saturday mornings. We build rosters to keep split shifts to a minimum.

You'll need to be comfortable with early starts and those hours.

What you'll get

- Salary: $70,000-$80,000 + super, full-time from day one

- Quarterly and Annual performance bonus tied to what actually matters: member retention, referrals, reviews and results.

- Your own Achievement Roadmap: we sit down with you, map your 3-year vision and 12-month goals, and build a plan to get you there inside RFT

- Weekly team education and ongoing investment in your coaching and business skills

- A clear path up: Coach to Senior Coach to leadership roles like Head of Member Results and Studio Manager, all promoted from within

- Team rewards: when we hit our studio goals together, the whole team shares in it (e.g. team trips and dinners)

- 20 Days annual leave, ongoing career development and investment in your coaching, Regular team events and socials plus Free RFT Membership

We want good coaches to stay for the long run. Everything above is built to make that possible.

How to apply

Who you are matters more to us than a perfect CV. Send your CV, a short note about what attracted you to this opportunity, and a one-minute video covering:

- Your name and a bit about you

- Why you want to coach people over 45

- A time you went the extra mile for a client (your best RAD)

- Where you want your career to be in three years

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a chat and a trial session at the studio. The role includes a 6-month probation period.

We look forward to meeting you.
