We’re growing, and our clients are our top priority.
I’m Ginny Grupp, AlaskaFit’s owner and program developer. I design personal-training programs for individual clients in which muscle imbalances and postural issues are assessed / addressed. Then we focus on improvement of overall fitness levels with a combination of strength training and cardio exercise.
I develop corporate wellness programs and run Boot Camp classes in Anchorage.
My work is centered in the midtown Anchorage area with individuals and companies that have their own facilities. I love what I do and I’m excited about providing valuable fitness services and products to my clients.
AlaskaFit is a professional company which offers a positive work environment. I am looking for energetic, enthusiastic trainers and Boot Camp instructors who enjoy working with others, have a passion for health and fitness, and above all, desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
Become a part of our AlaskaFit team and get these great benefits:
Enjoy variety in your workday. Successful candidates will begin working with clients and/or instructing boot camp classes 2-5 days per week, and up to 4 hours per day.
Gain professional experience in your field. During the initial 90-day trial period, trainers and instructors will log a minimum of 8 hours of training per week, at a rate of $20 per hour. This time will be divided between hands-on client/class work and AlaskaFit policy & procedure training.
Be rewarded for excellent work. We at AlaskaFit believe that excellent work performance should be rewarded. After the 90-day trial period, and pending evaluations of work performance and skill sets, trainers/instructors may be hired as AlaskaFit employees, receive an increase in per-hour rate and be eligible for bonuses and increased client training hours.
