Group Fitness Trainer & Pilates Instructor - Altern8 Training, St Ives

We're a boutique gym in St Ives and we're growing. We're looking for 1-2 people - a group fitness trainer and Pilates instructor to help us launch a new Pilates program.

If you want to be developed, paid properly, and trusted to do your job well, keep reading.

Who we are

Altern8 Training opened in 2021 in St Ives. We run group training across indoor and outdoor spaces and our members are the real thing - they show up, work hard, and stick around because of the people around them.

We're family-owned. No franchise rules, no head office politics. That means we can actually reward the people who contribute to what we're building here.

What every trainer gets

Pay that reflects your value. We pay well above award via our development pathway - not as a throwaway line but as a real commitment tied to your development. The better you get, the more you earn. Plus we offer commissions and bonuses are on top of your hourly rate.

A development pathway that goes somewhere. We run a 4-level career pathway from onboarding through to senior trainer and beyond, with paid mentorship built in from day one. You'll get regular in-house development sessions, workshops with local professionals, and a mentor who's actually invested in where you end up, not just how you perform this week. For those who want it, there are genuine pathways into business and management too. Everything from sales, marketing, operations and finances.

Flexibility that works in real life. We're a small team. We know you have study, family, or other commitments. We build rosters around people, not the other way around.

Work that actually means something. Our members aren't numbers on a spreadsheet. You'll know their names, their goals, and their wins. Helping people is the whole point of this industry and it's what we're genuinely about.

Role 1 - Group Fitness Trainer

Running group sessions across our indoor and outdoor spaces. Hours start at 6 to 15 per week with clear room to grow. Pay is $40 to $65 per hour depending on experience, plus commissions and bonuses.

What we're looking for:

• Cert III or IV in Fitness (active)

• Current First Aid and CPR

• Someone reliable who genuinely cares about the people in front of them

• Someone who is coachable- willing to try things, make mistakes and learn along the way

Role 2 - Pilates Instructor

We're launching Pilates and we want the right person to help build it, not just deliver classes. If you've wanted to shape a program rather than inherit one, this is worth a conversation. Pay is $60 to $80 per hour depending on experience, plus commissions and bonuses.

What we're looking for:

• Recognised Pilates qualification (STOTT, DAS, or APMA-accredited)

• Current First Aid and CPR

• Experience teaching mat Pilates to mixed fitness levels

• A genuine point of view on what makes a class worth coming back to
