Job title: Personal Trainer (Full-Time, Paid Sales Training) – Fitness After 40
Location: Bedford (Elstow MK42 9NZ)
Salary: £27,500 base + uncapped commission (realistic OTE £45,000+)
Job type: Full-time, in-person
ARE YOU A COMPETITIVE, DRIVEN COACH WHO LOVES HELPING PEOPLE WIN?
About the role
This is a full‑time PT role with guaranteed hours, no rent, and paid sales training.
It’s ideal for a qualified personal trainer in their first few years who wants:
- A stable income (not just random sessions)
- A clear career path in a growing company
- To work with clients 40+ who hate “normal” gyms and want real support
You’ll spend part of your time on the gym floor coaching, and part of your time speaking to new enquiries and enrolling them into our 6‑week trial and ongoing memberships.
About us
The Training Gyms is a high‑end fitness company with 5 locations, specialising in “fitness after 40.”
We help men and women 40+ get stronger, leaner and more confident so they can enjoy life longer.
Our Bedford club is friendly, supportive and focused on delivering an excellent client experience, not a typical commercial gym vibe.
What you’ll be doing
- Welcoming new trial members, making them feel safe, understood and supported
- Coaching fully guided small‑group and 1:1 sessions (no packed classes, no rent)
- Calling warm enquiries who have requested information and booking them into our 6‑week Fit After 40 trial
- Running simple in‑person consultations to understand goals, explain our programmes and recommend the right option
- Enrolling suitable trial members into 12‑month memberships using our step‑by‑step sales process (full training given)
- Working towards clear weekly targets for calls, bookings, show‑ups and memberships, with support and feedback
Earnings & commission
- £27,500 base salary
- Typical commission per new membership: around £80+ per sale
- Once you’re up to speed, 8–12+ sales per month is realistic (and more if you overperform), which is how most team members reach £45,000+ OTE
Who this is perfect for
- You’re a qualified PT who enjoys building relationships, not just counting reps
- You see yourself as competitive and driven – you like clear targets and hate underperforming
- You’re happy to speak about prices and programmes in a straightforward, honest way
- You enjoy working in a small, supportive team and helping clients 40+ feel confident in the gym
Requirements
- Level 3 Personal Training qualification (required)
- Some experience coaching clients (can include placements or first PT role)
- Experience in any customer‑facing or sales role (preferred, not essential)
- Able to reliably get to our Bedford gym for early mornings, evenings and some weekends
- Right to work in the UK
What you get
- £27,500 base salary
- Uncapped commission – realistic OTE £45,000+
- Full sales training and ongoing mentoring
- Clear progression path as we grow (senior coach, lead sales, club manager, multi‑site roles)
- Employee discounts on services
- Company pension
- Free on‑site parking
- Work with a positive, ambitious team in a specialist over‑40 training environment
