Paid Coach

Job Overview

Forge is a structured cohort program that uses shared physical training to help adults build real connections. We place small groups of 6-8 people into 8 or 12-week cohorts built around shared effort, consistency, and trajectory. The training is the vehicle. Belonging is the destination.

We are looking for Coaches/Cohort Facilitators in TORONTO/MISSISSAUGA/BURLINGTON who understand that what happens between people in the room matters as much as what happens to their bodies. This is not a standard group fitness role. You are not just programming workouts — you are holding a container where real human bonds form. If that distinction excites you, we want to talk.

Responsibilities

• Lead twice-weekly group training sessions with the same cohort of 6–8 adults over 8 or 12 weeks
• Design and program sessions appropriate to the group’s fitness level and cohort goals
• Create and maintain a consistent, safe, high-energy environment that fosters trust and continuity
• Show up with full presence and energy every session — consistency is the product
• Communicate with the Forge team on group dynamics, participant progress
• Contribute to the kind of atmosphere where people feel seen, challenged, and held accountable

Compensation

Guaranteed flat rate per session ($75-90 per hour) — paid regardless of attendance. No cancellations eating into your income. 2 sessions per week for 8-12 weeks and you know exactly what you’re making before the cohort even starts. Forge handles all client acquisition, matching, onboarding and administration. You show up and lead with high energy and commitment.

What We’re Looking For

• Background in strength training, powerlifting, CrossFit, functional fitness or hybrid training
• Minimum 5 years coaching or personal training experience
• Experience leading small groups — not just one-on-one clients
• Personal training certification an asset but not required if experience is strong
• ***Access to a training space is a significant advantage

The Right Person

Beyond credentials and experience, we are looking for someone who has been genuinely changed by being part of a group — a team, a training partnership, a program — and who wants to give that experience to others.

Someone who lights up when a group clicks. Who leads from the front. Who understands that showing up consistently for people is itself a form of leadership. If you have coached groups and walked away thinking about the people more than the programming — this role is for you.
