Personal Trainer
SEEKING PERSONAL TRAINER
-About Us-BodyLean is a specialised personal training studio based on Mana Esplanade in Paremata, Porirua. Over the past eight years, we’ve grown from a single trainer to a dedicated team of five — and we’re not slowing down.
We work primarily with people over 40 who want to make the most of life, value their health and fitness, but prefer to avoid the atmosphere of large commercial gyms. You could say we’re the gym for people who don’t like gyms.
Our mission is to create a warm, welcoming, and professional environment where clients can truly thrive. Using our proven approach to personal training, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching, we help every client achieve lasting results and a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Now, we’re looking for another passionate personal trainer to join our team.
-About this Opportunity-Starting October 2025, you’ll work directly with our Fitness Director to deliver exceptional personal training using our tried-and-tested BodyLean systems. This role is for an experienced trainer who thrives in a supportive, team-focused environment and is committed to delivering high-quality, personalised coaching.
You’ll train clients in our semi-private format (1 trainer : 3 clients) as well as small group sessions (up to 8 clients). And the best part? You’ll walk straight into 20 hours of personal training clients — no marketing required.
-Our Mission and Values-We remove the intimidation of traditional gyms by offering genuine guidance, encouragement, and support. Our aim is to be the highlight of our clients’ week — their biggest cheerleader and strongest ally.
Our core values are:- Professionalism – Deliver a consistently high standard of service.
- Authenticity – Be genuine in all interactions.
- Approachability – Create a warm, friendly environment.
- Lifelong Learning – Always seek to grow personally and professionally.
The ideal candidate will have at least one year of experience as a personal trainer, with a background in both one-on-one personal training and small group sessions preferred. You’ll have a proven track record of working collaboratively within a team, delivering exceptional, high-touch customer service, and achieving strong client results.
The requirements below outline the skills, knowledge, and abilities essential for success in this role.
-Key Responsibilities-- Deliver semi-private PT sessions (1:3) and small group sessions (up to 8 clients).
- Work 20 hours per week (with potential for more) on a recurring weekly schedule.
- Be available for Saturday sessions and some early mornings.
- Attend the weekly team meeting (Wednesday early afternoons).
- Maintain BodyLean’s continuing education standards.
- Communicate reliably via email.
- Learn and deliver our training and nutrition systems confidently from day one.
We’ll ensure you’re fully prepared for success by training you in our proven training and nutrition systems, so you can feel confident and comfortable from day one.
This role could be perfect for someone already working elsewhere and looking to add extra PT hours, or for a trainer ready to make BodyLean their sole focus and grow it into a full-time business.
-Skills Required-- Relevant fitness qualifications.
- Excellent customer service and communication skills.
- Detail-oriented, dependable, and professional.
- NZ residency or valid work visa.
- Genuine care for people.
- Always follow through on commitments.
- Passionate about personal and professional development.
- Strong team player.
