About Regis
Regis High School is a Catholic, Jesuit college-preparatory school for young men in grades 9–12 in New York City, and the only Jesuit, full-scholarship high school in the country. Founded in 1914 through the generosity of an anonymous woman and her family, Regis offers a tuition-free Jesuit education: every student attends on a full merit scholarship, made possible by the philanthropy of alumni, parents and friends.
Position Summary
The Strength and Conditioning Coach helps Regis student-athletes in school-sponsored sports programs get stronger, perform better and lower their risk of injury while building fitness habits that last a lifetime. Our goal is to give every athlete who wants to improve the resources to do it. The Strength and Conditioning Coach is responsible for creating programs that student-athletes can follow on their own and hosting weekly sessions for student-athletes. The position requires approximately 2 hours per week. The preference is for the job to be done in-person, but a remote option will be considered.
Job Responsibilities
- Develop a strength and conditioning program for each sport that student-athletes can follow on their own (at home, at a gym, or in the Regis fitness center).
- Host a regular, weekly 45-minute meeting, providing individual coaching and feedback to students who drop in, and/or presenting information to a group of student-athletes about safe training techniques, nutrition, hydration, etc.
- Communicate regularly with Director of Athletics about strength and conditioning programs, student meetings and student progress.
Qualifications
Required:
- A nationally recognized strength and conditioning certification (for example NSCA-CSCS, NASM or a comparable credential).
- Experience designing strength and conditioning programs for athletes, ideally high school or college athletes.
- Strong communication skills
- Appreciation for Catholic, Jesuit education and a commitment to Regis's mission.
Preferred:
- Experience working with high school athletes across several sports.
- A degree in exercise science, kinesiology or a related field.
Reporting Structure
Reports directly to the Director of Athletics.
To Apply
Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, resume, and a sample training program for one sport. Qualified applicants will be contacted regarding next steps once all required documents have been submitted. Applicants must be eligible to work without visa sponsorship. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
The Regis community strives to foster a sense of belonging at all levels of the organization. The hiring managers and school leaders seek to recruit and retain highly talented faculty and staff who are committed to the Catholic Jesuit mission and values. Central to this mission is a commitment to diversity and care for the whole person (cura personalis).

Personal Trainer Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a personal trainer in New York?
New York does not issue a state license for personal trainers, so entry depends on holding a certification from a nationally accredited organization recognized by the NCCA, such as ACE, NASM, ISSA, or ACSM. Most New York employers require that certification before hiring. You will also need a current CPR and AED credential. A background in exercise science, kinesiology, or a related field strengthens your candidacy at higher-end clubs and corporate wellness programs.
Which companies hire personal trainers in New York?
New York personal trainer roles are posted by New York Sports Club and Our Family of Brands, Equinox, and 24 Hour Fitness and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. New York's density of luxury fitness clubs, corporate campuses, and boutique studios means openings appear across a wide range of employer types throughout the state.
Which New York cities have the most personal trainer jobs?
New York, Brooklyn, and Rochester have the most personal trainer openings in New York right now. New York City drives the largest share by a wide margin given its concentration of flagship Equinox locations, corporate wellness contracts, and luxury residential buildings, while White Plains and Buffalo generate consistent demand through regional gym chains and university recreation centers anchoring those markets.
Are there remote personal trainer jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. About 3% of personal trainer openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most fitness work. The roles most likely to carry a remote component are online coaching positions, corporate wellness program management, and fitness content development rather than traditional floor training.
How can I get hired as a personal trainer in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is landing a fitness floor associate or group fitness assistant role at a large New York operator like Equinox, New York Sports Clubs, or a YMCA branch, where in-house mentorship and shadowing are common. Many of these employers support candidates in completing their NCCA-accredited certification on the job. Building a small client base through community centers, university recreation facilities, or parks programs across the five boroughs also gives you documented hours that convert directly into a training portfolio.
Where can I find and apply to personal trainer jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to personal trainer jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings, find the roles that match your certifications and experience level, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
