Coach at Method Strong
Full-time, salaried coaching jobs at two private strength training gyms in Arlington, VA.
A full schedule and a salary
Most gyms pay coaches per session and leave them to find their own clients. We pay a salary, and we have consistently filled new trainers' schedules within 2 months. You coach in a private facility, with a team that knows your clients' history as well as you do.

Why coach here
A salary, not a per-session rate
Full-time coaches earn $86K to $118K for a standard schedule of about 30 sessions a week, with room to earn more by opening more hours.
A tier system you move up
Promotions to higher tiers raise your rate and your salary band, based on your coaching, education, credentials, and results.
Benefits and paid time off
Medical, dental, and vision benefits start within your first quarter, along with paid time off.
Performance bonuses
Bonuses twice a year, tied to your performance reviews.
Paid time to keep learning
Internal education counts as paid time, so getting better as a coach is part of the job.
A private gym, and the business side
Coach your clients without working around members, and learn operations, management, and team development from the owner.
The team trains together
Every Tuesday, our coaches step off the coaching floor and train as a team. We hold ourselves to the same standard we set for clients, at both Method Fitness in Cherrydale and M2 in Ballston.

How hiring works
Step 1
Send your resume
Email your resume to aryan@methodstrong.com with the role you are applying for. Our General Manager reviews every application.
Step 2
Screening video call
A 60-minute call with our General Manager. We send a movement assessment ahead of time so you can bring a program for it, and we walk through salary, benefits, and how coaches move up.
Step 3
Practical interview
Three hours in the gym with a Fitness Director: a programming review, then a two-hour session coaching two of our clients. We check references before this step.
Step 4
Meet the founder
A one-hour sit-down with Aryan Siahpoushan, our founder, to talk about who you are and how you want to grow as a coach.
Step 5
Offer
We decide together as a leadership team, usually within two weeks. After a background check, you get an offer letter and employment agreement.
