Facility Leader / Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

Facility Leader - ATS Strength & Fitness (West Berlin, NJ)
Full-Time | $50,000-$60,000 base + up to $18,000 performance bonus

Read this part first.

This is a hard job with really high standards. We’re telling you that up front because the right person just leaned in, and the wrong person just closed the tab. Both of those are the point.

ATS started in 2012 in a 550 sq ft storage closet in Lindenwold. Today we’re five locations and 500+ members across South Jersey. We’re going to 1,000 families a month, and we don’t get there with average leaders.

Berlin is where it all started. It’s home to our small group training program for adults over 40, and it shares the building with our athlete performance program. 100+ members are in that building right now, waiting on their next leader.

Why we’re different

Our founder is writing his PhD dissertation on personal trainer burnout. We studied why coaches leave this industry, then built a company that fixes it.

Most gyms:
✕ Pay you per session and leave you to figure it out
✕ Never tell you how you’re actually doing
✕ Keep you coaching the split shifts and crazy hours forever
✕ Run a revolving door of coaches

At ATS:
✓ Real salary, plus a bonus tied to a scoreboard you can see
✓ You know where you stand every single week
✓ We promote from inside first
✓ A team that stays, and actually wants you to win

What this actually is

You run a location. Not “help run.” Run. Sales, retention, referrals, your head coach’s development, the member experience, the standard of every session. That’s yours. There are big problems to be solved by this leader, and you’re going to make a really BIG impact in the community when you solve them.

You’ll know exactly how you’re doing every single week, because there’s a scoreboard: Leads → Answered Calls → Starting Point Sessions → Sales → Cancels → Referrals. Green or red. No gray. If that sounds stressful, this isn’t for you. If that sounds like the first time a job has ever told you the truth about your performance, keep reading.

Is this you?

• You wear a hard hat. Not the loud, high-energy kind of hard work. The boring kind. The call you make on Tuesday when you don’t feel like it. The card you write. The follow-up you don’t skip. Every day, without anyone checking.
• You’re organized to a fault. Your calendar runs you and you like it that way. Nothing lives in your head. It lives in a system. If people have ever called you “a little much” about your to-do list, good.
• You’re competitive and you hate losing. Not with your teammates. With last week’s numbers, with our other locations, with the version of you from a month ago. You want the ATEAM to win and you take it personally when it doesn’t.
• You show up. On time is late. Every session, every meeting, every time. This is the minimum, and half the people who apply won’t clear it.
• You can coach. 2+ years, expert-level strength & conditioning knowledge, CPR/AED required. Bachelor’s degree and CSCS/NASM/ACSM/ACE a plus. But understand: coaching is the entry fee, not the job.

What you get

• $50,000–$60,000 base, up to $18,000 in bonus tied directly to that scoreboard
• IRA matching, health insurance stipend, PTO, professional development
• No weekends. Early mornings and some nights required.
• A real path up. We’re opening more locations, and the person in this seat who executes is the next leadership conversation.
• A team that actually wants you to win

Don’t apply if:

You just want to coach. Great coaches are gold here, but this seat is for the person who wants to COACH and RUN the location.

Not quite ready to run a location? Apply anyway and tell us. We hire coaches across South Jersey, and we keep every application on file.

Apply if:

Every location we open, the same thing happens: a leader steps up, a team forms around them, and a few hundred families in that town get stronger because of it. Berlin is where ATS was born. The next chapter has your name on it, or it doesn’t.
