Contractor / Rental Model:

Independent contractor arrangement

The Performance Coach position operates under an independent contractor rental model.

Performance Coaches operate their own personal training business from Function Well and are not employees of Function Well.

Under this model, the Performance Coach is responsible for the operation and performance of their own business, including their clients, applicable business obligations, required insurances and professional registrations.

Access to Function Well facilities, rental arrangements, fees, inclusions and other commercial terms are governed by the applicable Performance Coach contractor/rental agreement.

This model provides coaches with the opportunity to build their own personal training business within the Function Well environment while benefiting from access to the Function Well community and facilities in accordance with their agreement.

Our Commitment:

Function Well wants Performance Coaches to build successful, sustainable careers. 

We provide a supportive environment, comprehensive onboarding and ongoing opportunities for development while giving coaches the independence and ownership that comes with operating their own personal training business. 

This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than a casual PT side gig. We are looking for coaches who want to build their business, develop their craft, create exceptional client outcomes and Be the Benchmark.
