Head Trainer | BFT Elsternwick | 30 Hours Per Week + Growth Pathway

If you’re an experienced group fitness coach who loves helping people train well, feel confident and enjoy their hour in the studio, this could be a brilliant next step.

At BFT Elsternwick, we’re looking for a Head Trainer who wants more than just coaching classes.

We’re looking for someone who wants to lead from the floor, raise coaching standards, support other coaches, build strong member relationships and help grow a studio that genuinely cares about its people.

The role is 30 hours per week, with the opportunity to become full-time for the right person.

You’ll be trusted, supported and challenged.

The standards are high. The community is strong.

Why this role is different

You’ll be joining a values-led studio group that takes coaching, member experience and team development seriously.

You’ll receive leadership mentoring, ongoing coaching development and the opportunity to grow your skills across coaching, communication, team leadership, member retention, studio operations and community-building.

You’ll still be on the floor doing what you love, but you’ll also be helping shape the member experience.

You won’t be left to figure everything out alone.

You also won’t be able to coast.

We’re looking for someone who wants to get better, take ownership and be part of a team that takes pride in delivering a consistently excellent experience.

• Delivering exceptional group training sessions that are fun, safe and high-energy

• Coaching with attention to detail: form, technique, regressions, progressions and injury considerations for everybody in the room

• Looking after first-timers and new members so their first weeks feel welcoming, not intimidating

• Mentoring and developing our casual coaches

• Driving Challenges, studio promotions and community events

• Celebrating member wins and milestones, big and small

• Keeping daily studio operations and standards sharp

• Actively contributing to the growth, retention and success of the studio

• Content Creation

Who you are

• An experienced group fitness coach, ideally with a strength and conditioning background

• Cert III and IV in Fitness, with at least three years of PT or group fitness experience

• Brilliant with people: you read a room, remember names and make nervous first-timers feel at home

• High-energy on the floor

• Coachable. You take feedback well, and you want it

• Values-driven, with genuine care for members and teammates

• Excited to keep developing as a coach, a leader and a person

What you'll get

• A part-time Head Trainer role of 30 hours per week, with a genuine opportunity to move to full-time for the right person

• Structured leadership mentoring and ongoing coaching development

• A clear career progression pathway within a growing studio group

• A supportive, tight-knit team that backs each other

• A free BFT membership for you and your partner

• A meaningful role at the heart of a strong local fitness community
