This Is Not a Coaching Job. It's a Leadership Role.

Most coaches are great at coaching. This role requires something more — someone who can coach, lead a staff, own the member experience, and treat the training floor like the business it is.

At D1 North Shore, the Head Coach is the most important hire we make. You are the standard. You set the tone for every coach on staff, every session on the schedule, and every athlete who walks through the door expecting the best workout of their week.

If you're looking to punch in, run a few classes, and punch out — this isn't it. If you're ready to own something, build something, and lead a team that genuinely changes lives through performance training — keep reading.

About D1 Training North Shore

We're an elite athletic performance facility in Glenview built on the training principles used at the collegiate and professional level. Our members include youth athletes ages 7 and up, competitive high school athletes, adults, and teams — all training together in a high-energy, results-first environment.

Our mission: You pick the goal. We help you get there. The Head Coach is the person most responsible for delivering on that promise every single day.

What You'll Own

Coaching & Athlete Experience

  • Serve as the primary coach across Scholastic (ages 7–18), Adult, and Team programs
  • Deliver every session with energy, precision, and the ability to connect with athletes of every age and ability level
  • Set and maintain D1's 5-star training standard across the floor — every class, every time
  • Lead athlete assessments and goal-setting as part of our onboarding process
Team Leadership & Development

  • Hire, onboard, and develop a coaching staff that reflects the D1 standard
  • Lead ongoing coach education, programming reviews, and performance audits
  • Provide direct, actionable feedback that makes your coaches better every month
  • Build a coaching bench that supports facility growth and protects quality at scale
Member Retention & Operations

  • Drive proactive retention through check-ins and low-usage outreach
  • Support our 7/30/60/90-day onboarding touchpoints to keep new members engaged and progressing
  • Oversee class scheduling, staffing coverage, facility cleanliness, and equipment upkeep
Growth & Community

  • Support grassroots marketing, local partnerships, and community events
  • Help drive referrals and organic growth by being the kind of coach people talk about
Qualifications

  • NCCA-accredited certification required (CSCS, NASM, USAW, ACSM, or equivalent)
  • Current CPR/AED/First Aid certification required
  • Minimum one year of coaching experience in strength, conditioning, or group training
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and develop a team
  • Collegiate athletic background strongly preferred
  • Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science or related field preferred
  • High energy, high character, and a team-first approach to everything
Compensation & Perks

  • $48,000+ base salary, commensurate with experience and certifications
  • Commission and performance bonuses tied to real KPIs
  • PTO, free unlimited D1 membership, and continuing education support
A Final Word

The coaches who thrive in this role aren't waiting to be told what to do. They walk in the door and make the facility better — not just for themselves, but for every athlete, every coach, and every family that trusts us with their goals.

If that's how you operate, we'd love to meet you.
