IRON LAB VANCOUVER – FOR COACHES
Most gyms hire trainers.
We build exceptional coaches.
We’ve spent 16 years building Vancouver’s only exclusively 1:1 personal training studio. We’re not looking for someone to fill a shift. We’re looking for a coach who is obsessed with delivering exceptional results and becoming a better coach during the process.
THE REALITY MOST COACHES LIVE WITH
MOST STUDIOS
You’re paid the same whether your clients achieve incredible results or quit after a month.
You’re encouraged to sell high-volume session packages or questionable supplements, regardless of whether they’re in your client’s best interest.
Your role is to deliver as many sessions as possible, with little emphasis on coaching quality or long-term client outcomes.
Raises are earned through seniority or more hours on the gym floor – not by changing lives, delivering exceptional results, or mastering your craft.
IRON LAB
You’re rewarded for delivering coaching that creates real life-changing results.
Your focus is quality over quantity. No sales, no quotas.
Every incentive is tied to client success – not sales targets or session volume.
We don’t offer group or semi-private training because we believe transformational coaching happens through genuine one-on-one relationships.
Your compensation reflects more than your time on the gym floor. We reward the expertise, effort, passion, and exceptional coaching that creates visible results and lasting habit change.
OUR philosophy
ONE COACH. ONE CLIENT.
For 16 years, Iron Lab has done one thing. Exclusively 1:1 personal training - no group sessions, no semi-private, no compromise on the coaching relationship. Every client gets 100% of their coach’s attention, every session.
This isn’t a trend. It’s a position we’ve held since 2011 – because we believe that real results require undisrupted attention, and you can’t give that in a group or semi-private setting.
Coaches who join Iron Lab step into a proven system. You don’t build from scratch – you get better within something that already works. And we guarantee our clients‘ results, which is only possible because of the system we built over the 16 years and coaches who carry that standard every day.
EXCLUSIVELY 1:1 SINCE 2011
WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR
This isn’t a job description. It’s a set of values that either resonate or don’t. You’ll know within the first two lines whether this is for you.
| 01 | You measure the success of your week by how your clients have progressed - not how many sessions you delivered or how much you earned. |
| 02 | You want to be part of a team that holds the same standards you do - not to compete with them, but because shared excellence makes everyone better, and together we can build something extraordinary. |
| 03 | You are not building your own brand. You want to master your craft within a structure that makes that possible and rewards it genuinely and generously. |
| 04 | You want schedule freedom - not to do less, but because you work best when you’re trusted to manage your own time and you need your own time to take care of your own health and wellness. |
| 05 | You want compensation that directly reflects what you produce - and you’re confident enough in your coaching to want it that way and always ready to learn new things and keep improving. |
| 06 | You believe the best coaching happens in the details, in knowing your client deeply, tracking their progress obsessively, and caring about what happens between sessions. |
BEFORE YOU CONTINUE…
THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.
We don’t believe great coaches should be paid the same as average ones. Our compensation reflects the value you create and the results you help clients achieve. If you’re looking for a guaranteed salary regardless of client outcomes, there are plenty of studios that offer that model – we are not one of them.
If you’re building your own brand and looking for a platform to grow it – we’re not the right fit. The clients you work with here are Iron Lab clients, and we invest in relationships that stay that way.
If you want flexibility WITHOUT accountability – we’re not the right fit. Our coaches have full schedule autonomy. They also have full responsibility for client outcomes.
If you liked what you read that and you’re still reading – keep going.
WHAT BEING PART OF IRON LAB LOOKS LIKE
⚙️
A PROVEN SYSTEM
You step into 16 years of methodology – client assessment, programming, nutrition frameworks, and the tools that make our results guarantee possible. You don’t build from scratch. You get better within something that already works.
📅
REAL AUTONOMY
You choose your schedule. You take time off when you need it, making sure your clients are covered by the team. You are trusted to manage your schedule and deliver on what matters.
💵
PERFORMANCE PAY
Your base compensation is per session. Your upside is tied to client results – renewals, documented transformations, and outcomes that reflect what you’re actually producing. The better your coaching, the more you earn no cap.
👥
A TEAM STANDARD
You work alongside coaches who hold the same values. Monthly case reviews, peer learning, and a culture where a client’s breakthrough belongs to everyone. Not a workplace – a standard you belong to.
📈
PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
Continuing education support, in-house methodology development, and access to coaches who’ve been doing this for years. A clear path of growth that is aligned with your vision. You won’t plateau here.
👩🏻💻
ONLINE COACHING
Alongside your in-person practice, you can build an online coaching portfolio, additional income managed on your terms, powered by the same Iron Lab system, expecting the same results. Even more earning potential where you don’t train hours for money.
HOW THIS WORKS
1
YOU REACH OUT—
Not a formal application. Tell us about a client result you’re proud of. A moment where you knew you were exactly why I you love being a coach. That’s where we start.
2
A REAL CONVERSATION—
If there’s alignment, we’ll have a honest and friendly conversation. We want to understand how you think about coaching, what drives you, and what you’re looking for. You’ll get a clear picture of what Iron Lab actually looks like from the inside.
3
A STRUCTURED ONBOARDING—
If we both feel the fit is right, you’ll go through a structured period inside our methodology. It’s an investment from both sides, designed so you know exactly what you’re committing to before you do.
4
A LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP—
We’re not looking to fill a slot in a calendar. We’re looking to add someone to a team we’re building carefully, one coach at a time. If that’s what you’re looking for too, this is the right place.
