We’re a small, dedicated team primarily working with golfers — helping them move, feel, and perform better.
Our clients are mostly in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. They show up on time, work hard, and are a genuine pleasure to work with. We pride ourselves on delivering a premium, personal service in what we believe is the best overall golf fitness facility in the UK — combining environment, expertise, and exceptional care.
We’re always looking for great people who take pride in their work, value long-term relationships, and want to contribute to something meaningful — whether on the gym floor or behind the scenes.
If that sounds like you, take a look at our current openings below.

Golf Fitness Coach — Part time, Dronfield
Know golf? Good with people? We’ll teach you the rest.
Applications close Sunday 15 November.
We’re looking for a coach to join our team in Dronfield and help golfers move, feel, and perform better.
You’ll work closely with Jon Hodgkinson and our small, committed team to deliver an exceptional experience to clients who are consistent, engaged, and a genuine pleasure to work with.
You don’t need to be a qualified fitness coach yet. If you know golf inside out and people warm to you, we’ll train you in our method and support you through your Level 3 Personal Training qualification.
The role
- Coach golfers 1-to-1 and in small groups (max 3 clients) using our clear, proven system.
- Run assessments and onboarding (full training provided).
- Support clients to stay consistent in their training.
- Talk golf. Our clients want to know their coach understands the game they love.
Hours & pay
We’re flexible on both hours and employment arrangements.
- Pay will be based on a range of £26,000–£31,000 FTE based on experience and skillset.
- We expect to start with 1–2 days per week. Depending on experience and skillset, there’s scope for this to grow.
- We run sessions from 06:30am–7pm. You won’t be expected to do this every day, but availability for at least two morning or evening blocks per week is preferred. Saturday morning availability is also preferred.
- School-hour patterns are welcomed, and we encourage returners to work to apply.
What we’re looking for
- In-depth knowledge of golf. You play regularly, understand the swing and the game, and can talk golf with experienced club golfers from day one. This is essential.
- You are warm, confident and personable, and can build trust easily with clients aged 40–70.
- You are coachable. You would enjoy learning our method and following proven systems.
- Reliable. You’re looking for steady, long-term work and can commit to regular weekly hours in Dronfield.
- Coaching experience and a Level 3 PT qualification are desirable but not essential. To coach on your own you’ll need a Level 3 PT qualification, and for the right person we’ll support you to get it.
This might not be for you if…
- You don’t play golf or follow the game closely.
- You dislike working within structured systems and as part of a team.
- You have your own training philosophy and would find it hard to coach someone else’s.
- You’re actively building your own business or brand as your main focus.
Perks of the role
- A rare opportunity to turn your love of golf into a meaningful, financially rewarding career.
- Mentorship from one of the UK’s most experienced golf fitness coaches.
- A premium training + working environment, with a golf simulator on site.
- Clients who show up, stick around, and genuinely want to improve.
- Support with professional development and qualifications, including Level 3 PT.
- The chance to grow into a key team member as the business expands.
- Private medical insurance (for employees).
