ABOUT FOUNDRY

We set out to reinvent what it means to be a gym.

Our mission: to create an inclusive, customer-centric experience that focused purely on helping our members enjoy their gym experience.

And more than a decade later, this mission still holds true. Trends have come and gone; we’ve grown, improved, and adapted. Ultimately, we want our members to thrive – and everything we do is a reflection of that.

Today, we have seven exceptional training gyms across Greater London and the South East – North Kensington, Richmond, Bank, Vauxhall, Aldgate, Crowborough, and Old Street. And we’re just as committed to helping people fulfil their fitness journey as ever.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re looking for exceptional people to join our dynamic coaching team at "one of the best gyms in the world" (Men's and Women's Health).

Voted the Best Gym in London by 210,000 Londoners at the London Lifestyle Awards.

Finalists in the Regional and National Club of the Year category for the ukactive Awards 2023 and 2024.

We DON’T want to hear from you if:

• Your ego is bigger than your biceps
• You’re dogmatic about technical perfection
• You can’t wait to ‘clock off’ at the end of your shift
• You (think you) know it all

We want to hear from you if:

• You’re hungry for learning and development
• You love getting stuck in and going the extra mile
• You’re a ‘people person’ that thrives in a diverse community
• You know how to have a laugh – and when to get your head down

• You’re looking for a full-time, salaried position with competitive salary, paid holiday, and plenty of perks
• You have a CIMSPA/REPS Level 3 or equivalent (and at least one year of experience working in the industry)

We’re looking for great PEOPLE (not perfect COACHES) with at least a year of experience as a PT under their belt. And who would be excited to get stuck in with our industry-leading Foundry Academy and CPD programme to continue their growth and education.
