Personal Trainer - One Playground

ONE PLAYGROUND ORIGIN

Starting from humble beginnings as a small bootcamp in Surry Hills, today we are a national brand on a mission to “Inspire Change” in the global fitness industry.

In March 2023, Fitness Playground became One Playground, representing our move beyond fitness and aesthetics to become an all-encompassing playground for health and fitness.

Coaching sits at the heart of that mission, and it’s why we built One Coach: our dedicated coaching brand and the engine behind the results our members come to us for.

ONE PLAYGROUND PHILOSOPHY

We believe that Gyms must get better at taking care of their members. Our philosophy is “If we take care of our staff, they will take care of our members”.

This philosophy has been a critical driver of One Playground's growth and our people's development over the past 12 years. It has led us to grow to a team of over 450+ across 8 locations, and we are proud to be consistently recognised as one of Australia's best places to work.

Our accolades include being rated Top 50 Places to Work in Australia, 2019 & 2020 Employer of Choice Award, AFR Best Places to Work, 2021, FITSummit Boutique of the Year 2022 and 2023, and 2024 ABA100® Winner for Training Excellence.

WHAT ARE WE?

At One Playground, we are committed to creating the best gyms, not the most gyms.

We are a new kind of gym, a ‘super-boutique’, giving members complete access to a ‘one-stop-shop’ of fitness and wellness.

Our mission is to defy expectations by offering award-winning designs, fostering connected communities, providing a wide range of classes, and employing exceptional individuals who are passionate about what they do.

Alongside our purpose to “Inspire Change”, One Playground has a strong set of 6 core values.

We are “One Team”, of “Great Humans”, who get “Better Every Day”, working on “Mastering Our Craft”, so we can “Design the Future” and, most importantly, “Do Cool Sh*t!”

If this sounds like a workplace culture that resonates with you, we would love for you to apply to join the team.

THE ROLE

We are expanding rapidly, with 5 new club openings scheduled across the next 12 months, creating a rare chance to grow your career within a thriving, fast-paced organisation.

This is where your journey within One Coach begins.

Our Elevated Coach Program is a structured pathway designed to teach you the skills, systems and processes required to build a thriving personal training business, while delivering an exceptional experience to every client you coach.

You’ll learn directly from experienced coaches and leaders, build your first client base, and develop the technical, business and people skills that set our trainers apart.

This isn’t a role for someone looking for a generic personal training job. It’s for someone who wants to build a genuine coaching career, backed by a system, a brand and a community that has spent over a decade refining what it means to be a world-class trainer.

If you’re ready to master your craft, build your business, and make a real impact on people’s lives every single day, keep reading.
