Careers at Body Elevated

Body Elevated is a small practice with a narrow focus: strength and conditioning coaching for adults who want measurable progress. We work with a few dozen clients at any given time. This is not a volume business, and we don't hire like one.

When a position opens here, it opens because either the practice is growing and we want to keep the quality of coaching constant, or because a specific gap has appeared that we can't fill internally. Either way, the bar is high. We'd rather stay small and good than grow and get average.

Who we bring on

Almost all hires at Body Elevated are coaches or coach-adjacent. The two roles that come up most often:

Strength coaches and personal trainers

We look for NSCA-CSCS, NASM-CPT, or equivalent certification as a baseline. More than credentials, we want to see that you have a real coaching philosophy — not just a collection of exercises, but a framework for how you decide what a client needs at a given point and how you adjust when the program isn't working. We've hired people who came out of powerlifting, Olympic lifting, and general fitness backgrounds. What they had in common was an ability to program for someone other than themselves and a genuine interest in the unglamorous work: the check-ins, the form-check videos, the habit conversations.

Remote coaching is the core of our business. Comfort working asynchronously — video feedback, structured weekly check-ins, messaging-based accountability — is not optional. If your coaching instinct is to stand next to someone and correct in real time, you may find the format limiting. We find it efficient, but it requires a different skill set.

Client support and program coordination

We occasionally bring on someone to help with client onboarding, program scheduling, and the back-end coordination that keeps things running. This is less a traditional "admin" role and more a position for someone who has training experience themselves — enough to understand what clients mean when they describe a session, and to communicate with coaches accurately. It's not a coaching position, but it tends to attract people who are also coaches or are studying to become one.

What it's like to work here

We work mostly remote. Coaches communicate with clients through our coaching app, handle form-check turnaround within 24 hours, and write programs weekly. There are no fixed office hours in the traditional sense, but there are real turnaround expectations and clients who are counting on you to show up when you say you will.

Naeemah runs the coaching side and is hands-on with every hire. If you join as a coach, you'll have a direct working relationship with her, including regular check-ins on your caseload and client feedback. New coaches start with a small caseload and grow it over the first few months as they get oriented to how we program and communicate.

The pay is straightforward: coaches are compensated per active client per month, at a rate above the going contractor rate for remote coaching. We don't use tiered pricing for coach pay based on seniority — the rate is the rate, and it goes up as the practice grows. No non-competes. No mandatory upsell scripts. No requirement to post on social media or maintain a personal brand on behalf of the practice.

Values, plainly stated

• Honesty with clients. We don't overpromise timelines. If a client is behind where they want to be, we say so and explain why. Coaches who default to reassurance over reality don't tend to last long here.
• Programs built from evidence. We follow training research closely. We don't program things because they look good on video. When we're uncertain, we say we're uncertain.
• Clients come first, caseload size second. We don't push coaches toward unsustainable client loads. The quality of each coaching relationship matters more than volume.
• No supplement affiliate stuff. We don't earn from recommending products to clients. If we recommend something, it's because we use it or believe it, not because someone is paying us to.

How to apply

There's no online application form. Email [email protected] with the subject line "Coaching role" or "Coordination role" depending on what you're interested in. Include a short paragraph on your background, your certifications if relevant, and why Body Elevated sounds like a fit. If you have a coaching philosophy you've written up somewhere — a blog post, a document, anything — link it. We'll read it.

We reply to every application, even when the answer is no. Turnaround is usually within a week. If we think there's a fit but the timing is wrong, we'll say that too and stay in touch.
