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.

Every new coach also takes part in our 6-Month Coach Development Academy, designed to accelerate your growth through mentorship, practical coaching education, programming development, client management, and the business skills needed to build a long-term career in the fitness industry.

If you're serious about becoming a great coach, not just finding a job, this role provides the support, education, and experience to help you get there.

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.

As part of your development, you'll complete our 6-Month Coach Development Academy , combining hands-on coaching experience with structured education, mentorship, and ongoing feedback to help you develop faster and build confidence as a coach.

Who This Is For

We’re looking for trainers who are:

• Level 3 qualified

• 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

• A structured 6-Month Coach Development Academy

• Mentorship from experienced coaches

• Ongoing education and practical coaching development

• 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:

6-Month Coach Development Academy → Personal Trainer → Senior PT → Elite PT → Leadership / Management

During your first six months, you'll follow our academy programme, developing your coaching, programming, communication, client management, and business skills while gaining real-world experience coaching clients.

As we grow, there will be opportunities to take on more responsibility and increase your earning potential.

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.
