Fitness with Heart and Soul – Fitness Trainer // Fitness Instructor 70% Wanted

About the job

For our GIGANTE GYM in Gerlafingen, we are looking from November 2026 for a fitness trainer who is professionally skilled, enjoys working with people, and also brings their own ideas.

We are an owner-managed fitness studio and know many of our members personally. There are no long decision-making processes with us: If you have a good idea, you are welcome to contribute it and – if it fits – also implement it.

What to expect with us

People of all ages and with very different goals train with us: beginners, bodybuilders, powerlifters, functional training fans, endurance athletes, group fitness enthusiasts, and people who want to train safely again after an injury or with physical limitations.

It is exactly this variety that makes working with us exciting. You do not have to be specialised in every area. However, it is important to us that you bring a good, broad understanding of training. This also includes being able to confidently explain and correct not only machines but also the common free basic exercises.

Your tasks include:

• Supporting and advising our members
• Introductory training and individual training plans
• Adapting exercises for back problems, physical limitations, or for older and somewhat frail members
• Instruction of machines, free basic exercises, and functional exercises
• Leading core and circuit training (You do not have to constantly train yourself but can also guide and correct the exercises.)
• Helping to ensure that our members feel comfortable and well cared for with us

You do not need a physiotherapy qualification for this. However, you should be confident in sensibly adapting training for common complaints and limitations.

What we wish from you

• A recognised fitness qualification that meets the requirements of the QualiCert standard
• Good basics in anatomy and training theory
• Confidence in instructing basic exercises such as squats, deadlifts, as well as pressing and pulling exercises
• Enjoyment in working with very different people
• Willingness to lead group classes
• A warm, reliable, and independent manner

Your main place of work is Gerlafingen SO. Usually, you will also work about once a week in our studio in Kirchberg BE.

What we offer you

• CHF 3,400.– to CHF 3,700.– gross per month at 70%, depending on qualifications and experience, as well as the possibility of an additional bonus in December.
• Attractive working hours, mainly Monday to Thursday (mornings/evenings) and Friday (until midday)
• Generally free weekends, except for occasional holiday cover
• Five weeks’ holiday
• Lots of room for your own ideas and direct exchange with us
• A family-like working environment – family with heart and soul!

Would you like to offer something of your own as well?

Outside your paid working hours, you are also allowed to offer your own services with us – for example, personal training, nutritional advice, workshops, or events.

You organise and invoice these offers independently, and the income belongs entirely to you. The only important thing is that your offer fits our guidelines and is agreed with us in advance. You can use our premises for this by arrangement and subject to availability.

Start of work: November 2026
Workload: 70%
