Dear Fellow Fitness Professional

My name is Benjamin Petitpas. I’m the owner of CT Workout in Newington, CT. Since 2008, we’ve been educating, motivating and inspiring our members to become the best version of themselves through our training, nutrition and lifestyle programs.

We’re growing, and it’s time to bring on more help. Our goal is to help thousands of Newington-area residents look, feel and perform their best. To do that, we need a strong team, including a solid personal trainer who is committed to helping our members succeed. We need a rock-star coach who brings out the best in people and loves working with groups.

You don’t need to be a 20-year veteran or have an alphabet soup of letters after your name. If you’re self-motivated and love to learn, I can develop your training skills. A nationally recognized certification is required. What I can’t teach is a great personality: you need to be great with people, including groups.

Why Coaches Like Working Here

I’ve worked in “big box” gyms, so I know what trainers dislike: 100% commission, sales quotas and closeouts. Working with us is different.

You’re measured by member retention and member reviews, not sales. If members like you and keep training with us, you earn more. As the business grows, you’re rewarded. Win-win-win.

$30/hour to start (base pay, not commission-only), with room to grow
15–20 hours a week to start
No sales quotas or closeouts
Set schedule (split shifts are normal: mornings and evenings)
1–2 Saturday mornings a month, never Sundays
Continuing education and leadership opportunities

We’re looking for a dedicated team member with a long-term vision who wants to grow into leadership with us, not someone planning to open their own business in a year or two.

What We’re Looking For

Great people skills. You’ll talk with members and prospective members in person, by phone, by text and by email. We’ll teach you what to say; we can’t teach manners and professionalism.

Thoughtful and organized. We want someone who thinks for themselves, learns and grows with us.

Social media savvy. Facebook is a big part of our community, so you should be comfortable using it.
