*Nori Athletics | Port Moody, BC*
We?re looking for a *Personal Trainer / Fitness Coach* who cares about people just as much as they care about training.
Not someone who wants to spend their day counting reps, showing people exercises, and waiting for the next client to walk through the door.
We?re looking for a coach who wants to *actually make a difference in people?s lives.*
*ABOUT NORI ATHLETICS*
Nori Athletics is not a traditional gym.
We work with everyday people ? busy professionals, parents, and people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who know they need to make a change but don't necessarily see themselves as "fitness people."
Many of our clients have tried gyms, workout programs, diets, or doing it all on their own ? and eventually stopped.
Not because they're lazy or incapable. They just didn't have the right support, structure, or approach.
That's where we come in.
We make fitness and health *simple, sustainable, personalized, and enjoyable.* Our clients don't need another cookie-cutter workout. They need a coach who listens, adapts, pays attention to the details, and genuinely cares whether they succeed.
We're a *zero-ego environment* where coaches are expected to keep learning, take ownership of their work, and put the client ahead of their ego.
*Our Core Values*
- *Transparency* ? Communicate honestly, clearly, and openly.
- *Personal Accountability* ? Be on time, prepared, professional, and follow through.
- *Growth Minded* ? Keep learning, accept feedback, and continuously improve as a coach.
- *Client Commitment* ? Do what is genuinely best for the client. Prioritize form, individual needs, and sustainable results over ego.
- *Zero Ego* ? Leave the ego at the door. We care more about getting it right than being right.
If you're looking for somewhere to show up, run people through the same workouts, and collect a paycheque, this probably isn't the right fit.
