Great Coaches Change Lives. Come Do That With Us.
Opportunities to join a great team don't come around often.
It's been over two years since we've needed to post a coaching position at Orangetheory Fitness Maple Grove, and there's a reason for that. We invest in our people, develop great coaches, and have built a culture where both our team and our members want to stay.
We're proud to be the northwest metro's most award-winning fitness studio, with a 4.9-star Google rating and more than 580 reviews. Our reputation has been built through years of exceptional coaching, genuine relationships, and a commitment to doing things right, every single day.
Now we're looking for the right person to join our team.
This Is More Than Leading a Workout
At Orangetheory, our coaches deliver science-backed, heart rate-based workouts that combine strength, endurance, and power. Our programming is designed for you, allowing you to focus on what matters most: coaching people.
You'll lead energetic group workouts with up to 45 members, but the real skill is making every person in that room feel like they're receiving individual attention.
Our members come to us with different backgrounds, abilities, and goals. Some want to lose weight or build muscle. Others want to improve their cardiovascular health, maintain independence as they age, or simply feel better physically and mentally.
Your job is to meet them where they are, challenge them appropriately, and help them discover what they're capable of.
What Makes Our Studio Different?
An Established, Respected Team
Our coaching staff brings decades of combined experience. We believe in sharing knowledge, supporting one another, and continually improving our craft.
We Invest in Your Success
We don't expect great coaches to develop on their own. We provide comprehensive training, mentorship, and ongoing professional development to help you become the best coach you can be.
Coaching Without the Constant Client Chase
Our workouts are professionally programmed, and our studio provides an established member community. Spend less time selling sessions or building a client list and more time actually coaching.
Consistent Coaching Opportunities
We're looking for someone to coach approximately 10–20 classes per week, with competitive compensation of $25–$75 per hour. This is an opportunity to build a meaningful coaching schedule without the uncertainty of constantly finding new clients.
Real Relationships, Real Impact
We're fortunate to have an incredible community of members who value their coaches. You'll get to know their goals, celebrate their milestones, and become an important part of their fitness journey.
A Culture Built Around Doing Things Right
We take our work seriously, but we have a lot of fun doing it. We value professionalism, teamwork, accountability, and a genuine desire to help others succeed.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who brings more than fitness knowledge to the studio.
- A nationally recognized personal training or group fitness certification, or the ability to obtain an approved certification
- Current CPR/AED certification, or willingness to obtain it before coaching
- Strong understanding of exercise technique, strength training, and cardiovascular conditioning
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to lead and motivate a group
- The ability to manage multiple clients while providing individualized coaching and attention
- A positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to learn
- Someone who genuinely cares about people and takes pride in their progress
Previous group fitness experience is helpful, but character, coachability, and the ability to connect with people matter just as much to us.
What We Offer
- $25–$75 per hour in coaching compensation
- Approximately 10–20 classes per week
- Health insurance for eligible employees
- Consistent, structured coaching opportunities
- Paid training and ongoing professional development
- Established, science-backed workout programming
- A supportive and experienced coaching team
- An outstanding community of members
- Opportunities to grow your skills and build a long-term career in fitness
One Last Thing...
We believe great coaching is about more than counting repetitions, calling out treadmill speeds, or playing great music.
It's about recognizing when someone needs encouragement, knowing when to challenge them, teaching proper technique, and helping people achieve results they didn't think were possible.
That's the standard we've built at Orangetheory Fitness Maple Grove, and it's why our members continue to trust us with their health and fitness.
If you're passionate about fitness, genuinely care about people, and want to be part of a team that takes pride in what it does, we'd love to meet you.
Apply today and tell us a little about yourself and why you love coaching.
Pay: $25.00 - $75.00 per hour
Expected hours: 10.0 – 20.0 per week
Benefits:
- Employee discount
- Flexible schedule
- Gym membership

Fitness Coach Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a fitness coach in Minnesota?
Minnesota does not require a state-issued license to work as a fitness coach, but employers across the state consistently require a nationally recognized personal training certification from organizations such as NASM, ACE, ACSM, or NSCA. Most positions also require a high school diploma at minimum, with an associate or bachelor's degree in kinesiology, exercise science, or a related field preferred. Completing CPR and AED certification alongside your training credential strengthens any application significantly.
Which companies hire fitness coachs in Minnesota?
Companies currently hiring fitness coachs in Minnesota include Orangetheory Fitness, Amazing Athletes, and Studio ME Fitness, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Minnesota's mix of large health systems, corporate wellness programs, and regional fitness chains means openings appear regularly across clinical, commercial, and community settings throughout the state.
Which Minnesota cities have the most fitness coach jobs?
The cities with the most fitness coach openings in Minnesota are Rochester, Rogers, and Roseville. The Twin Cities metro drives the majority of listings due to its density of health systems, corporate headquarters with wellness programs, and large fitness chains, while Rochester's concentration of Mayo Clinic and affiliated healthcare employers supports consistent demand for coaches in clinical and rehabilitation-adjacent roles.
Are there remote fitness coach jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. Fitness coaching is fundamentally a hands-on role, so most positions require in-person work at a gym, clinic, or corporate facility. About 0% of fitness coach openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be virtual coaching, online programming, or wellness consulting roles rather than traditional floor coaching positions.
How can I get hired as a fitness coach in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a recognized certification like NASM or ACE and applying directly to the YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities or Life Time Fitness, both of which regularly hire entry-level coaches and provide structured onboarding for new trainers. Starting as a fitness floor attendant, group exercise instructor, or wellness associate at a Minnesota health system like Allina Health or HealthPartners can also open doors to coaching roles. Building a small portfolio of client testimonials or a supervised training log gives candidates without formal experience a concrete edge.
Where can I find and apply to fitness coach jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to fitness coach jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Search the listings to find roles that fit your certifications and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that match.
