WHO WE SERVE

Bent On Better (B.O.B.) has helped adults 50+ in West Chester get stronger, move pain-free, and stay active since 2015. Some have cranky knees. Some have replaced hips. They don't need a drill sergeant. They need a coach who makes a group of 6-8 feel like 6-8 private sessions.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

• You bring your own batteries. Rainy Monday, rough night... you still light up the room.
• You'd rather help a 65-year-old move pain-free than train young athletes.
• You love the one-on-one feel of a PT clinic or athletic training room, minus the Friday nights on the sideline.
• You're humble, coachable, and a forever student.

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF...

• You want a job you can "just show up" for.
• You want to run HIIT or boot camps, or coach by yelling.
• You coach from the corner with a phone in hand.
• Feedback makes you defensive instead of better.

Energy, heart, and genuine care are a must. We can teach systems. It's much harder to teach someone to care.

THE SCHEDULE (about 40 hrs/week)

• Coaching, ~20 hrs: 1-hour small group personal training sessions
• Member support, ~15-17 hrs: check-ins, welcoming new members, follow-up between sessions
• Team meetings + training, ~3 hrs

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Coach 20 sessions per week, up to 6-8 members per session
• Progress and regress exercises around injuries, replacements, and limitations
• Give every member multiple meaningful touchpoints per session
• Keep members accountable and supported outside the gym
• Help keep the space clean, safe, and welcoming

REQUIREMENTS

• Required: current NCCA-accredited certification (NASM, ACE, ACSM, NSCA, etc.)
• Required: current CPR/AED
• Required: available for the full PM schedule + Saturday mornings
• Preferred: background in personal training, exercise science, kinesiology, athletic training, or PT aide work, especially with older adults
