About STRIDE Fitness
STRIDE Fitness Southlands delivers the ultimate full-body cardio and strength experience that hits hard and moves fast. Our signature 55-minute high-intensity classes combine treadmill intervals with floor-based strength training, giving members a complete, results-driven workout in an efficient format. Every class is designed to challenge all fitness levels, with coaches guiding, motivating, and adjusting for individual needs while keeping the energy high.
At STRIDE Fitness, community and connection are just as important as the workout itself. Our coaches arent just instructors they are motivators, educators, and the heartbeat of the studio.
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced, high-energy Certified Personal Trainer with proven group fitness coaching experience to lead our signature classes in a split-room format.

Our ideal coach thrives in a high-energy, music-driven environment, connects easily with people, and knows how to keep both new and experienced members safe, engaged, and motivated from start to finish. You will inspire members to push past their limits, help convert first-timers into loyal members, and represent the STRIDE Fitness brand both in and out of the studio.
