Our programs are assessment-driven and deeply personalized, giving clients exactly what they need to maintain energy in midlife and protect their independence as they age.
​
As part of our team, you’ll work in an environment that values professionalism, meaningful client relationships, and evidence-based training.

About this Role
When you join Ritual, you become part of a mission-driven institute that looks deeply at each client, seeks to understand their story, and is committed to helping them rewrite what is possible. We treat every client with the same care and respect you would offer a parent or sibling, and we work every day to help them build the health to live the life they deserve.
​
This role is vital to delivering the high-quality experience our clients expect. As a Personal Trainer, you will work directly with clients enrolled in one of our signature programs: The Ritual Journey, The Independence Journey, or The Roots Program. You will guide clients through thoughtful, assessment-based training sessions tailored to their specific needs and goals.
​
You will play an integral role in administering fitness assessments, designing individualized training plans, and guiding clients through the strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, and movement patterns that support long-term health and vitality.
​
This position begins as part-time, with the opportunity to grow into a full-time role as your client base and professional interests expand. All sessions take place in our private training studio in Arden and incorporate the evidence-based approaches that define our programs.
