Dupont 24 Hour Fitness is seeking passionate, certified, local freelance fitness professionals to join our dynamic team at our brand-new facility located at the vibrant intersection of Dupont \& Ossington.

We're building a community-focused gym environment where trainers have the freedom to grow their client base while receiving excellent support and compensation.

We are looking for local trainers that are active in the community and can bring their own clientele to our gym, as well as upselling personal training packages to our existing members. With over 650 presale memberships already sold, we offer a starting client base eager for professional guidance on their fitness journeys.

About Dupont 24 Hour Fitness

We set out to create a gym that feels like an oasis for the Dupont and Ossington community, where fitness is an essential part of self-care and community well-being. A space where people canrecharge, decompress, get healthy, and enjoy a bit of "me-time".

We're very much an anti-chain gym. We believe that many chain gymsdon't adapt to the needs and preferences of the local communities that they serve, resulting in a cold and generic design and atmosphere. We're a space that transcends the conventional gym experience in favour of something deeply authentic, personal, and tailored for our community.

We aim to build a welcoming, community-focused environment that prioritizes personal wellness, connection, and support. Our space is both functional and inviting, offering fitness facilities designed to meet a variety of needs. We're committed to delivering a personalized experience shaped by our members' needs, local collaborations, and a focus on overall well-being.
