Are you passionate about helping others build sustainable fitness habits? Join us as a Virtual Physical Fitness Trainer, guiding clients through short, goal-specific fitness engagements — all from the convenience of your own space. This is a flexible, freelance role: you set your own hours, making it a great complement to an existing job or private practice.

Format at a glance

• Engagement type: Freelance, virtual-only, 1:1 (video + in-app chat)
• Session length: 30 or 60 minutes
• Session volume: Limited credits per presenting issue (per client's employer plan); extensions require a new, distinct goal
• Service model: Consultation & education — not physical therapy or medical treatment; not overseen by a medical department
• Client relationship: Short-term and goal-focused — expect healthy client rotation, not long-term retention

Why to join us

As part of our community, you'll collaborate with other fitness professionals to expand access to high-quality, structured fitness coaching. You'll help clients make real, focused progress within a defined engagement — and then move on to help the next client.

What you'll do

• Provide 1:1 virtual fitness coaching through video sessions and in-app chat, working within each client's allotted credits.
• Conduct a baseline assessment (PAR-Q, fitness/injury history, and GP clearance for relevant chronic conditions) before building any plan.
• Design personalized or templated workout programs tailored to the client's goals, fitness level, and equipment access.
• Educate clients on strength, cardio, flexibility, and recovery principles, and cue proper form via live video.
• Track progress and close out each presenting issue with a clear outcome before starting a new one.
• Tag each session with the single Main PI that best matches the client's focus, plus up to three Secondary PIs, per the Q3 2026 PI taxonomy (see the Holistics PI Manual).
• Recognize when a client's needs go beyond fitness coaching and refer to the appropriate licensed professional or Intellect service.
• Respond to in-app chat within the 12-hour SLA and complete session notes within 24 hours.

What's in scope

• Personalized/templated training plans and virtual fitness assessments.
• Live-session coaching, form cues, and technique demonstrations.
• Progress tracking, goal setting, and motivation/adherence support.
• General education on warm-up, cool-down, recovery, sleep, and hydration.

What's out of scope 

• Diagnosing or treating any injury, illness, or chronic condition.
• Physical therapy, rehab protocols, or “corrective” treatment.
• Recommending or prescribing supplements or performance-enhancing substances.
• Meal plans or specific dietary prescriptions (refer to Nutrition).
• Counselling on disordered eating or mental health concerns (refer to Intellect's mental health professionals).
• Promising specific outcomes, timelines, or guaranteed results.

• Proven experience as a personal trainer / fitness coach (typically 5+ years of active practice).

• Bachelor's in Exercise Science, Kinesiology, or related field, plus a recognized certification (e.g., ACE / NASM / NCSF / NSCA / ACSM / NESTA / ISSA), current or renewal in progress.
• Strong communication in English and local language; able to simplify concepts for non-experts.
• Language: Must speak Portuguese.
• Comfortable working within a structured, credit-based consultation model — even if your background involved longer-term or clinical care.
• Clear judgment about when to refer a client out, and willingness to do so even when it means the engagement ends.
• Tech-savvy: video conferencing, fitness-tracking tools, comfortable documenting session notes on a platform.
