The Lead Strength & Conditioning Coach is responsible for leading the coaching team, delivering exceptional training experiences, and ensuring consistent execution of the D1 Training philosophy. This role also functions as a Personal Training Manager, overseeing coaching staff, driving training quality, and ensuring a high-level member experience.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll coach athletes, develop staff, and drive performance across the facility. If you enjoy leading from the front and building a strong team culture, this role gives you real ownership.
What You’ll Do

- Provide personal training and individualized coaching as needed
- Oversee personal training operations, including session quality and consistency
- Hire, train, and develop coaching staff to deliver high-quality workouts
- Support trainer scheduling, development, and accountability
- Ensure all sessions reflect D1 training standards and philosophy
- Track and improve member engagement and retention
- Maintain a high-energy, positive training environment
- Build strong relationships with members and support retention efforts
- Partner with sales staff to support trial workouts and member onboarding
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in strength & conditioning, personal training, or performance coaching
- Prior leadership or experience managing or mentoring a personal training team preferred
- Strong knowledge of program design, movement mechanics, and injury prevention
- Ability to lead, motivate, and hold a team accountable
- High energy, professionalism, and strong communication skills
- CPR/AED/First Aid certification (required)
- Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science or related field (preferred)
Why This Role Stands Out
- Lead a team in a performance-driven training environment
- Direct impact on both athlete results and team development
- Opportunity to grow into higher-level leadership within a scaling brand
- Work with a diverse athlete base, from youth to adults to teams
