Job description:
5th Ave Fitness is a boutique personal training studio in Park Slope/Gowanus looking for certified personal trainers to join our team. We're a small, client-focused gym where trainers actually get to know their clients—not a revolving door of members you'll never see twice.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT:
W2 employment (not 1099) — We handle your taxes, you get unemployment protection
Guaranteed pay during scheduled blocks — Even if a client cancels, you still get paid admin rate
No sales quotas — We do the selling. You do the training.
Small client roster — Quality over quantity. You'll actually remember everyone's name.
Team environment — Trainers collaborate, cover for each other, and share best practices
Clear advancement path — Performance reviews, merit raises
COMPENSATION:
Training sessions: $30-35/hr (entry)
Admin time: $18-20/hr (during scheduled blocks)
Buddy sessions: $44-46.25/hr
Paid sick leave (1 hr per 30 hrs worked)
Quarterly performance bonuses
SCHEDULE:
We use a 3-hour block system. You commit to specific blocks each week (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri 7-10am). During your blocks, you train clients and handle admin duties. We need coverage especially during:
Morning peak: 7am-10am (Mon-Fri)
Evening peak: 5pm-8pm (Mon-Fri)
Weekends: 9am-3pm
Minimum commitment: 2-3 blocks per week (6-9 hours). Ideal: 15-25 hours/week. Currently prioritizing weeknight and weekend availability
REQUIREMENTS:
Current personal training certification (NASM, ACE, NSCA, ACSM, ISSA, or equivalent)
CPR/AED certification (or willing to obtain before start)
1+ years training experience preferred (recent grads with strong practicum considered)
Reliable, punctual, and professional
Genuinely enjoy helping people who are new to fitness
BONUS POINTS:
Experience with beginners or deconditioned populations
Knowledge of corrective exercise or injury prevention
Comfortable with older adults (40+)
Available for morning peak hours (7-10am) or evening peak hours (5pm - 8pm)
TO APPLY:
Submit your resume and a brief note about why you want to work at a small studio vs. a big-box gym. We'll reach out to schedule a phone screen, followed by an in-person interview and shadow session.
5th Ave Fitness is an equal opportunity employer.
Application Question(s):


How many years of personal training experience do you have? (0-1 / 1-2 / 2-4 / 4+)
Which peak hours can you work 3+ days per week? (7-10am / 5-8pm / Weekends/AOTA)
