Where Coaches Become Leaders.
Stop Building Someone Else’s Dream.
Build Your Own at Tribuo.
What Stays the Same if You Don’t Change Paths?
Trading hours for income with no long-term upside.
chasing leads without systems or support.
No clear roadmap beyond “just a trainer.”
Why trust us?
"We know what it’s like to pour yourself into coaching and have nothing compounding when you stop. That’s why Tribuo exists — to turn great coaches into leaders and owners.
- A proven hybrid model with strong retention and community.
- Selective hiring to protect team culture and client experience.
- Written roadmap with ownership milestones.
Here’s how we’re different:
Shared Success. Be part of a team, their win is your win.
Proven Growth. Our Co-Founders have already proven this model with 13 branches.
A Path, Not a Position. From day one you’ll see a roadmap — coach → leader → owner.
Client Growth: No more hustling for leads — we help you build a steady base.
Impact Over Sales. Clients stay because of your coaching, not your hard sell.
Training: You'll learn more in 6 months at Tribuo than 2 years in regular gyms.
Future: Ownership milestones for long-term wealth and stability."
Most gyms see you as labor.
A body on the floor. A sales machine.
When you stop working, you stop earning — and you’re left with nothing to show for it.
We don’t play that game.

FAQ
Do I need prior experience?
We welcome both new and experienced coaches. What matters most is your character, values, and willingness to grow. Skills can be developed with our mentorship and structured systems.
Is this full-time or part-time?
This is a full-time career opportunity. Tribuo is not just another part-time coaching gig.
Why only one role?
All our leadership and higher positions are progressed into from a coach starting role.
I’ve only done freelance coaching and small group sessions — can I still apply to Tribuo?
Yes. Many of our coaches started as freelancers before joining Tribuo. What matters most is your ability to connect with clients, your energy in group settings, and your openness to learning within our system.
I’m passionate about fitness but not certified — will Tribuo help me get the right certification?
Absolutely. While certifications like ACE, NASM, or NSCA are an advantage, we won’t let the lack of one hold you back. If you’re the right fit, we’ll guide you toward the right certification and support you through it.
Do I need prior experience working with groups, or will my personal training experience be enough?
Group experience is helpful, but not required. We’ll train you in crowd control, energy management, and Tribuo’s 8-week coaching system so you can confidently lead small groups. Your 1-on-1 experience will still be valuable.
What does the career path look like — how do coaches progress toward leadership and ownership?
At Tribuo, you don’t just stop at “personal trainer.” From day one, you’ll see a roadmap:
Coach → Community Coach → Head Coach → Share Holder.
As you grow, you’ll gain leadership responsibilities, mentorship opportunities, and eventually ownership milestones — meaning your hard work builds your future, not just someone else’s.
If this sounds like you,
you might be the right fit for Tribuo:
You have the courage to step up, take ownership, and lead — even when it’s not the easy choice.
You’re hungry to grow, learn, and push past limits — for yourself and those around you.
You build people up, giving them the tools and confidence to thrive inside and outside the gym.
You care deeply, listen well, and make others feel valued and supported.
You can handle challenges, bounce back stronger, and keep moving forward.
You’re looking for more than just a job — you want a career path that leads to leadership and ownership.
