Fitness Coach Jobs in Illinois

LadyStrong Fitness | Schaumburg, IL
15–20 hours per week | In person

LadyStrong Fitness is looking for a passionate, dependable coach who wants more than a few classes on the side.

This is a part-time position with the opportunity to grow into a full-time coaching and training career within LadyStrong. We are a growing women’s fitness company with additional locations planned within the next 6–12 months, creating future opportunities in coaching, personal training, leadership, studio operations, member success and more.

We are looking for someone who wants to grow with us, not someone simply looking to pick up an occasional class.

Who We Are

LadyStrong Fitness is a women-only strength-training community with studios in Schaumburg and Geneva. Our mission is to help women build strength inside and out.

We specialize in creating an encouraging, inclusive environment where women of all ages and fitness levels can become stronger, more confident and more capable.

Our values include:

• Empowerment: We help women recognize what they’re capable of.
• Community: Our members and team genuinely support one another.
• Growth: We are committed to continuous improvement—for our members, our coaches and our company.
• Professionalism: We take our members’ experience and results seriously.
• Fun: We believe hard work and positive energy can coexist.

The Opportunity

You will begin in a part-time coaching role at our Schaumburg studio, working approximately 15–20 hours per week.

For the right person, this position can become the beginning of a long-term career with LadyStrong. As we grow, we expect to create additional full-time coaching, personal-training, leadership and operational opportunities.

We invest heavily in developing our team, but we are looking for someone who is equally invested in developing themselves.

What You’ll Do

• Lead safe, engaging and high-energy group strength-training sessions.
• Coach proper exercise form, technique and modifications.
• Motivate members while meeting them at their individual ability levels.
• Learn our LadyStrong programming, coaching standards and member experience.
• Build genuine relationships with members and help them remain consistent.
• Assist members with goal setting, progress and accountability.
• Help maintain a clean, organized and welcoming studio environment.
• Participate in team training, meetings and professional development.
• Represent LadyStrong professionally inside and outside the studio.
• Be open to taking on additional coaching, training or leadership responsibilities as the company grows.

Who We’re Looking For

Our ideal candidate is:

• Energetic, encouraging and confident in front of a group.
• Passionate about strength training and women’s health.
• Highly dependable, punctual and prepared.
• Coachable and eager to receive feedback.
• Comfortable correcting form and adapting exercises when needed.
• Able to connect with women of different ages, backgrounds and fitness levels.
• Interested in building a meaningful career in fitness.
• Excited by the opportunity to grow with a developing company.
• Willing to contribute beyond simply showing up and teaching a class.
• Professional, team-oriented and committed to creating an exceptional member experience.

Required Qualifications

• Current personal-training or group-fitness certification from a nationally recognized organization such as NASM, ACE, ACSM, ISSA or a comparable provider.
• Current CPR/AED certification, or willingness to obtain it before coaching independently.
• A strong understanding of strength-training fundamentals and exercise form.
• Reliable transportation to our Schaumburg studio.
• Consistent availability for an ongoing schedule.
• Willingness to complete LadyStrong’s paid training and coaching-development process.

At least one year of coaching or personal-training experience is preferred. However, we are willing to consider a newer coach who demonstrates exceptional potential, professionalism, energy and commitment.

What We Offer

• Approximately 15–20 hours per week.
• A defined opportunity to grow toward full-time employment.
• Paid training and ongoing coach development.
• Professional-development and certification assistance.
• Complimentary LadyStrong membership.
• Employee discounts.
• Referral incentives.
• Opportunities to expand into personal training, leadership, operations and other areas of the company.
• Potential advancement opportunities as LadyStrong opens additional locations.
• A supportive team and a meaningful mission centered on helping women become stronger.

Before You Apply

Please apply only if you are looking for a consistent coaching position and are genuinely interested in growing within LadyStrong.

Our members depend on coaches who are reliable, engaged and committed. This is not intended to be a temporary role or an occasional side job. We are looking for someone who wants to develop their skills, take on greater responsibility and potentially build a full-time career with our company.

How to Apply

Please submit:

• Your résumé.
• Your current fitness certification or expected certification date.
• Your general weekly availability.
• A brief explanation of why you are interested in LadyStrong.
• Where you would like your fitness career to be in the next one to two years.
