PCG Private and Semi-Private Health and Fitness Coach – Job Description:

Company Overview:

Peak City Gym is a family-owned training gym specializing in Fitness-Over-Forty. We help people over forty take back control of their health and fitness even when they feel they are too busy and burned out from failed past attempts.

As a training gym all of our members are engaged in either private or semi-private coaching. The vast majority of members participate in our flagship Ageless Athlete and Power Hour semi-private training classes, which are limited to 6 members per coach to offer the benefits of personal training in a small group setting. Members also have access to pop-up and specialty classes such as Bootcamps, Active Recovery, Nutrition Seminars, Cooking Classes, etc when available.

Since our Grand Opening in January 2020 we have cultivated an incredible sense of community at Peak City Gym.

We have hosted several member events including our annual Member Appreciation Night in August/September, dinners at local restaurants, bowling night at King’s Dining and Entertainment, bourbon tasting at The Oak in Raleigh, and much more.
