We're Hiring: Group Fitness Coach
Coach Tane Fitness | Rolleston, Canterbury
Full-time preferred | Part-time & casual considered
We're looking for a new coach to join the CTF crew!
At Coach Tane Fitness, we run 33-minute coached sessions combining strength, cardio and boxing. With no fixed class times, members turn up when it suits them, and we're there to guide, coach and support them through their workout.
We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys coaching, has a good eye for movement quality and knows how to connect with people. Someone who takes the time to get to know our members and helps make the gym somewhere they look forward to coming back to.
What the role involves
Group Fitness Coaching: Deliver quality coaching across strength, cardio and boxing, helping members improve their technique and adapt exercises to suit different abilities.
Boxing & Padwork: Hold pads and coach basic boxing technique, with at least 3 minutes of padwork per member per workout. Experience is an advantage, but training will be provided.
Member Engagement & Retention: Build genuine relationships, understand members' goals and help them stay consistent through check-ins, follow-ups and ongoing support.
Gym Standards: Take ownership of your shifts, keep sessions running smoothly and contribute to a great training environment.
Who we're looking for
We're looking for a good coach, but just as importantly, a good person.
Ideally, you'll have:
A recognised fitness or exercise qualification (Level 3 or above), or be actively studying towards one. Level 4 or higher is preferred.
A sound understanding of exercise technique, movement quality and exercise modifications.
Great communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
A positive attitude, reliability, initiative and a genuine passion for helping others.
Current First Aid/CPR certification, or willingness to obtain it before coaching independently.
Previous coaching experience is an advantage, but we're happy to develop the right person.
You don't need to be the loudest person in the gym or know everything from day one. We value genuine people who care about doing a good job and are willing to learn.
Why join us?
We're a locally owned gym with a close-knit team and a great community of members. We enjoy what we do, have a good laugh along the way and genuinely care about the people who walk through our doors.
What we offer:
A supportive team environment.
Training in our CTF coaching system.
Ongoing feedback and professional development.
Free gym membership.
Opportunities for additional hours and responsibilities as the business grows.
