Freelance sports coach

About Atelier Fitness

Atelier Fitness is building a community around sport, wellbeing and experiences. Our coaches are the face of the brand on the ground: they create the energy, the safety and the high standards that keep our members coming back.

Your role

You lead recurring sessions for our members and our corporate clients. You prepare, coach and adapt every session for groups of mixed abilities, in a premium and supportive setting.

Your responsibilities

1. Leading recurring sessions

• Coach weekly slots: running, bootcamp, strength work, Hyrox, mobility.
• Adapt the intensity to the levels in the group, from beginner to advanced.
• Take charge of the warm-up, technique, safety and cool-down.
• Build a group atmosphere: welcome newcomers and keep in touch with regulars.

2. Corporate sessions & events

• Lead workplace sports sessions and team-building workshops.
• Work at Run & Brunch events, weekends and sports trips.
• Represent the brand with clients and partners.

3. Preparation & follow-up

• Build programmes and progressions over several weeks.
• Report back after every session: attendance, how participants felt, incidents.
• Suggest new session formats to try out.

Who we are looking for

• A recognised diploma or certification in sports coaching.
• Experience coaching groups, outdoors as well as indoors.
• Freelance status that allows you to invoice, and professional liability insurance.
• A speciality is a plus: running, Hyrox, cross training, strength work, mobility or yoga.
• Working French and English.
• Punctuality, reliability and a real sense of service.

Flexibility & the reality of the role

Sessions take place early in the morning, at the end of the day or at the weekend. Recurring slots are scheduled in advance, with one-off assignments for events and trips.

Culture fit

• Demanding and supportive: we push without ever humiliating.
• Attentive to every participant, whatever their level.
• Reliable on timing and preparation.
• Proactive with ideas on formats and on how members progress.

Tools & skills we value

• WhatsApp
• Google Workspace
• Tracking apps (Strava, Garmin)
• Stopwatch & the equipment provided

Indicative goals & KPIs

• Attendance — Maintain a high attendance rate on the recurring slots.
• Satisfaction — Earn excellent member feedback after every session.
• Loyalty — Bring participants back from one week to the next.

Recruitment process

1. A first conversation: background, certifications, availability and specialities.
2. A trial session leading an Atelier Fitness group.
3. Setting up the collaboration: slots, rates, freelance contract.

Growth

The collaboration can grow into more slots, responsibility for a signature format or coordinating the coaching team.
