Description
At Sherpa, we coach people for the life they live outside the gym. Our clients are marathoners and skiers, high school athletes and mountaineers, and grandparents who want to keep up with their grandkids on the trail. What they share is a reason to keep moving and a coach who knows them well. MOVE Your Boundaries™ is our promise to clients, and it's how we grow as a team.
Who we are: A small team at 1555 Post Road East in Westport, built on a concierge and small group model. We know our clients by name, their goals, and what they're training for. Our coaches have each other's backs: we cover for each other, share what's working, and talk through the hard cases together. Your voice matters here, and good ideas get used.
What coaching here looks like:
- Real programming. Assess, build, recover and restore, evolve. You run the assessments and retests and turn them into programs that last years, not weeks
- One on one and small group sessions, in person and virtual
- Your own book of clients, built inside Sherpa with the support of the whole team
- Mentorship from our head coach and me, and a clear pay tier path, so you always know where you stand and what the next tier takes
Pay and benefits: $50 to $90 an hour, 30 to 40 hours a week, with a ramp up salary in your first months while you build your book. Health, dental, vision, 401(k) and paid time off.
Schedule: Weekday afternoons and one weekend morning. Our mornings are full, so afternoons are where the growth is. This role is for someone who makes Sherpa their primary job.
Who thrives here:
- You practice what you preach. You train, you play, you get outside
- You're warm with clients and honest with them
- You keep the times you commit to. Our clients build their week around their sessions, and our coaches do the same for each other
- Endurance sports, the outdoors and a competitive spirit are very welcome
To apply: Along with your resume, tell us in a few sentences how you practice what you preach, and about one client you're proud of. We read every application, and every applicant hears back from us.
