    Crossfit of Fremont 4.5company rating

    Personal trainer job in Newark, CA

    At Ikala, home of CrossFit of Fremont, we believe coaching is about more than workouts. It's about building people, creating trust, and helping others live stronger, more capable lives-inside and outside the gym. We're looking for a motivated Personal Trainer / Group Fitness Coach who wants to grow as an individual, develop their coaching craft, and contribute to a team that truly supports one another. This role is ideal for someone who values learning, collaboration, and long-term impact over quick wins. Why Ikala Is Different Ikala was built at the intersection of fitness, physical therapy, and community. Our coaching philosophy prioritizes movement quality, longevity, and real-life function-not just intensity for intensity's sake. You'll work in an environment shaped by physical therapy expertise, giving you the opportunity to: Learn how to coach safer, smarter movement Better understand pain, limitations, and movement compensations Confidently scale and progress exercises for all ages and abilities Bridge the gap between rehab, general fitness, and athletic performance We don't expect you to have everything figured out. We intentionally invest time in coach development-improving not just what you coach, but how you coach: communication, observation, cueing, and leadership. Programs You'll Coach Our coaches work across a variety of programs, including: CrossFit & functional group training Kupuna (older adult) group classes, focused on strength, balance, bone health, and independence Athlete development programs, supporting soccer, cricket, basketball, and swimming athletes One-on-one personal training, customized to each client's goals, history, and needs This variety allows coaches to grow their skill set and make a meaningful impact across the lifespan. Responsibilities Design and coach individualized programs based on goals, ability, and health history Lead group classes with clear instruction, strong presence, and genuine care Deliver one-on-one personal training focused on strength, movement quality, and long-term health Educate clients on proper mechanics, anatomy, and movement principles Apply CrossFit and functional training methodologies thoughtfully and safely Collaborate with fellow coaches and physical therapy staff to support client success Track progress and adjust programming to ensure continued improvement Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming gym environment Participate in ongoing coach education, mentorship, and team development Who We're Looking For Someone who wants to grow personally and professionally A team-first coach who values feedback, learning, and collaboration A coach who cares deeply about people, not just performance numbers Someone aligned with long-term health, consistency, and sustainability Who This Is NOT For This role is likely not a good fit if you: Are only interested in coaching classes and not developing as a coach Prefer doing your own thing rather than collaborating with a team Are focused primarily on personal workouts, PRs, or social media presence Are uncomfortable working with older adults, beginners, or athletes with limitations Are not open to feedback, continued learning, or evolving your coaching style Qualifications Experience in personal training and/or group fitness coaching Certifications in personal training, group fitness, CrossFit, Pilates, Yoga, or related fields (preferred) Working knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and movement mechanics Ability to coach diverse populations with confidence and empathy Strong communication skills and a positive, professional presence A genuine passion for health, wellness, and helping people live stronger lives What You'll Gain at Ikala Structured coach development and mentorship Exposure to physical therapy-informed coaching Experience coaching a wide range of populations and athletes A supportive team culture built on growth, humility, and good vibes The opportunity to build a meaningful, long-term coaching career If you're looking for a place where you can learn, grow, and be part of something bigger than yourself, we'd love to connect.
