Personal Trainer for Adults 40+ (Small Group Training) Jobs in Dover at CNU Fit
Train the clients most gyms ignore – and build a real career doing it.
Since 2009, CNU Fit has been Delaware’s #1 Transformation Studio. Our Dover flagship is where it all started – and where 3,500+ clients have lost a combined 45,000+ pounds. We specialize in adults 40+ who want to move better, get stronger, and stay independent. No overcrowded classes. No churn-and-burn floor shifts. Every client knows your name, and you know theirs.

You’re reliable and coachable – you love being on the floor with people, and you take feedback like a professional because you want to get better. You’re personable and genuinely passionate about coaching adults 40+ who are starting, restarting, or leveling up – this population is our specialty, not our side market. You’re motivated to grow – you want a company where performance earns you more hours, more responsibility, and a real title, not just a shift.

– Genuine care for the 40+ population
