Who we are
Posture and Performance is an Abu Dhabi-based health and performance company focused on helping people move better, perform better and build long-term health.
Our approach combines functional training, movement and biomechanical assessment, performance testing, metabolic and VO₂max testing, and individualised exercise programming.
We believe effective training starts with understanding how an individual moves, identifying limitations and compensations, and developing a structured training strategy around their needs, abilities and goals.
The role
Functional training, grounded in assessment
We are looking for a female Personal Trainer / Functional Training Coach with a strong background in functional training and biomechanics to join our team in Abu Dhabi.
The role includes a combination of individual and small-group training sessions, with groups of up to 4 people. Even in a group setting, we expect our coaches to understand each client's individual needs, movement patterns and physical capabilities.
The majority of sessions are delivered at our gym location, with a smaller portion potentially conducted at clients locations across Abu Dhabi.
Key responsibilities
- Conduct functional movement and biomechanical assessments.
- Identify movement limitations, asymmetries and compensations.
- Develop training strategies based on assessment findings and client goals.
- Deliver individual and small-group functional training sessions for up to 4 clients.
- Adapt exercises within group sessions according to individual abilities and needs.
- Apply appropriate corrective exercise strategies as part of training programmes.
- Coach strength, mobility, stability, coordination, conditioning and functional movement.
- Monitor client progress and adapt programmes accordingly.
- Deliver occasional training sessions at clients' locations.
- Maintain a high standard of coaching, client experience and professionalism.
- Contribute to a training approach focused on long-term health, physical capacity, performance and longevity.
Qualifications & requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Sports Science, Physical Education, Physiotherapy or a related field.
- Personal Training certification or another relevant professional qualification is an advantage.
- Strong knowledge of functional training, human movement and biomechanics.
- Ability to assess movement and translate findings into practical training strategies.
- Good understanding of corrective exercise principles.
- Experience with both individual and small-group coaching is preferred.
- Ability to manage multiple clients while maintaining individual attention and coaching quality.
- Strong communication and client management skills.
- Professional, reliable and comfortable working independently.
- Genuine interest in longevity, health optimisation, performance and evidence-based training.
- UAE driving licence is an advantage.
Compensation
Performance-based model
Compensation depends on the candidate's qualifications, experience and expertise. The role follows a performance-based compensation model, combining a base salary with a strong commission structure based on sessions delivered.
Earning potential that grows
The structure provides higher earning potential as the coach's client and session volume grows — your income scales directly with the coaching quality and client base you build.
Who we're looking for
A coach who understands movement
More than a workout deliverer
We want a coach who understands how and why people move differently, can recognise compensations and limitations, and knows how to translate those observations into effective training strategies.
Individual attention in every format
The right person is equally comfortable coaching an individual client and managing a small group, while still providing attention to each person's movement quality, capabilities and goals.
Interest in performance science
An interest in longevity, metabolic health, VO₂max, recovery and performance testing is a strong advantage — and the reason our coaches grow with us.
