Careers

I know where you have been. As a personal trainer in big, corporate gym you feel like little more than a number; always torn between serving your clients and trying to earn a living; not seeing a clear vision of your future. This is why I started Envision Fitness.

Instead of feeling the awkward pressure to approach strangers with all eyes on you, our business is grown largely by referral marketing. Many of the people you will consult with are fired up to get started with you.

Instead of being handed a cookie cutter schedule, you will have the opportunity to build your schedule around the business you create. As your business grows, we will work to ensure you maintain a healthy schedule both in, and out of the gym.

Instead of competing for equipment in an overcrowded environment, you will be working in a small, personal atmosphere. Your clients will love not having to compete for your attention with other distractions a corporate gym may have.

This is Envision Fitness. Our ethos is:

• Community
• consistency
• Discipline
• Servant Leadership
  As a personal trainer you will play an integral role in your client’s lives. You will also:
• Lead group classes
• Learn to sell and grow your business
• Create your brand and market it on social media
• Become familiar with our scheduling and payment systems
• Take responsibility for cleanliness of the gym
  Envision Fitness is built around developing and exerting your leadership skills. It is our goal for you to become the leader you strive to be and take ownership over your business. With that in mind, our ideal candidate will embody the following traits:
• The ability to own your failures and celebrate your successes
• Bring your ideas to the table and be fearless in your defense of them
• Have an “always learning” mentality to hone your skills and develop a consistent pattern for growth
  At Envision, we value not just your time spent training, but also the work you put in behind the scenes. As such, you will be compensated with a base hourly rate. In addition, you will earn commission on your hours spent training your clients, signing up new clients, and teaching classes.
  Furthermore, Envision Fitness offers you the unique opportunity to have a seat at the round table. As you grow within Envision, you will become eligible for a partnership in the business, wherein you will be an integral part of the decision-making process and the creation of strategies for growth.

Requirements for this position include:

• 1-3 years of training experience
• Current personal training certification
• Bring a minimum of $1,000 in monthly revenue to the business upon hiring
• Possess an attitude for ambitious growth
• Willingness to compromise and debate ideas

Preferred but not required:

• 2, or 4-year degree in a health-related field
• CPR/AED certified at time of hire

SERVANT LEADERSHIP: A true leader is someone who puts those who place their trust in her or him first. Someone who can coach and inspire those same people to accomplish great things as a team. We aspire to these fundamental principles as your fitness professionals and as ordinary people ourselves.

COMMUNITY: Alone, a twig can be snapped in two; but together a bundle cannot be broken. We must remember we are stronger when we work together. Members and trainers alike, we are all here for each other.

DISCIPLINE & CONSISTENCY: To make a change you have to start; to see that change you have to persist. This is why having the discipline to remain consistent each and every day is so crucial. Motivation is temporary and driven by emotion. Discipline will take you to the next level. What does discipline look like? Getting up at 5 am to workout or showing up at 5:30 pm after a long day's work – every single day. Working out is fun! It should be fun! But results are driven by discipline and consistency.

“Personal training is an investment in yourself. You are investing in a healthy lifestyle so you may achieve everything you desire in your life.”

Eric Weiner has been helping people improve their fitness capabilities since early 2013, after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Sports Medicine. He previously worked as a personal trainer at a corporate fitness center before branching off to start his own personal training business.

Eric created Envision Fitness in 2016 with a focus on helping his clients improve their overall health – physical and mental. Originally focusing on personal training, he decided to add fitness boot camp classes to the mix to foster a sense of community, servant leadership, and empowerment. The Envision gym in Hopkins offers fitness boot camp classes, individualized personal training classes, and nutrition coaching. Eric hopes to expand to more locations in the future as Envision Fitness grows.

When it comes to fitness professionals, Eric believes the best trainers show empathy and compassion. Having invested in a personal trainer himself, he strongly believes in the profound impact they can have on your life.

“For me personally, fitness really became a passion when I hired my own personal trainer. He challenged me physically and mentally, and targeted my weaknesses. Each session was unique, while still building on previous sessions. After only the first month I became an instant believer in the power of personal training, and have I become a much better leader because of it. I recommend personal training to everyone.”

• FOOD INTAKE: A healthy diet isn’t about eating less, it’s about eating smart. With Envision, you will learn how to eat in a way that is specific and unique to your own body and fitness goals. Together, we will devise tailored meal plans that are easy to follow, and develop a better understanding of what your body really needs. A combination of education, moderation, and the proper exercise regimen equals results.
• CARDIO: With aerobic training and other cardio exercises, we will help you maximize your results while boosting your calorie burn, heart function, and immune system. By managing your workout frequency, intensity, time spent, and type of exercise, you can hit your target heart rate, and, in turn, devise the perfect cardio plan to see the results you’re looking for.
• DIETARY SUPPORT: We believe in a “food first” approach; however, sometimes we cannot get everything we need through food alone. Let us teach you how to boost your fitness program and overall health with the right vitamins and supplements. When used properly, they can play a major role in reaching your fitness goals. We will guide you in choosing the RIGHT dietary support in your journey to results.
• RESISTANCE TRAINING: Building strong muscles through strength training will help you burn fat, increase your metabolism, and maintain healthy bones. All parts of resistance training (free weights, machines, cables, tubing, and exercise balls) are part of a complete program. Together, we will create a tailored and progressive resistance training program specific to you.
• PERSONAL ASSISTANCE: Through our personal training and fitness boot camp classes, we will be with you every step of the way, eliminating guesswork and clearing a path toward your goals in a safe and effective way. We will help determine the perfect mix of the five components, and develop a customized fitness program according to your own unique goals and current fitness status. By pursuing the five components of fitness with the help of Envision Fitness, you will avoid searching for answers and follow a direct path to your fitness goals!
