“Join a Team Where You’ll Be Mentored Towards a Thriving Personal Training Career With a Growing Business!”

A Message from the Owners

Dear Prospective Fitness Coach, 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our site. It’s our hope you have precisely what we need in a fitness coach so we can take this page down immediately, and put you to work in the fun and rewarding coaching position we have available.

So let us tell you about ourselves, our company and the coaching position. Our names are Andre and Julie, we’re happily married with 2 children and we run a fitness and nutrition coaching company called Evertrain in Ottawa, ON.

We’re both former competitive athletes (Andre - football 🏈 and Julie - figure skating ⛸) and have a background in education (Andre worked for 2 of the leading fitness education businesses in North America and Julie has over 10 years experience as a teacher). We’re not only passionate about fitness, but we have a deep love for teaching others.

Our business is dedicated to helping people over fifty achieve their health and fitness goals through customized nutrition and fitness programs and world class customer service.

And business is booming! 🥳 We’re looking for an enthusiastic, self-driven, and energetic person to start training some of our current clients.

We’re serious about results 💪

We currently offer:

• one-on-one and semi-private customized nutrition and fitness programs

• online coaching and education…

…which educate and support people over fifty to improve their health and fitness by:

• getting out of pain

• moving better

• losing weight

• and developing lifestyle habits that stick.

Most clients begin with an initial 12-month coaching package, which includes habit-based lifestyle and nutrition counselling, exercise program design, regular fitness assessments, and weekly training sessions at the studio or virtually.

At Evertrain, we provide a supportive work environment where you’ll be a valued asset to the team. We’ll not only provide you with a full roster of training clients, but we’ll guide and mentor you towards becoming a first-class personal trainer. When you join Evertrain, you’ll be joining a like-minded team of people who love coming to work every day — where the work doesn’t feel like work. You’ll have opportunities to grow and take on leadership positions. With our conceptual frameworks, systems, tools, and software, we’ll show you all the steps on how to have a personal training career that you love.  

If you’re hired 👍

This position requires you to be offer BOTH in person and virtual coaching. That means that you must live within driving distance of our Ottawa-based studio. If you’re hired for this position, you'll begin a 30-day training internship where you’ll have the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry. During the onboarding period you will need to be flexible with scheduling to potentially work early, mid-day and late afternoon/early evening shifts.

Bottom line:

• you’ll shadow training sessions

• have developmental meetings

• be required to complete educational “homework”.

Throughout the internship you’ll be paid minimum wage. Then if things work out and you’re a good fit for Evertrain, you’ll begin training new clients. At this point, you’ll be looking at approximately 20 hours of training clients per week to start at $23 per hour during your probation period. The aim is to build you up to 30-35 hours of training clients per week. Once you finish probation you’ll have the opportunity to move up the ladder and earn up to $36 per hour based on performance. We also offer commissions/bonuses and opportunities for growth as you progress with our company. 👍 We want to pay you as much as we can so that you can be compensated for the work you love. At this point, we're on the cusp of a large growth path for our company and that means a lot of career opportunities in leadership positions. If you're the right fit, we'd love to grow with you!

Our studio offers a clean, professional and welcoming environment, brand new training equipment, and the opportunity to learn the inner-workings of a successful boutique personal training studio.

Oh yeah, we’re also very fair, respectful, and appreciative. We like having fun and making a living providing highly valuable fitness services and products. You’ll be compensated fairly, treated fairly, and we will certainly look for ways to pay you more for your efforts if they warrant it. We want someone who loves working with our members just as much as we do and making a difference in the lives of others… because that’s what we do in our studio.😀 When you join our team, you’re like a part of our family and we treat you that way. 

If this sounds good to you, keep reading for more details on the position.

About Evertain 

Who We Are

Evertrain is Ottawa's leading personalized fitness-coaching company that helps people over 50 get out of pain and lose weight.

Unlike other fitness centres that focus on younger audiences and trainers who may not fully comprehend the needs of older adults, Evertrain offers a welcoming community for like-minded people over 50, paired with coaches who fully understand their unique needs.

At Evertrain, we empathize with the struggles that can come with injuries and inconsistency in maintaining a fitness routine. Our team has experienced similar challenges personally, as well as witnessed close family members who have gone through similar challenges. We know that the over 50 population has experienced a lot of discouragement, disappointment and often enough, they’ve given up hope for their ideal version of themselves. We’re here to bring back that hope and show them the path to success. Since 2015, we have helped hundreds of individuals over 50 across North America improve their health and regain control over their lives.

This is How We Do It

• Not everyone is a fit for the Evertrain family. The work we do is best done when we work together. 

• Although every Success Coach is assigned a roster of clients to oversee, most members end up working with everyone on the team at some point. 

• We lean on each other whenever we need it and are always brainstorming new ways to make everyone better. 

• We take time to make sure new team players are not only highly skilled and ready to perform in their roles, but align with our values and culture so we can all enjoy coming to work together every day and have fun at the same time. 

Our Core Values

1. Honesty, Integrity and Trust ❤️

What it is: Transparency, doing what you say you'll do, being there for clients, going the extra mile.

What it isn't: Dishonesty, hiding, obscuring/lying by omission. Not keeping promises. Not being there for clients when they need us. 

2. Continual Path of Improvement 🚀

What it is: Stay focused on the long-term. Putting in the work in an efficient and timely manner. Prioritizing continuing education. Never stop. Creating new habits, reinforcing old habits (that we want).

What it isn't: Not focusing on “big picture”. Taking “shorts cuts”. Thinking we already know everything we need to know. Obsessing over details without creating new habits. 

3. The Evertrain Experience 🏆

What it is: Being well prepared for the session. Showing your client's how well you know them and how much thought you put into their time with you. Providing the full coaching experience. Doing the unexpected. Connecting/introducing clients to staff and other members. Smiling and being friendly with everyone. Willingness to help when needed. 

What it isn't: Not being prepared/winging it. Only working during the in-person session. Not doing the extra work outside of sessions. Doing the bare minimum. Never making them feel a part of the community. Being in a bad mood and letting it show. Only helping people if you receive a direct benefit.
