If you're feeling stuck in the same routine, going through the motions, or wondering if there's more to being a trainer than just counting reps - that feeling won't go away on its own.

The trainers who join Strong Women Can aren't looking for "just another gym job." They're looking to become the coach they always wanted to be - and they're ready to be part of something that's raising the standards for coaching women and sitting at the forefront of the industry.

In 12 months, you'll either be exactly where you are now, or you'll be part of something that's changing the industry.

This Is More Than a Job. It's a Calling.

Meet Sam. She came to us from a big-box gym where she felt burnt out, just going through the motions. Within her first three months at Strong Women Can, she told us she finally felt like a "real coach."

She had a client who not only got stronger but finally understood her hormonal health and stopped blaming herself for things outside her control. Sam said it was the first time in her career she felt like she was making a real difference, not just ticking boxes.

That's what happens here. You don't just train bodies - you transform lives.

What Makes Strong Women Can Different

Unlike typical gyms where trainers are just selling sessions, here you become part of our members' life transformation stories. You're not just counting reps - you're changing lives and building a legacy.

We Handle the Hustle, You Focus on Coaching

Most trainers are exhausted from constantly hustling for new clients, managing their own marketing, and dealing with the feast-or-famine cycle. We handle all the marketing and client acquisition. You get stable, consistent schedules without the stress of wondering where your next client is coming from.

You'll Master What Other Trainers Don't Know

Your Cert III/IV gave you the basics. We'll give you the expertise that sets you apart. Through our intensive training, you'll learn:

• Pelvic floor assessment techniques

• How to coach women at all life stages - from postpartum to perimenopause

• How to incorporate mindset and behaviour change into your coaching

• Our signature methodology that combines strength training with holistic women's health

Performance-Based Growth That Rewards Excellence

Start at $39/hour and progress to $55/hour as you complete training milestones in our health pillars: programming, nutrition, and women's health. Your progression is based on the results you get for clients and how you contribute to our business and mission. This isn't about time served - it's about becoming exceptional.

Work-Life Balance That's Actually Real

We understand the importance of work-life balance and will work closely with you to create an optimal timetable. Our trainers work between 20-40 hours per week, seeing 10-25 clients in a mix of 1-on-1 and small group sessions. You'll spend about 80% of your time coaching and 20% on professional development, team meetings, and community building. We cap client loads so you never feel stretched thin and can give your best to every session.

What You'll Do (And Why It Matters)

Transform Lives Through Personalised Coaching

Conduct 1-on-1 and group training sessions tailored to individual needs and goals. You'll provide expert guidance on proper exercise techniques and nutrition to optimise results - but more importantly, you'll help women understand their bodies and reclaim their power.

Become a Holistic Health Expert

Coach our members on topics that most trainers never touch: hormonal health, nutrition, pelvic floor function, mental well-being, and key health practices. You'll ensure our members have the knowledge to make informed, empowered decisions about their health - not just follow a program blindly.

Build a Community, Not Just a Client List

Create and nurture a supportive, inclusive environment where women feel they belong. You'll build meaningful relationships, offer encouragement and support throughout their fitness journeys, and foster a sense of empowerment that extends far beyond the gym floor.

Educate and Inspire

Contribute to and potentially lead workshops that educate our members about fitness, nutrition, women's health, and overall wellness. Your expertise will empower our clients to make informed choices. This may extend to weekend events that enhance our members' experience and deepen community connection.

Be Part of a High-Performance Team

Contribute to weekly team meetings, support your colleagues, and assist with the general upkeep of the studio. We win together, we learn together, and we grow together.

Never Stop Growing

Continuously research industry best practices and implement new methodologies aligned with our objectives. Stay updated on the latest in women's health and fitness, and incorporate innovative training methods into our programs. We'll subsidise your personal and professional development because we're invested in you becoming the best.

Optional Opportunities to Expand Your Impact:

• Content Creation: Craft engaging content for our social media platforms, blogs, and websites. Help us inspire and connect with our online community and build your reputation as a recognised expert in women's strength training.

• Business Development: Create new business opportunities and contribute to marketing projects to ensure we continually build our community and spread our message.

Your First 3-6 Months: What to Expect

We don't throw you in the deep end. New trainers go through a structured 6-12 week onboarding where you'll shadow experienced coaches, complete our induction with training modules, and gradually build your client base.

You'll be paired with a mentor coach who meets with you weekly, and you'll attend our team meetings. By month 3, you're fully integrated and running your own sessions while continuing your education in our advanced modules.

This is where you transform from a good trainer into an exceptional coach.

Where You Could Be in 2-3 Years

Our best trainers have opportunities to become senior coaches who mentor new team members, lead our signature workshops and programs, or even move into leadership roles helping shape the direction of the business.

There are also great opportunities to become a recognised expert in women's strength training. We're growing, so there's real opportunity to grow with us - not just hit a ceiling.

Who Thrives Here (And Who Doesn't)

You'll love it here if you're:

• A curious lifelong learner who gets excited about diving deep into the "why" behind women's health - you're not satisfied with surface-level answers

• Someone who wants to be part of something bigger than just showing up, running sessions, and leaving

• Committed to your own strength training journey

• Self-driven with a dedication to personal and professional development

• Passionate about raising the standards for how women are coached

You probably won't love it here if you:

• Just want to clock in and clock out without investing in continuous learning

• Prefer working in isolation rather than as part of a team

• Aren't genuinely passionate about women's health and empowerment

• Think you already know everything and aren't open to new methodologies
