About Us:
Help People Discover Their Strength. Build Confidence. Create Community.
At the Regional Recreation Corporation of Wood Buffalo (RRC), our vision is simple: Together we create community. Every day, our facilities bring people together to move, connect, learn, and live healthier lives. Whether someone is taking their first step toward a fitness goal or training for their next personal best, our team is here to make every visit a positive and empowering experience.
We are looking for a Personal Trainer who is passionate about helping people succeed on their own terms. This role is about more than creating workout plans it's about building relationships, inspiring confidence, and supporting members as they work toward healthier, happier lives. You will celebrate milestones big and small, provide expert guidance, and create an environment where every individual feels welcomed, supported, and capable.
No two clients are the same, and that is what makes this role so rewarding. One hour you may be helping a beginner feel comfortable in the fitness centre, and the next you are challenging an experienced athlete to reach a new level of performance. Through encouragement, education, and personalized coaching, you will help people build lifelong healthy habits while making fitness enjoyable and accessible.
At the RRC, you will be part of a collaborative team that lives our values of Safety, Collaboration, Innovation, Sustainability, and Diversity. We believe great Personal Trainers do more than improve physical fitness they create meaningful connections, foster belonging, and help people become the best version of themselves.
If you are energized by helping others achieve their goals, enjoy creating positive experiences, and believe that every workout has the potential to change someone's day, or even their life we would love to hear from you.
Join us in creating a healthier, stronger community, one member, one goal, and one success story at a time.
