Key Responsibilities

We are the best vegan fitness coaching team in the world, but we have a commitment to growth. We are on a mission to help 1,000,000 vegans. To accomplish this ambitious mission, we must work our asses off daily to become better than we were yesterday. We will continue to hold ourselves to a high standard of excellence. This role requires a deep commitment to client success, an extensive understanding of vegan nutrition and fitness, excellent communication skills, and a passion for delivering exceptional service and hospitality.

At a high level, here are the key responsibilities for this position:

  • Develop Personalized Nutrition Plans: Work alongside our team’s Registered Dietitians to create tailored vegan nutrition plans for each client, considering their health goals, dietary restrictions, allergies, and preferences. Ensure these plans are nutritionally balanced, sustainable, and aligned with the latest scientific research on vegan nutrition.

  • Design Customized Training Programs: Construct personalized training and fitness regimens that complement the nutritional plans, catering to the client's fitness level, goals, and any physical limitations. Continuously monitor and adjust these plans to ensure progress and prevent plateaus.

  • Conduct Regular Coaching Calls: Engage in scheduled coaching calls with clients to discuss progress, challenges, and adjustments needed in their nutrition and fitness plans. Use these calls to motivate, educate, and provide the emotional support needed to help clients stay on track.

  • Provide On-Demand Text Support: Offer prompt and responsive text support to clients for their queries or immediate needs related to nutrition, fitness, or motivation. This involves being accessible within reasonable hours to ensure clients feel supported at all times.

  • Deliver Unreasonable Hospitality: Exceed standard expectations by offering a bespoke, client-centered coaching experience that attends to the minute details of the client’s preferences and needs. This includes going above and beyond in personalizing their journey, celebrating their milestones, and being exceptionally accommodating and anticipative of their needs.

  • Achieve Outstanding Client Results and Satisfaction: Continuously strive to exceed performance expectations in terms of client results (e.g., weight loss, muscle gain, improved fitness levels) and happiness metrics. Implement strategies to measure and improve client satisfaction regularly.

  • Stay Informed and Educate Clients: Keep abreast of the latest research and trends in vegan nutrition and fitness. Educate clients on these topics through resources, workshops, or discussions, empowering them with knowledge to make informed choices about their health and lifestyle.

Expectations

  • You must want to win. We are on a mission to help 1,000,000 vegans get into the best shape of their lives and DOMINATE the vegan health & fitness industry. Our audacious goals require that we refuse to settle for anything less than our best. If you don’t enjoy being pushed outside of your comfort zone and constantly learning, growing, and improving, this is not the right team for you.

  • You must be meticulous. We firmly believe that excellence is in the details. You need to always put in your 100% effort. We believe every text we send our clients, every food we recommend to our clients, every exercise we program for our clients, and every conversation we have with our clients matters… A LOT. We pay close attention to every detail and put maximum effort into every task, from the mundane to the critical.

  • This is NOT a 9-5 job. You will work from home and will have flexibility in your schedule, but there will be long work days as needed to support your clients and our team. You have flexibility in determining how many clients you maintain on your roster (and thus how many hours you work per week), but most of our full-time coaches work 45 to 50 hours per week.

Requirements

To qualify for this position, you MUST:

  • Be a vegan who is passionate about veganism, fitness, and plant-based nutrition! 💪🌱

  • Be 100% aligned with our Core Values

  • Be on FIRE to make a massive impact in the world! 🔥

  • Be a certified personal trainer (CPT) and/or certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) with current certification from an accredited association such as the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), American Council on Exercise (ACE), National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), or other. Nutrition certifications are preferred but not required.

  • Have a demonstrated history of client success. You will be required to provide client case studies and show your client results through the application process for this position. If you are a brand new coach, we would love to consider your application after you’ve accumulated real-world results and experience.

  • Have an extremely high level of work ethic

  • Have access to high-speed internet during all working hours

  • Be an excellent communicator with stellar English grammar

  • Have a HUGE passion for helping people transform their lives! ❤️

  • Be available to work 45-50 hours per week, on average, consistently (this will be a full-time position)

  • Be a STRONG leader that our clients and team can lean on!

Benefits

There are many perks to this position:

  • You can work from home (or anywhere in the world) 🌎

  • You’ll have tons of growth potential and opportunities within our fast-growing team 🔥

  • You will get to attend our annual Vegan Superhero Retreats and other team events (see video below)! Attendees have called this retreat “The BEST experience of my life!” and “A truly life-changing experience.” One attendee who has been to hundreds of vegan events over the past 30 years called the Vegan Superhero Retreat “the best vegan event in the world.” You don’t want to miss the power of this special experience!

  • You’ll have the opportunity to spend all of your time with other awesome vegans! Our entire team and all of our clients are vegan! 🌱🐮🐷🐔😊

  • You'll have a direct role in transforming hundreds of lives and have the opportunity to watch their transformations from start to finish in this position! 😀

  • Limitless opportunities for personal and professional growth! 🚀 For example, at The Vegan Gym, we have a Team Book Club that allows us to grow and learn together. Some recent books we’ve read as a team include Atomic Habits by James Clear, Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara, and The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni.

  • You can earn thousands of dollars in performance bonuses every quarter

  • You will have paid time off and can work flexible hours

  • Note: We currently do not provide health insurance or a 401K plan. We are a small company, and insurance costs are prohibitively expensive.

Why You'll Love Working With Us:

  • Impact: Every day, you'll be directly contributing to the betterment of people's lives while saving animals and the planet! 🐮🌎❤️

  • Culture: Join a team where hard work is celebrated, and wellness is not just preached but practiced.

  • Growth: We're on a fast track to becoming the go-to vegan health and fitness platform, offering unparalleled opportunities for personal and professional development.

  • Flexibility: Enjoy the freedom to innovate and operate in a way that maximizes your strengths and impact.

COMPENSATION

There are three components of our coaching compensation:

  1. Base pay: you will receive a set amount per month for attending team calls and doing other fundamental tasks as required by this position

  2. Coaching pay: you will be paid a set rate per client on your roster per month

  3. Bonuses: you will receive performance bonuses for achieving certain client success metrics

This role is a full-time position, but you will start with zero clients and scale up to a full-time client roster (typically about 35 clients for most coaches) over the course of 4 to 6 months. Over this time period, your income will increase accordingly. During this transition to a full-time client roster, you can maintain another part-time position to supplement your income as long as it does not interfere with your coaching performance. Once you are a full-time coach, you cannot have other work commitments, including maintaining your own clients on the side. Full-time coaches on our team make $60,000 to $90,000 USD per year (depending on your performance). There are many opportunities for growth and promotions within this position! 🔥 All compensation will be paid twice monthly (on the 1st and 15th).

PLEASE NOTE: Please take your time to answer each question in detail. We receive many applications, and we are unable to interview every applicant. Please be sure your application stands out!
