Personal Trainer (Newly Qualified / Early Career)
Common Purpose Training, Mayfair, London
£25,000 Base + £30,000+ OTE | Full-Time | Career Development Pathway
Looking to start your PT career properly?
If you’ve recently qualified (or are early in your PT career) and want more than just renting space in a gym, this could be a great fit.
At Common Purpose, we offer a structured, full-time coaching role where you can build real experience, develop your skills, and grow a consistent client base — all within a supportive team.
About Us
We’re a premium personal training gym based in Mayfair, focused on:
* High-quality coaching
* Long-term client results
* A strong team culture
* Developing great coaches
Our main service is semi-private personal training, where you coach small groups following tailored programmes. It’s a great way to build confidence, improve your coaching, and work with a range of clients.
The Role
You’ll be working as part of a coaching team, delivering sessions on the gym floor and building your own client list.
This includes:
* Coaching 1-1 and small group sessions
* Supporting clients with training, consistency, and progress
* Learning how to programme and coach effectively
* Building strong relationships with clients
* Working alongside other coaches and learning from them
You won’t be left to figure things out on your own — we provide structure and support from day one.
Who This Is For
We’re looking for trainers who are:
* Level 3 qualified
* Already working (or have worked) in a gym
* Good with people and enjoy coaching
* Keen to learn and improve
* Reliable and professional
* Looking for a long-term role in the industry
This role is ideal if you want to move away from:
* paying rent in a gym
* inconsistent income
* figuring everything out alone
What You’ll Get
* £25,000 base salary
* £30,000+ expected earnings in your first year
* A clear development pathway
* Mentorship from experienced coaches
* A consistent flow of clients to work with
* A team environment (not a freelance PT model)
Progression
We have a clear pathway as you develop:
Personal Trainer → Senior PT → Elite PT → Leadership / Management
As we grow, there will be opportunities to take on more responsibility and increase your earning potential.
How to Apply
Send your CV along with a short message covering:
* Why you got into personal training
* What you’re looking for next
* What you want to improve as a coach
Final Note
We’re not looking for perfect coaches, we’re looking for great potential with the right attitude.
If you’re motivated, coachable, and serious about building a career in fitness, we’d love to hear from you.
