Full Job Description
VP OF PERSONAL TRAINING (FOUNDER-LEVEL - NEW VERTICAL)

Location: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary | Full-Time | Leadership + Profit Share

Overview

Rumble operates a multi-brand and multi-location fitness platform with established verticals in group fitness, recovery, and reformer-based training.

Personal training is a meaningful revenue stream with strong demand and an established client base. However, it is currently:
  • Trainer-dependent
  • Inconsistent across locations
  • Lacking a defined system and standardized experience
  • Underperforming in client retention

We are hiring a founder-level leader to take full ownership of personal training and build it into a system-driven, scalable vertical within the Rumble ecosystem.

Mandate

This role is responsible for building personal training into a recognized product and brand, with the same level of structure, consistency, and scalability as our other verticals.

You will:
  • Define the training methodology and product structure
  • Build a standardized, repeatable system across all locations
  • Develop and scale a coaching team and training infrastructure
  • Own revenue, retention, and performance at a multi-million dollar level
  • Establish a clear identity for Rumble Personal Training

Scope of Ownership

1. Product & Methodology
  • Define the Rumble personal training method (structure, progression, standards)
  • Build a clear, repeatable client journey
  • Ensure consistency across all locations

2. Systems & Standardization
  • Design and implement systems for:
    • onboarding
    • programming structure
    • delivery standards
    • performance tracking
  • Eliminate variability between trainers
  • Build processes that scale across multiple locations

3. Coach Development & Training Infrastructure
  • Recruit, onboard, and develop a pipeline of coaches
  • Build certification, evaluation, and progression systems
  • Establish a training and development function similar to educator roles in group fitness

4. Business Performance & Revenue Ownership
  • Own personal training revenue across all locations
  • Accountable for $5M+ annual PT revenue performance
  • Drive:
    • client retention and lifetime value
    • consult-to-close rates
    • revenue per trainer
  • Implement reporting systems and enforce accountability

5. Brand & Vertical Development
  • Build personal training into a distinct, system-based vertical
  • Contribute to positioning, messaging, and experience design
  • Develop a model that can scale across existing and future locations

Required Experience

Experience Level
  • 8-15 years in personal training, coaching, or performance-based fitness
  • Minimum 8+ years in leadership roles managing trainers or coaching teams
  • Experience in multi-location or multi-team environments strongly preferred

Revenue Accountability
  • Proven experience being accountable for:
    • $3M-$5M+ annual revenue, OR
    • Leading a division, region, or business unit at a comparable scale
  • Strong understanding of:
    • sales performance
    • retention metrics
    • unit economics of personal training

Systems & Scaling Experience
  • Demonstrated ability to:
    • build or implement scalable coaching systems
    • standardize delivery across multiple trainers or locations
    • improve performance through structure and accountability
  • Experience creating:
    • training frameworks

  • Operator discipline: strong organizational skills, systems thinking, and execution
  • Leadership capability: ability to develop people and enforce standards
  • Commercial acumen: understands revenue drivers, retention, and growth levers
  • Scalability focus: builds processes that work beyond individuals

Profile Fit

This role is best suited for someone who:
  • Is comfortable owning both product development and business performance
  • Wants to step into a founder-level role with real ownership and accountability
  • Has outgrown being a top individual trainer
  • Has a strong builder mindset and wants to create something at scale

What This Role Is Not
  • Not a personal training role with a client roster
  • Not a senior trainer or "head coach" position
  • Not a maintenance or administrative role

This is a build + operate + scale role with full ownership of a business vertical

Compensation Structure
  • Base Salary: $100,000 - $150,000 CAD
  • Performance Bonus: tied to revenue growth, retention, and system performance
  • Profit Share / Equity: structured based on performance and scope

Opportunity

  • A new vertical within an established multi-location brand
