Overview
Are you a certified personal trainer who wants to do more than count reps? At the YMCA of Greater Kansas City, you'll build real relationships with members who are counting on you — not just for a good workout, but for encouragement, accountability, and lasting results.
Join a welcoming, mission-driven team dedicated to strengthening our community one person at a time. This is a part-time role with real growth potential: the more clients you develop, the more hours you work. Your success is in your hands.
Because our members train throughout the day, we're looking for trainers who can cover a range of hours — including at least one evening per week.
Why train with us?
Grow your income by growing your client base — as you build relationships with members, your hours grow with you
Free YMCA Adult Membership — full access to our facilities for you, on us
Flexible scheduling — we work with you to build a schedule that fits your life
Paid CPR/First Aid certification — we cover the cost so your credentials stay current
A built-in audience — no cold outreach or self-marketing required; our members are already here and looking for guidance
OUR CULTURE:
The YMCA of Greater Kansas City’s mission and core values are brought to life by our culture. It’s who we are, who we aspire to be and how we show up every day. We are cause-driven. We don’t just show up, we show up with purpose. We are welcoming: we are open to all. We are a place where you can belong and become. We are genuine: we value you and embrace your individuality. We are hopeful: we believe in you and your potential to become a catalyst in the world. We are nurturing: we support you in your journey to develop your full potential. We are determined: above all else, we are on a relentless quest to make our community stronger beginning with you.
Responsibilities
Lead one-on-one and small group training sessions tailored to each client's goals and abilities
Design personalized fitness plans and adjust them as clients progress
Build strong, trusting relationships with members that keeps them coming back
Ensure a safe workout environment by following YMCA and certification guidelines
Maintain accurate session records and client progress notes
Collaborate with fellow associates to create a welcoming, supportive wellness area
Report any safety concerns, equipment issues, or incidents to the appropriate supervisor promptly
Qualifications
Current nationally accredited personal training certification, including but not limited to:
American Council on Exercise (ACE)
National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)
American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA)
Current CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain upon hire — we cover the cost)
18 years of age or older
A genuine passion for helping people of all fitness levels reach their goals
Strong communication skills and a warm, encouraging coaching style
Reliable, professional, and a true team player
