OTE £30,000–£45,000+ | Structured Career Pathway | High-Performance Environment | Multi-Site Growth

About Common Purpose

Common Purpose is one of London’s leading personal training communities, built around technical excellence, high standards, and meaningful client results.

We work with high-performing professionals who expect more from their training — and from their coaches.

Our members value not only strong technical knowledge, but also professionalism, adaptability, and the ability to build trusted long-term relationships.

At Common Purpose, exceptional coaching means combining:

• Technical expertise

• Clear communication

• Accountability

• The ability to guide clients toward lasting results

Our coaches operate as a collaborative team, upholding shared standards and delivering a consistently exceptional member experience.

Our core service is a semi-private personal training system, where members follow tailored programmes while coaches oversee multiple clients on the gym floor. This model allows trainers to develop real coaching skill while building a sustainable client base.

As we continue to expand across London, there will be clear opportunities for leadership, mentorship, and increased responsibility.

This is not just a gym job.
This is a structured coaching career.
