Strength & Conditioning Coach / Personal Trainer – Full-Time Career Opportunity Jobs in Dripping Springs, TX at – 5383
This Isn’t Your Average Gym Job.
If you’re looking for a few coaching hours each week in exchange for a free membership, this probably isn’t the role for you.
We’re Hill Country MVMT—a family-owned strength and conditioning gym in Dripping Springs, Texas. Since 2019, we’ve helped everyday adults become stronger, healthier, and more capable through exceptional coaching, meaningful relationships, and a community that genuinely cares.
Our mission is simple: Move Well. Move Often.
We’re looking for a professional coach who wants to build a long-term career in fitness—not just pick up shifts between other jobs.
This position is designed to grow into a full-time coaching career built around personal training, small group coaching, member development, and specialty services.
If you believe coaching is a profession—not just a workout—you’ll fit right in.
Who We Coach
Our members aren’t professional athletes.
They’re parents.
Business owners.
Busy professionals.
Active retirees.
Women navigating pregnancy, postpartum, peri- and post-menopause.
Youth athletes.
Weekend warriors.
People recovering confidence after years away from exercise.
Every one of them deserves thoughtful coaching, genuine encouragement, and someone who sees the person—not just the program.
What Success Looks Like
Within your first 90 days, you’ll be working toward:
- Coaching approximately 7–10 small group classes each week
- Training 8–12 recurring personal training clients
- Leading MVMT Prep Course onboarding sessions for new members
- Conducting Goal Review appointments and InBody assessments
- Building lasting relationships with members through consistent follow-up
- Completing administrative responsibilities accurately and on time
- Contributing to a culture of professionalism, continuous improvement, and exceptional member experiences
If nutrition coaching and behavior change are areas you’re passionate about, there are opportunities to grow into those specialties as well.
What We’re Looking For
Our ideal coach is:
- Passionate about strength and conditioning—not simply fitness

- Confident coaching both individuals and groups
- Humble enough to receive feedback and committed enough to apply it
- Detail-oriented and capable of following systems
- Comfortable building relationships with people of all ages and fitness levels
- A team-first professional who genuinely cares about helping others succeed
We value coaches who communicate well, solve problems proactively, and take pride in doing the little things right.

Strongly Preferred:
- At least one year of experience coaching both personal training clients and small groups
- Experience coaching with barbells, Olympic lifts, kettlebells, and functional strength training
- Comfortable coaching movement quality—not simply leading workouts

We’re specifically looking for someone who can consistently coach:
- Lunch and early afternoon hours Monday through Friday

Our coaching schedules vary week to week based on client demand, so flexibility is important.

- You want free gym access more than a coaching career.
- You prefer entertaining classes over teaching movement standards.
- You dislike giving or receiving constructive feedback.
- You’re uncomfortable coaching beginners, older adults, or people managing injuries or chronic health conditions.
- You have experience only in large-group fitness environments such as cycling studios, kickboxing gyms, or choreographed fitness classes.
